presents WINTER WEEKENDS PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE Alternate weekends January 18 - May 11 Entire Course: $900 (Couples rate: $1600 for two) -- $800 if signed up before 12/1 Single Class: $50 *SPECIAL* package (any 4 classes): $150 The Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute offers it's fifth PDC, a course recognized around the world which equips students with the knowledge and understanding of whole systems and the applications of design to create systems which are ecologically sound and economically viable. We teach with interactive and experiential learning and emphasize group process and dynamics as much as content. We offer a flexible schedule; take one or take them all, the choice is yours. Completion of all the course modules earns our participnants a certificate in permaculture design. As is with most education, the importance is not in the paper, but in the process. Graduates walk away with a better understanding of systems and how they can observe, design and work toward positive change in their environments. An in-depth look at the theories, best-practices, and methodologies combined with day-long study, collaboration and practice create an intense and inspirational learning event.
