>New Permaculture Training and Work Experience Opportunity
>
>Tamu Tariaticha, the Permaculture community in Patxcuaro, ( State of
>Michoacan, in Mexico) is announcing the commencement of a new training
>and work experience opportunity in Permaculture.
>
>The first phase is an annual, four-week intensive training program. This
>is essentially an extended Permaculture Design Certificate Course.
>Extended because much of the training will be outside in the field,
>actually doing it and seeing it done. A practical, hands-on experience
>of what Permaculture is about. Students will live and work and study
>alongside members of the community.
>
>But it is more than just an extended Permaculture course. It is an
>invitation to join and share with a small community in the beautiful
>landscape near Lake Patzcuaro. Additional activities during the course
>can include (depending on your interest) workshops on such topics as
>massage, herbal medicine, making/playing drums, participate in a
>temascal (sweet lodge) ceremony and more.
>
>While the immediate community of Tamu is small, we have many skilled and
>talented friends closely associated with our community. These people can
>be called in to add their talents to the course/community experience.
>
>
>The second phase depends largely on the interest and abilities of each
>student.
>
>People with reasonable knowledge of the Spanish language will be able to
>choose from a variety of projects and activities with some of the
>organisations with which Tamu works. Many of these NGOs are keen to have
>help from willing, useful people. In most cases this activity will be on
>a work exchange basis (ie in return for board and lodging), or will be
>at a very low weekly cost. A range of possible activities are available
>- from Community Development, Project Implementation, Agrofrestry,
>Organic Farming, Local Environmental Action etc. Locations vary from
>Campeche in the south to Queretero in the mid-north. The work of these
>organisations is extremely impressive, and an opportunity to work with
>such groups will be a valuable and rewarding experience.
>
>People with little or no Spanish, will have the opportunity of joining
>the community of Tamu (as many of us speak enlish) as a "permanent
>visitor" (or is it ‘temporary resident") to work and live with us.
>
>In either case, it will be up to both parties to agree on the conditions
>and details of the work and stay involved.
>
>The cost of the four week, intensive is $1200US. This includes full
>accommodation, food, tuition and certification (by the Instituto de
>Permacultura de Mexico AC). The cost of the on-going work experience
>will be negotiated on an individual basis - but will generally be either
>exchange, or at a very low maintenance cost.
>
>The course for 1999, is scheduled to start on August 14.
