I am really excited about the important Permaculture Education Work presented by Living Mandala. As you may realize, there are few things more important right now than re-establishing our connection to our land, our water, our food and one another. This Course I'm writing you about is designed to help us do just that.

This is the first Holistic Permaculture Design Certification Course with a focus on Ecovillage Design & Development at the magical abode of Big Bend Hot Springs!

If you are feeling the call to participate in this special course or know someone who may be, please get in touch with us soon. Please hep us spread the word about this amazing course."

PERMACULTURE & ECOVILLAGE CURRICULUM, WHOLE SYSTEM SUSTAINABILITY, INTEGRATIVE ECO-SOCIAL DESIGN, SOCIAL PERMACULTURE, COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE, INNER ECOLOGY, GROUP PROCESS, HANDS-ON ACTION LEARNING & MUCH MORE

With a focus on tending the inner, outer, and community landscapes... this course will include the standard 72-hour permaculture design curriculum based upon the original Mollison and Holmgren ideas and design philosophies published in The Permaculture Designer’s Manual, as well as be a nourishing retreat and hands-on immersion experience in Ecovillage Design & Development.

In addition to the standard Permaculture Design Certification curriculum, we recognize permaculture as a holistic design philosophy in symbiosis with many related fields. Accordingly, this permaculture design course will integrate additional content and activities such as ecovillage design & development, nature awareness, indigenous wisdom, holistic nutrition, embodiment practices, inner work, group process, and much more.

Big Bend Hot Springs is an extraordinary geothermal springs and place of natural beauty located in the small town of Big Bend, CA on the Pit river, midpoint between two majestic volcanos: Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen. Mount Shasta is believed by some to be one of the world’s most sacred mountains, and includes California’s largest watershed and some of the best quality water in the world. Big Bend is home to some of the most amazing geothermal activity on the west coast and enjoys incredible abundance of hot water, wildlife, and natural beauty.
