PERMACULTURE - TREFLACH TWO

!! UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY - BOOK NOW !!
We are back at Treflach, Farm in Transition, for a second two-week Permaculture Design Course running from May 8th to 21st, 2011. Our first course there was inspirational, empowering and lots of fun for all, see earlier post: October 2010, Treflach.
Farmer Ian Steele is already grappling with the issues that will force change on us all. As he said himself, "Peak Oil has already happened for us, every time I hear a tractor start up my heart sinks because I know we can't afford the diesel". Ian has already started to implement some of the ideas the course participants came up with on the October course. This is a unique opportunity to study many urgent issues: Transition/Energy Descent, Peak Oil, Food Security, Community Land Access amongst many others.
Permaculture gives us a framework for observing and working with natural patterns and processes. From there we can design and build truly sustainable systems for all aspects of our lives.
The course will mainly be taught by Steve Jones who takes endless trouble to work with all participants' interests and backgrounds. Guest sessions will be given by others including Chris Dixon who has had many fascinating insights through his own work at Tir Penrhos Isaf.
I hope to be doing a presentation on design, Tai Chi and Chi Kung in the mornings and just helping the show along generally.
