Advanced Permaculture Design with Ben Haggard and Michael Kramer

Deepening the Process of Pattern Application



Date: September 28(eve) - Oct 1, 2003

Location: Kalani Honua Oceanside Retreat, Big Island, Hawaii



Description: Permaculture homesteads and intentional communities are 
becoming more commonplace in the United States, but how do we broaden 
permaculture's acceptance in American society?  This design seminar, 
intended for experienced practitioners of permaculture, examines the design 
process in depth in order to identify the most highly-leveraged patterns 
and structures for implementing permaculture.  Topics include: patterning 
in project development, decision-making processes, building guilds with 
people, synergistic planning strategies, and the use of evaluation in 
design. It is based on the Ben's seven-year history with Regenesis Group, 
the first permaculture-based full service development firm in the United 
States, and Michael's application of permaculture design to education, 
economics, organizational development, and the personal realm.



Cost: $600 (campsite), $650 and up (w/lodging), all meals included. $400 
for commuters. (meals extra).

Instructors: Ben Haggard (co-founder, Permaculture Drylands Institute), 
Michael Kramer (former Executive Director, Permaculture Drylands Institute)
