We are delighted to offer an Advanced Permaculture Course in
Teaching, with Jude Hobbs and Tom Ward, this June at Wolf Gulch Farm.
With hundreds of graduates of the Permaculture Design Certificate
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 Tom's
Teacher Training courses get to the heart of Permaculture; focusing
on group process and the creation of versatile, expansive learning
environments. Students of this advanced level course have used these
new teaching tools and techniques in all kinds of settings, including
community development, activism, coalition building, school programs
and design courses.
Please share this with others who may be interested..Thanks!
