72h Permaculture Design Course
Essertfallon eco-community,
6 - 18 August 2016
Jura - Switzerland
This was our first 72 hours Permaculture Design Course!
If you dream alone, it's just a dream. If you dream together it's reality.
(Brazilian folk song)
We explored together:
• Permaculture definitions, ethics, principles, concepts
• Methods of design
• Natural patterns, their meaning and how to tune into them
• How climatic factors and landscape profiles inform our designs
• Harmonious ways to manage water in the landscape
• Role of vegetation in the restoration of ecosystems
• Placement and construction of infrastructures
• Soils as living systems
• Regenerative earthworks from hand dug to big machinery
• Bioregionalism and localization of resources
• Greening urban landscapes and deserts
• Community living and project management
• Design! Design! Design!
