Permaculture is a whole design science that reflects natural patterning and 
promotes mutually beneficial relationships. The three main ethics -- Care 
of the Earth, Care of the People, and Return of the Surplus -- are adopted 
from indigenous peoples from around the world. The concepts and themes 
found in permaculture help us rediscover our responsibility and place in 
the natural world. This year the Solar Living Institute is excited to offer 
a variety of permaculture workshops including three five-day intensives 
throughout the seasons and an advanced course for practicing 
permaculturalists. Our talented teaching team is diverse and enthusiastic 
and will empower you with skills to be the change you wish to see in the world.

permaculture with an applied focus on ecological garden and farm 
management. These principles teach us how to design human systems that 
follow the natural patterns of the Earth. We will use a hands-on, holistic 
approach to maintaining cycles on the farm, such as soil building, 
enhancing water storage, planting out crops, animal relationships and much 
more. Learn to restore the Earth while providing food, energy and resource
