Join us in one of the five-day long retreats with internationally-acclaimed instructors of permaculture to polish off your own teaching skills, methods and approaches.

This retreat is for those of you who aspire to teach the permaculture certificate course, in parts or in whole. This retreat is designed to increase your effectiveness as a teacher of permaculture.  The pedagogy of permaculture has made it such an effective and life-altering experience and we would like to share that pedagogy with you.  This training is designed for both the experienced and inexperienced teachers. Teacher Training is now required for all permaculture certificate holders who wish to teach permaculture and/or who are working on their Permaculture Diploma in Education.

This retreat includes student teaching, class exercises, handouts, and critiques. 
Come prepared to teach random sections of the Permaculture Design Certification Course and also your favorite section. 
Also come prepared to laugh and have fun in a supportive and inspiring setting!
