Rationale
The need to address the pressing environmental & sustainability issues has become
undeniably urgent today. Permaculture proposes a new perspective directed towards:
“Redesigning our way of life based on Nature,” leading to simple yet effective
solutions doable here and now today.
PLG2 Objectives
The Permaculture Learning group seeks to internalize a way of thinking and designing
that leads to a sustainable way of life, based on the principles from the natural world
derived by Bill Mollison & David Holmgren. The general goal of the group is to learn
how to re-design one’s way of life based on Nature, and in doing so advance toward
the establishment of localized eco-systems that are stable, productive and resilient.
The specific output of the learning group participants is to prepare a permaculture
inspired design solution for a specific personal project/s that may commence after the
8 module program, or be an update/upgrade of an ongoing project.
Qualified Participants
Only individuals who have proven interest & personal positive action in relation to
environmental and sustainability issues are allowed to join. Furthermore, only those
who genuinely seek to learn the permaculture mind & heart and approach may join the
learning group so as to avoid time that could be lost in theoretical & polemical
discussions. It is important that all who join the learning group have been through a
suitable permaculture orientation session.
