ADVANCED PERMACULTURE DESIGN INTENSIVE : ECOLOGICAL DESIGN AS SPIRITUAL
PRACTICE
with Dave Jacke and Michael Judd
at Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch, Woodbourne, NY
*
OCTOBER 16 - 25
*

In this 10-day design intensive, students will dive into a 'professional'
ecological design project, guided by leading permaculture teacher,
ecological designer and author Dave Jacke. Learning in a "studio-team"
context, students will use real site and client data to address a specific
design challenge: food production/preservation/distribution systems,
buildings and energy, water and wastewater, and socio-economic
sustainability. As a collective, we will integrate each design area
and generate a schematic Master Plan proposal for the 'client site' -- a
77-acre yoga ashram community. Students will also deepen their understanding
of the design process by engaging in ashram culture: daily yoga and
meditation practice, and satsang. Individual and group reflection during
class will also be geared towards understanding the connection between our
spiritual practice/s and our work as designers and responsible people in the
world. Open to graduates of Permaculture Design Certification courses,
people with 1-2 years of related design experiences, *or* others pending
phone conversation. (Newcomers to permaculture encouraged!) Program includes
world-recognized instruction in classical yoga. See the full Course
Description <http://bit.ly/oUXNl>. Space is limited.

ABOUT THE PLACE: Permaculture has taken root at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga
Ranch in Woodbourne, NY! The ashram is sponsoring a full season of courses
and workshops while they prepare for full-scale permaculture-oriented master
planning of their 77-acre site. The ashram exists as a center for teaching
yoga and vedanta philosophy, so yoga and meditation instruction are built
into the daily schedule of permaculture courses. Join us as we explore, draw
out and practice the deep inter-connection between unity of body, mind, and
spirit with responsible, healing, and regenerative action in the world. *
