"My experience in the course was invaluable.  I find

will, and see the world around me in a way that I feel
leads to making more conscious decisions and living
better in harmony with the earth."

This course will combine critical design skills with
leadership, nature connection, and most importantly an
urban focus, building and exceeding upon the
internationally-recognized Permaculture Design
Certification curriculum.  Our programs offer by far the
most complete curriculum of any similar course -- with a
huge focus on leadership, personal growth and community
design as well as green business.

"This course was the BEST time I have had in the past
6 years"  - Lana T, Graduate

You'll learn how to create sustainable, thriving human
systems, from green houses and organic gardens, to local
micro-economies and communities, using sustainable design
principles that are applicable to every human system,
from businesses, communities, and cities to personal
relationships.

"The experiences I have had and people I have met through
Common Circle has been life changing.  On these trips, a
community is created and everyone's individuality is
honored, welcomed and celebrated as you work together
each day to prepare meals, confront issues large and
small and find out how each and every one of us can be
the change that we wish to see in the world."
 - Marlee F, Course Graduate

Because of our unique focus on Urban and Suburban
solutions, our courses are radically different from most
other programs, teaching permaculture as a design science
rooted in nature. With most of the world's population in
cities, we must meet people where they live with real
sustainable solutions.

Starting by learning the lessons from nature with some of
the world's most renowned organic farming experts, we
will then look at how to apply what we learned from the
soil and the water to building sustainable, lasting
institutions.

We hope you will be able to join us for this incredible,
life-changing experiential course!

Much gratitude,
