Please post about any classes or workshops that are in regards to helping us learn how to create out community. This sounds like a great class. Does anyone want to go to the June 18- August 10 program?
Ecovillage and Permaculture Certificate Programs
Winter: November 30 - December 13, 2006 Summer: June 18 – August 10, 2007
Fall: 2007 (1month) TBA
In addition to a full permaculture design certificate course, this dynamic residential program provides a holistic introduction to social permaculture, ecovillage design and implementation. Most Universities offer students upper division credit, through program participation.
Subjects include:
Organic Agriculture: Understanding soil composition, watersheds, swales, water catchment, and conservation, biological control agents, native plant guilds, annual, biennial, and perennial cycles, and other natural rhythms, patterns and biological relationships.
Natural Building: Looking at international design and selecting appropriate models to suit a given climate, we work with cob, straw bale, earthships, living roofs, passive solar and other techniques.
Appropriate Technology and Renewable Energy: Designing to maximize efficiency through energy conservation and retention. We explore passive and active solar, micro-hydro, wind, bio-diesel, rainwater catchment, and grey water systems.
Eco forestry: Harvesting food, energy, and medicine, while restoring damaged forest lands and monocrop tree plantations to diverse and productive systems.
Site Analysis & Design: Working with raw, developed, and semi-developed land to create home, garden, and village infrastructures, in harmony with the surrounding environment. Overview of zoning, permits and land-use laws.
Social Permaculture: Learning through dynamic personal growth workshops, communication skills, consensus and other decision making processes.
Community Living: Exploring Ecovillage economics, employment, education, self-government, health and wellbeing, and many other aspects of day-to-day life in community.
