Dear Friends,
We are in a time of great change. It is more important than ever that we grow our own food, make connections, create community and visualize a new Design for Earth. Take time to laugh, learn and have fun. Consider gathering what you need to be as self sufficient as possible. Create an affinity group of like-minded people to work together to create a sustainable future for yourself, your family, neighborhood and community. There has never been a better time to take a Permaculture Design Course to get you up to speed. Our students tell us these classes give them the confidence to make practical positive changes in their lives and give them great hope in a changing world to take care of themselves, their loved ones and their community. We promise you…you will be really inspired!!! Click here Workshops & Classes.

Testimonials
“I did it! I graduated from the Permaculture Design Course!
A huge thank you to instructor Cathe’ Fish for investing her heart in this class and sharing her wisdom. Never a dull moment, this course was jam packed with material and hands on experience, and takes place on a living, breathing permaculture farm complete with food forest. Cathe’ is a high energy, motivational teacher who goes above and beyond simply teaching agricultural systems, to bring us social design principles applicable to every aspect of life. These are principles I will use every single day for the rest of my life, as they have become part of my mindset.”
“Thank you. This course gave me hope, which I badly need.”
“It’s like someone turned on a light bulb. I couldn’t stop talking about the course. It was amazing! An excellent blend of facts, general info, details, concepts. It was the shot in the arm/kick in the pants I needed, and so many wonderful people to work with. I look forward so much to what will emerge from these seeds that were planted.” ~ M.McNeal, San Francisco
“Great experience! Non stop and high energy. All the info I hoped for and so much more. Very well organized and held my attention at all times. Very thorough coverage of the many connected aspects of Permaculture and our place in the big picture — local and global. I am infinitely more optimistic about the future.”
~ HG, architect Port Angeles, WA

“Excellent course! It is so useful to have this abundance of information synthesized by someone so knowledgeable. It has given me a starting point to tackling something that has seemed so overwhelming.”
“Terrific course. 12 out of 10.”
” Incredibly inspiring and informational. It was a ton of great information and very inspirational. The hands-on element really made it all come together. I’m excited to do more and be better prepared for the future — and more connected with others in the community,”
“I learned so many new things, such exciting and practical ideas for recovery of the old ways for a healthier earth and healthier people.”
“I enjoyed your course so much. It was such a nice combo of down home sustainable living ideas, and practical gardening tips, and so warm and wonderful with the addition of the ideas around nutrient dense food and fermentation…and your personality. Very hopeful feeling, that this can still be done in our days, and how crucial it is, and that we can spread it more and more.”
“From Permaculture Founder Bill Mollison: “This course has already changed a lot of the world. Come help us change the rest.”
