We are delighted to offer an Advanced Permaculture Course in Teaching, with Jude Hobbs and Tom Ward, this June at Wolf Gulch Farm. With hundreds of graduates of the Permaculture Design Certificate Course in the United States, we hope that many will take the opportunity to deepen their understanding of how to convey the philosophy and practice of Permaculture to others. Jude and Tom's Teacher Training courses get to the heart of Permaculture; focusing on group process and the creation of versatile, expansive learning environments. Students of this advanced level course have used these new teaching tools and techniques in all kinds of settings, including community development, activism, coalition building, school programs and design courses.
