Institute For Bioregional Studies

This summer learn practical skills and knowledge
to design and implement sustainable systems
that are in harmony with the natural world.

Permaculture Design Course August 4-17
(at the Spry Point Ark, formerly the New Alchemy Institute)
Permaculture is about self-reliance, growing food, and
building energy-efficient structures. The PDC teaches the
principles by which sustainable systems become responsive to
economic, social and environmental elements. Graduates will be
certified as 'Permaculture Designers' and will be entitled to
use the term in the pursuit of livelihood.
Permaculture Instructors:
Dr. John Todd and Nancy Jack Todd, Monica Kuhn, Phil Ferraro,
Garry Lean, Dr. Dan Earle and others.


Eco-Cities Design Colloquia:
Building Sustainable Communities
August 18-21 Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island

The Challenge
Cities have become global environmental parasites; processing
food, fuel, energy and consuming resources well beyond their
boundaries. In the 21st century, cities must function in very
different ways or they will undermine their own survival and
that of their inhabitants.

Action Plan
An outstanding group of internationally known facilitators
will work with participants to develop a model eco-city along
the Charlotetown waterfront. The new plans will budget our
resources, conserve energy, utilize renewable energy
technologies, build long lasting structures, develop efficient
public transportation, reduce and recycle wastes and supply
staple foods locally.

Affordable Housing / Straw-bale Construction Workshop
August 25-27
This hands-on workshop wil explain the mechanics of building
with straw-bales and designing a home for energy efficiency.
