Hi Dave,

Happy late birthday!!!  May 19th..woohoo...me too.

I hope this finds you well!

I am wondering if there is any plan for a PC teacher training at the beginning of November or someone else's that you would recommend that will be taking place at that time.  This sounds nice though my seasonal work at Omega's Wellness Ctr is still underway.

If you have any leads please send them my way.

Thanks!

It was nice spending time with you and Mike at the cafe in Ithaca.

Hope you're feeling great... thriving in all you do.

Chao,
Diana

Teaching Permaculture Creatively:
An Intensive Professional Permaculture Teacher Training Course
with Dave Jacke, Kay Cafasso, Chris Jackson, Kim Almeida and Trent Rhode
With an integrated 3-day course in Financial Permaculture!!!
September 16–27, 2010
The Farm, Summertown, Tennessee
Sponsored by The Financial Permaculture Institute and Gaia University Southeast.

Permaculture Teacher Training:
Given that events make the best teachers, it follows that our role as educators is to design learning events.  In this teacher training, 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 series of workshops during the integrated Financial Permaculture Course.  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! 

To see what past course graduates are saying about this course, see the attached Student Outcomes document.

Limited to 30 certified permaculture design course graduates; significant pre-course preparation required.  NOTE: This course has a prerequisite.  Applicants must have received a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC).

Financial Permaculture Course:
The Financial Permaculture Course provides an organized and supportive container for permaculture designers, financial planners, business people, and regular folks looking to build a financially viable life to work together, share skills and information, and develop new models for creating viable livelihoods that regenerate planet, people, and communities.  This year the course will offer a focus on creating viable permaculture teaching businesses, as well as permaculture workshops run by this year’s Teaching Permaculture Creatively trainees.  You don’t need to be an expert in permaculture, finance or business to benefit from integrating permaculture principles with financial and business planning!  

Course objectives:

• Participants experience and develop the complete suite of skills needed to begin successfully teaching short permaculture workshops and other events on their own.
• Participants leave able to contribute significantly to teaching certified permaculture courses under the mentorship of an experienced permaculture teacher.
• Participants experience taking the seat of the teacher multiple times during the course in a variety of settings, both within the course and in a public venue.  We all grasp the essence and significant details of what it means to create effective learning environments and effective learning events.  
• Participants come prepared to collaboratively co-create the teacher training course and teach a one day public permaculture workshop (specific requests for how to prepare will be laid out after acceptance into the program).  
• Participants collaborate to create a community of learning teachers and teaching learners:
  
  • we cocreate a safe, supportive, fun, healthy, and whole learning environment;
  • we support each other to take risks, share ourselves, grow deeply, move through edges and perceived restrictions, explore new ideas, and try new teaching styles and approaches;
  • we share and constructively evaluate each others’ work;
  • we cooperatively develop shared resources for the larger permaculture teaching community.
    
• Participants clarify, articulate, and evolve their beliefs about what a teacher is and what is their teaching philosophy. We all experience putting that philosophy into practice consciously.  We all have the opportunity to deprogram beliefs that inhibit our effectiveness as teachers and learners.
• We experience all of the above through learning events and experiences that express, embody, and demonstrate the principles of permaculture design in action.
• We engage in co-creating the Financial Permaculture Course (FPC), sharing our knowledge and experience, learning from and with others, and observing and evaluating the FPC as a whole and each part of it individually.
• We have a total blast doing all of the above.

this is our greatest reason for hope.
