Ecoliteracy in Action
October 25 - November 22, 2009
Phone: (831) 667-3010
Room and board, afternoon classes included...
Transforming the way we live on the planet is
vital. To respond creatively and systemically to
Climate Change, Peak Oil and Economic Collapse we
need a whole new set of skills that enable us to
act effectively in our complex world. Fundamental
to this is the ability to understand ecosystems,
society and people in a holistic context which
mirrors the interdependence found in the natural
world.
If we are to live sustainably on the planet we
need a change in our relationship to nature and
the basis of how we study science, economics,
business and psychology. Systems thinking
requires thinking in terms of relationships,
connectedness, and context.
This month Kat Steele will support students to
explore what it means to embody the science of
Sustainability, art of Permaculture, and culture
and economics of Transition. With heart, soul and
love participants will explore the elements of an
ecological world view. They will learn key
concepts such as self-organization, emergence,
resilience, connectivity & adaptation. They will
also look at how these concepts can be applied in
areas such as ecological design, social activism,
energy and food production to support the
transition to an ecoliterate future.
Through conversation, exercises, outdoor
exploration, reflections and hands-on activities
we will learn together
An Introduction to Systems Thinking
Gaia Theory, Deep Ecology and Zone Zero
Global Socioeconomic Issues
Transition culture and the promise of Social Enterprise
Food, Land and Energy issues
Ecoeducation from Early Childhood to Lifelong Learning
Permaculture Design Process and Principles
Esalen Sustainability Initiatives
Ecovillage Design Approach
This course work is inspired by the work of
Fritof Capra of the Center for Ecoliteracy,
Joanna Macy of the Great Turning, David Holmgren
of the Permaculture Design Community and Rob
Hopkins of the Transition Movement.

Permaculture
April 11 - May 9, 2010
(Work Scholars who complete this program can apply to enroll in a
second month of permaculture training to be offered May 9-June 5, 2010)
The answers and solutions to some of the world's
most pressing questions in relation to the
environment, economics, and social systems are
explored during this month-long permaculture
design course that focuses on creating and
designing a culture that is regenerative in
nature. Together, scholars and teachers will
create an open learning environment that includes
discussion, activities, presentations, and
hands-on projects. By using Esalen's facilities,
gardens, and work environments as a microcosm of
the larger world, Benjamin Fahrer will facilitate
this powerful and transformative journey together
with a number of premier permaculture teachers.
Permaculture in essence is based in relationship
and responsibility and is a set of techniques and
principles for designing sustainable human
communities. The skills one gains during this
training include a base understanding of design
and development principles used in small- and
large-scale applications. Now more than ever we
have to empower ourselves with these skills in
these great times of transition.
Personal sustainability for a balanced life
Effective communication and interpersonal skills for strong relationships
Reading the land: identification and classification of land components
Earth stewardship: soil renovation, restoration, and composting
Hands-on intensive in "natural" buildings and earthen construction
Trees and their energy transactions
Water awareness: health and conservation
Participants will be empowered with the
confidence to live and function in a more just,
sacred, and sustainable future.
Work Scholars who complete this program can apply
to enroll in a second month of permaculture
training to be offered May 9-June 5, 2010. This
72-hour certification course in Permaculture
Design enables participants to become certified
through the TAGARI Permaculture Institute of
Australia. As a graduate of this program, you
will possess the skills to begin to design,
consult and teach Permaculture anywhere in the
world.
