We are delighted to offer an Advanced Permaculture Course in Teaching,
with Jude Hobbs and Tom Ward, this June at Wolf Gulch Farm in Southern
Oregon. With hundreds of
graduates of the Permaculture Design 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 Tom¹s
Teacher Training courses
get to the heart of Permaculture while focusing on the creation of
versatile, expansive learning environments,
 group process, and confidence building. Students of this advanced level
certification course have utilized these new
 teaching tools and techniques in diverse settings, including community
development, activism, coalition building,
school programs and Pc design workshops and courses.
