[Sdpg] Permaculture Teacher Training, Advanced Permaculture Design Seminar, and Basic Design Course

[Wesley Roe and Marjorie Lakin Erickson]

PERMACULTURE TEACHER TRAINING

The fourth Permaculture Teacher Training with myself, Christopher Peck, 
Penny Livingston, Brock Dolman and others is happening October 11-16, 2003 
in Oakland. The cost is $685.  We apply permaculture principles to the 
teaching of permaculture and have designed this course to model the 
permaculture design process.  We also use and provide to participants a 
copy of "A Permaculture Curriculum", our 200-page guide to effective 
permaculture teaching that features great exercises from dozens of 
permaculture teachers. The course is a great opportunity to have fun, hone 
your teaching skills and learn strategies for creating effective learning 
experiences that model permaculture's core principles.  We recommend it for 
people who are curious about becoming teachers as well as novice and 
experienced permaculture teachers, as we are broadening teaching methods 
beyond the lecture format.  Past graduates of this course have raved about 
this course (and I'm not just saying that to toot our own horn), so come 
discover your own potential as an educator and weave regenerative teaching 
methods into your permacultural fabric.

ADVANCED PERMACULTURE DESIGN: The Process and Structure of Pattern Application
September 28 - October 1, 2003

This seminar on the Big Island of Hawaii is a great opportunity for 
experienced permaculturists to explore ways to mainstream permaculture. 
Let's take the movement to a higher level! Engage with me and my mentor, 
Ben Haggard, co-founder of Permaculture Drylands Institute and Principal 
with Regenesis Group, the only permaculture development firm in the nation. 
Ben has come out of teaching retirement for this seminar, where we'll 
explore the design process in depth and look at decision-making processes, 
evaluation strategies, synergistic planning strategies, and building guilds 
with people.  The course is based on a lot of the development work 
Regenesis has done over the past seven years and Michael's work with 
teaching organizational development, sustainable economics, and the 
application of permaculture design to our personal and interpersonal lives. 
The course will take place at a fabulous 80-acre center, Kalani Honua 
Oceanside Retreat, within minutes of the active lava flow and incredible 
volcanic steam vents and heated saltwater pools.  Come and have the 
ultimate permaculture vacation in paradise!
