In this intensive course, David Holmgren, co-originator of the Permaculture concept (with Bill Mollison in 1970's) 
provides an insight into permaculture as a set of design principles for reshaping how we manage land, our lives and our 
livelihoods in an world of energy descent. Using a combination of free flowing lectures, visual presentations, case 
studies of his own work, structured group discussions, observation and design exercises, David Holmgren breathes life 
into the design principles which link the diversity of permaculture solutions. This 3 day format allows participants to 
gain experience in using the design principles in a small group site design exercise. For PDC graduates wanting to 
expand and redesign their permaculture toolkit for new conditions and challenges, this course provides an update on the 
ongoing evolution of these permaculture principles and their applications.

DAVID HOLMGREN is best known as the co-originator with Bill Mollison of the permaculture concept following the 
publication of "Permaculture One" in 1978. Since then he has written several more books, developed three properties 
using permaculture principles, conducted workshops and courses in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Japan and North 
America. Within the growing and international permaculture movement, David is respected for his commitment to presenting 
permaculture ideas through practical projects and teaching by personal example. He shows by example that a sustainable 
lifestyle is a realistic, attractive and powerful alternative to dependant consumerism. As well as constant involvement 
in the practical side of permaculture, David is passionate about the philosophical and conceptual foundations for 
sustainability, which are highlighted in his latest book, Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. 
With this book already on its third print run, and his increasingly prominent profile as a public speaker, David 
provides leadership with his refreshing and unorthodox approach to the environmental issues of our time.
David Holmgren lives with his partner Su Dennett and their son Oliver at “Melliodora”, a one hectare permaculture 
demonstration site at Hepburn Springs, Central Victoria, Australia


There are still some places (and barter positions) available for this
