We are about to begin this powerful course next week. Next Tuesday may be the last chance to register. Check it out and think of others you'd like to share this work with - then pass it on!

Weaving the Village through Nature Connection and Permaculture Design
For 5 years, the Regenerative Design Institute (RDI) and 8-Shields Institute have successfully led an emergent course that weaves Permaculture, Nature Connection, Village Building, Community Leadership and much more. Together, they recognize that Regenerative Design and Nature Connection go hand-in-hand. To design a healthy, abundant life in harmony, we must have a profound connection tonature and gain knowledge in the way nature works.
For the first time ever, a weekend series is offered in Santa Cruz that weaves Nature Connection, a Permaculture Design Certificate Course, and Integrated Kids Programs - all centered around community celebration! And each week will include collaboration with Transition Santa Cruz to provide updates and opportunities for creating the Santa Cruz we want to live in!
Designing a regenerative culture depends on a harmonious relationship between nature and people, in which observation and thoughtful interaction provide the knowledge and inspiration necessary to be a resilient community. In this program we take the time to listen to the birds, follow the stories of the animals through their tracks and sign, use our hands to grow our food, learn about and practice the art of peacemaking in our interactions throughout and much, much more. Through the collaboration of the Getting Nature Connected Program and the 4 Seasons Permaculture Course, our intention is to provide participants with tools and experience to begin living in a mutually enhancing relationship with the Earth.
