The permaculture framework allows for many people to learn about the ways of working with nature to align with its cycles. One of the reasons the permaculture movement has spread is because of its the Permaculture Design Course (PDC). Thousands of students go through these courses that happen around the world each year. The Permaculture Design Course happens either as a three week intensive, where students come to live and stay on a piece of land, or it is spread out over a longer many weekends, with students commuting in. In the course students learn about soil, water, growing food, forests, ecology, natural housing, and building community.
Hi Alpha! What you are describing seems to be similar to the already existing permaculture design Diploma? I'm currently a student on Looby Macnamara's Group Diploma Adventure, where we are supported with group calls etc, and through the Permaculture Association's library of designs and courses.
Your article has just encouraged me to find a water project to do a design on, as this would be a great way for me to get to grips with the whole topic.
Hi Alpha! Many folks trained by Steve Jones who commented here as well as Roland Van Reenen who I just wrote about today on Rainmakers and Changemakers are perfect allies for what you suggest. Is your Sunday event on Zoom? Is the attendance capacity limited? I know some people who would like to participate.

I hadnt heard of the Permaculture Diploma, but it sounds like a pretty good process. Yes and similar to what I am thinking.

Roland sounds like a guy who might be interested in this project. Thanks for the idea...
