COURSE INSTRUCTORS:



Erik Hjermstad
Erik Hjermstad is an ecological designer and permaculture practitioner from
San Diego. His longtime experience in media and manufacturing now serves his
passion for regenerative agriculture here in southern California. He is the
creator of Cobfest, a barn-raising turned micro-festival that now serves as a
prototype for open-source gathering platforms to effectively regenerate the
world around us while having healthy fun with our friends.

Erik understands that to solve the ecological challenges facing our culture,
we must cultivate powerful social collaborations to effectively aggregate our
human resources into regenerative solutions.



Ryan Rising
Ryan Rising is a community organizer and permaculture educator based out of
the San Francisco Bay Area who most recently organized and facilitated the
Permaculture Action Tour with music producer The Polish Ambassador in the
fall of 2014. Ryan focuses on creating community access to land for local
food growing and regenerative living – connecting people to take action and
transition to a resilient way of life.

Ryan has taught numerous courses and workshops, including the Elemental
Alchemy Permaculture Intensive before Symbiosis Gathering in 2013 and a
month-long Gaia Education certified Eco-Village Design training this past
winter in Nicaragua. A certified permaculture designer with a degree in Peace
and Social Justice Studies, he also co-founded a regenerative, productive
urban farm in the east bay and now organizes with the Omni Commons – a
community organizing space and education center in Oakland, CA.

Ray Cirino
Ray Cirino is a natural builder and permaculture artisan who was awarded in
2012 with the City of Los Angeles Certificate of Commendation for his
creative contributions and community organizations. Especially interested in
the patterns of nature and architecture, he holds an architectural degree at
Miami-Dade Architecture school and a diploma from the North American School
of Natural Building.

Ray founded two Water Woman festivals based on permaculture techniques and
sustainable art and has been studying and practicing permaculture for 15
years. His 20’ Water Woman sculpture was featured in Smithsonian Magazine in
1999. He continues as a top innovator in energy, agriculture, water, and
shelter systems, turning the great challenges we now face as a species into
opportunities for Ecological, Psychological, and Spiritual Sustainability.

Loren Luyendyk
Loren Luyendyk is a Certified Teacher of Permaculture, with over 15 years of
practical experience in Permaculture Design, ecological farming,
sustainability, and horticulture. He has a degree in Botany from UC Santa
Barbara, and is a Certified Arborist and Master Gardener. He has experience
with Keyline Design, Holistic Management, Natural Building, Biodynamic
Farming, and The Soil Foodweb. His teaching has taken him across the globe,
where he has spent extensive amounts of time sharing and learning with local
cultures in the United States, Central America, New Zealand, and Australia.

He is the owner of Santa Barbara Organics (www.sborganics.com), a
permaculture design and land management business through which he designs and
installs permaculture systems for residential and farm lands. Loren, also
started the Global Permaculture Design Group (www.globalpermaculture.com),
and is the founder of the non-profit organization Surfers Without Borders
(www.surferswithoutborders.org). Loren is inspired by nature, and works to
regenerate the earth while providing for our needs and creating community.

Art Ludwig
Art Ludwig is the author of Water Storage and Create an Oasis with Greywater,
two books that can be found on most any permaculture designer’s bookshelf.
Art Ludwig is an ecological systems designer with 28 years full-time
experience in water, wastewater systems, energy, shelter and human powered
transport. His specialty is complex, integrated “systems of systems.” Art has
studied and worked in 22 different countries, consulted for the states of New
York and New Mexico on water reuse policy, and given dozens of lectures and
workshops.

He designed his own education in Ecological Systems Design, graduating from
UC Berkeley. At Berkeley, he developed the first cleaners specifically
designed to be biocompatible with plants and soil, and founded a successful
business to manufacture and distribute them.

Art currently lives with his family near Santa Barbara, surrounded by over 20
different kinds of fruit trees.
