Introduction to Permaculture. Regenerative Low Carbon Living Weekend.
We are thrilled to share this empowering course in the beautiful Abbey Physic Community Garden, our East Kent Permaculture Learning Hub. Both days are stand alone or together form an introduction that follows the Permaculture Association Curriculum for the introduction to Permaculture. This is self responsibility in climate action while caring for ourselves, the planet and using resources well.We will harness the collective intelligence and emerge with a list of ideas, deep dive into exploring the principles of regenerative living for growing food regeneratively and for living well in uncertain times.
We seriously need to be doing something about theses uncertain times. Lets empower ourselves more and work out what we can do that feels good and contributes upscale. So we are empowered to live more resiliently and support those around us when we can.
In response to the Climate emergency and Mass extinction 6 how can we feel empowered? This is a
practocal series of worksops to help us confidenlty take postive action in our own lives tht we can ripple
out into our communities.
We will learn about Permaculture Principles, Ethics and Patterns. See how they can be applied to your life, land and work. It will include practical, hands on sessions, foraging and many other fun activities that all explore this inspirational and empowering design system. Learn nature inspired solutions
e will explore low carbon living and feel empowered to move towards this in a way we know will care for people, planet and use resources well. We plan to jhave guest experts and fingers crossed a Sunday site visit as well as being able to demonstrate many techniques on site.
