If you've been wanting to learn more about permaculture...and would
like to learn more about Hawaii's own traditional farming, this might
be the opportunity for you.
During this 2-week permaculture design certification course on Maui,
you will walk in the footsteps of the Mahi 'ai, the native farmers.
Learn about the world of permaculture and the culture of the Hawaiian
Islands. Observe the principles that make ecological systems self-
sustaining - within a Hawaiian native cultural lens that offers a view
into a more ancient relationship with our environment. In addition to
the foundations of permaculture, the course will include a special
focus on traditional environmental knowledge (TEK), Hawaiian culture,
and agricultural systems with Rev. M. Kalani Souza.
