The below course was already announced on this list a
while back, but needs emphasis. We need donations to
enable a few students to take the course that need your
help. Your donation will be tax deductable
(in USA: Green Phoenix Permaculture).
For those who haven't read Dave Jacke's book "Edible
Forest Gardens", you are missing out. If you are
thinking you might want to teach Permaculture, don't
miss this opportunity! For those who don't think they
are ready for teaching, but have taken the PDC and want
more, Larry Santoyo and Toby Hemenway will be returning
to the Catskills for an Advanced Permaculture Course
May 16-22 2009. We are still finalizing details, but
contact me if you are interested. A formal announcement
will be coming soon.

*Teaching Permaculture Creatively:*
A NINE-DAY TEACHER TRAINING
February 27– March 8, 2009
Camp Epworth, High Falls, NY
Cost: Sliding scale $1,100 - $1,500; commuters pay less; some scholarships
may be available.
Given that events make the best teachers, it follows that our role as
educators is to design learning events. In this course, we will explore how
to create events that teach permaculture, applying ecological principles and
processes to the design of permaculture workshops, courses, and other
experiences. Learn how to create effective learning environments based on
quick assessments of students and their learning modalities, eight
intelligences, and other niche characteristics. Each student in this course
will design and run short classes and exercises, speak in public, plan and
budget for an event, and coteach a one day permaculture workshop at course
end. What do whole learning systems look, feel and sound like? Come find
out! The best way to learn is to do, and to have fun doing it! Join us!
Limited to 25 certified permaculture design course graduates; pre-course
preparation required.
