In this intensive course, David Holmgren, co-originator of the Permaculture
concept (with Bill Mollison in 1970's) provides an insight into
permaculture as a set of design principles for reshaping how we manage
land, our lives and our livelihoods in an world of energy descent. Using a
combination of free flowing lectures, visual presentations, case studies of
his own work, structured group discussions, observation and design
exercises, David Holmgren breathes life into the design principles which
link the diversity of permaculture solutions. This 3 day format allows
participants to gain experience in using the design principles in a small
group site design exercise. For PDC graduates wanting to expand and
redesign their permaculture toolkit for new conditions and challenges, this
course provides an update on the ongoing evolution of these permaculture
principles and their applications.

DAVID HOLMGREN is best known as the co-originator with Bill Mollison of the
permaculture concept following the publication of "Permaculture One" in
1978. Since then he has written several more books, developed three
properties using permaculture principles, conducted workshops and courses
in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Japan and North America. Within the
growing and international permaculture movement, David is respected for his
commitment to presenting permaculture ideas through practical projects and
teaching by personal example. He shows by example that a sustainable
lifestyle is a realistic, attractive and powerful alternative to dependant
consumerism. As well as constant involvement in the practical side of
permaculture, David is passionate about the philosophical and conceptual
foundations for sustainability, which are highlighted in his latest book,
Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. With this book
already on its third print run, and his increasingly prominent profile as a
public speaker, David provides leadership with his refreshing and
unorthodox approach to the environmental issues of our time.
David Holmgren lives with his partner Su Dennett and their son Oliver at
“Melliodora”, a one hectare permaculture demonstration site at Hepburn
Springs, Central Victoria, Australia


There is still a couple of places available for this workshop starting on
October 26th.
