COURSE INSTRUCTORS:


Erik Hjermstad
Erik Hjermstad is an ecological designer and permaculture practitioner from San Diego. His longtime experience in media and manufacturing now serves his passion for regenerative agriculture here in southern California. He is the creator of Cobfest, a barn-raising turned micro-festival that now serves as a prototype for open-source gathering platforms to effectively regenerate the world around us while having healthy fun with our friends.

Erik understands that to solve the ecological challenges facing our culture, we must cultivate powerful social collaborations to effectively aggregate our human resources into regenerative solutions.


Ryan Rising
Ryan Rising is a community organizer and permaculture educator based out of the San Francisco Bay Area who most recently organized and facilitated the Permaculture Action Tour with music producer The Polish Ambassador in the fall of 2014. Ryan focuses on creating community access to land for local food growing and regenerative living – connecting people to take action and transition to a resilient way of life.

Ryan has taught numerous courses and workshops, including the Elemental Alchemy Permaculture Intensive before Symbiosis Gathering in 2013 and a month-long Gaia Education certified Eco-Village Design training this past winter in Nicaragua. A certified permaculture designer with a degree in Peace and Social Justice Studies, he also co-founded a regenerative, productive urban farm in the east bay and now organizes with the Omni Commons – a community organizing space and education center in Oakland, CA.

Ray Cirino
Ray Cirino is a natural builder and permaculture artisan who was awarded in 2012 with the City of Los Angeles Certificate of Commendation for his creative contributions and community organizations. Especially interested in the patterns of nature and architecture, he holds an architectural degree at Miami-Dade Architecture school and a diploma from the North American School of Natural Building.

Ray founded two Water Woman festivals based on permaculture techniques and sustainable art and has been studying and practicing permaculture for 15 years. His 20’ Water Woman sculpture was featured in Smithsonian Magazine in 1999. He continues as a top innovator in energy, agriculture, water, and shelter systems, turning the great challenges we now face as a species into opportunities for Ecological, Psychological, and Spiritual Sustainability.

Loren Luyendyk
Loren Luyendyk is a Certified Teacher of Permaculture, with over 15 years of practical experience in Permaculture Design, ecological farming, sustainability, and horticulture. He has a degree in Botany from UC Santa Barbara, and is a Certified Arborist and Master Gardener. He has experience with Keyline Design, Holistic Management, Natural Building, Biodynamic Farming, and The Soil Foodweb. His teaching has taken him across the globe, where he has spent extensive amounts of time sharing and learning with local cultures in the United States, Central America, New Zealand, and Australia.

He is the owner of Santa Barbara Organics (www.sborganics.com), a permaculture design and land management business through which he designs and installs permaculture systems for residential and farm lands. Loren, also started the Global Permaculture Design Group (www.globalpermaculture.com), and is the founder of the non-profit organization Surfers Without Borders (www.surferswithoutborders.org). Loren is inspired by nature, and works to regenerate the earth while providing for our needs and creating community.

Art Ludwig
Art Ludwig is the author of Water Storage and Create an Oasis with Greywater, two books that can be found on most any permaculture designer’s bookshelf. Art Ludwig is an ecological systems designer with 28 years full-time experience in water, wastewater systems, energy, shelter and human powered transport. His specialty is complex, integrated “systems of systems.” Art has studied and worked in 22 different countries, consulted for the states of New York and New Mexico on water reuse policy, and given dozens of lectures and workshops.

He designed his own education in Ecological Systems Design, graduating from UC Berkeley. At Berkeley, he developed the first cleaners specifically designed to be biocompatible with plants and soil, and founded a successful business to manufacture and distribute them.
