Introduction to Permaculture - Living Well

Living Well is a 2 day event to introduce you to the ethics and principles of Permaculture, designing systems to live well with nature... from headspace to home, from garden to out of the gate...

Together, we will explore how living well with the permaculture ethics and principles can make a positive impact on you, your local community and for the earth.

The program will cover:

permaculture ethics and principles
sensing place
ways to design and create a lifestyle, garden or project informed by Permaculture ethics and principles
demonstrations of practical ways to apply the permaculture principles for growing food for unit dwellers, share homes, yards and acreage.

The 2 day event is hosted by Lizzy Smith, Designer, permaculture educator and practitioner. Co-teaching with Sam Hawker of Garden Kitchen Witch*n with a decade of embodied permaculture experience.

The workshop will be held in a permaculture designed home, showing many different ways that you can bring permaculture to your home and ways of living.

Each day we will cover practical ways to integrate Permaculture into your life. You can see some examples at the venue and reflect on how you can do this too.
