Permaculture Design Certificate Course

  Virgin Islands Sustainable Farm Institute

November 9-22, 2009

U.S. Virgin Islands

For More Info & Registration Visit LivingMandala.com




In Association with

Virgin Islands Sustainable Farm Institute & Appleseed Permaculture

Facilitators & Instructors

Ethan Roland, Dyami Regan-Nelson, Ben Jones


Course Description

Learn how to create sustainable, productive, and beautiful human  
environments using natural ecosystems as models. Permaculture is an  
evolving and expanding design system for ecological living,  
integrating plants, animals, buildings, people, and communities.  
Through experiential, participatory, field-based, and classroom  
learning, participants will explore the relationships between  
personal, social, and ecological sustainability in the rich context of  
life at the Creque Dam Farm, home of the Virgin Islands Sustainable  
Farm Institute in St. Croix, USVI.


Course Components

This two week program focuses on design as an ecological process,  
assessing natural systems, and weaving integrated solutions to local  
and global problems. Faculty guide students through the design of  
projects beginning with interviews of clients, needs assessment,  
development of real solutions, and culminate in a formal permaculture  
design and presentation.. The design course culminates with  
presentation of design work to the class, community, and clients.


Topics Include

Site analysis of vegetation and wildlife, natural building, compost  
and soil, water preservation, guilds, zoning, forest gardens, seed  
saving, grey water, and tools for planning, mapping, and executing a  
sustainable, abundant ecosystem and human culture


Cultural Mentoring

Woven throughout the weeks will be the principles of Cultural  
Mentoring. Cultural Mentoring is derived from native teachings from  
many lineages including that of Tom Brown and Jon Young, and creates  
support for the development of a healthy individual and community.


Site Details



The Virgin Island programs will be hosted by the Sustainable Farm  
institute, located in the Virgin Islands, U.S. The Virgin Islands  
Sustainable Farm Institute is over one hundred acres of rolling green  
hills and valleys nestled in the highlands of the northwest corner of  
St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. VISFI promotes the development  
of agroecology: an innovative field of agriculture that enjoins  
productivity with resource conservation, using ecological and  
indiginous management models to create sustainable life systems. We  
believe local, organic agriculture and a practical educational  
experience are the first steps toward building vital communities and  
achieving long term sustainability within a healthy environment. These  
beliefs led to the establishment of our Four Pillars: Education,  
Sustainability, Community, and Environment. We use these focal points  
to guide decisions that will promote our farm�s vision. For more  
information om the Sustainable Farm Institute please visit: www.visfi.org


Tuition & Registration
