Permaculture Design Course CD Released
    The Permaculture Design Course CD was released by Elfin Permaculture on 
Aug. 1. The CD incorporates the postings and assignments of our annual 
Permaculture Design Course Online, which begins its seventh cycle on Sept. 
15, 2002. It includes hundreds of weekly posts from the instructors, the full 
Permaculture Design Course Pamphlet series, TRIP directory of nearly 2000 
groups related to permaculture, sample designs and a number of articles and 
papers.  
    We offer the Permaculture Design Course CD in two versions, one for 
certificate students pregistered in the online course and one for online 
course monitors and self-study students. The CD will be free to certificate 
students and monitors in preregistered Cycle 7 of the course.  Anyone may buy 
the CD at the monitor fee, which we will hold at $100 until Cycle 7 starts on 
September 15.  On or after Oct. 15, the price of the CD will go up to $250.  
It will be included in the price of monitoring the course and in the price of 
the reading package for full students.

7th Annual Online Permaculture Design Course Begins Sept. 15
    There is still room for a few more students in the cycle 7 of Elfin 
Permaculture’s Permaculture Design Course Online.  The course runs six months 
and includes structured reading assignments in texts, four reports per 
student including a full permaculture design report, and discussion via 
email.  This year for the first time most of the weekly instructional posts 
will be provided on the new course CD, providing more flexibility for 
students who want to read ahead and freeing instructors’ time for more discus
sion and personal attention to students. Instructors include the course and 
CD designer, Dan Hemenway, Cynthia Baxter Hemenway, CNM, teaching the Design 
for Health module, and Willem Smuts providing depth to class discussions. Tim 
Packer, webmaster of the Barking Frogs Permaculture Center site, will again 
serve as the course “computer guy.” Willem will lead also discussions in 
Cycle 8 of the course beginning March 16. This will be the first time that 
Elfin Permaculture has given the course twice in one year. Maximum enrollment 
is 10 certificate students and 20 new students total.  There is always 
carryover of several students from the previous course cycle, also, at no 
additional tuition charge.  For details, download the course reading list, 
the course protocol, and the course assignment schedule from

Tuition Increase Delayed
    Tuition for the Elfin Permaculture Design Course Online will increase 
around Oct. 15.  This allows time for everyone who planned to take course 
cycle 7, beginning Sept. 15, to sign on at the old rates.  This will be the 
7th year without a tuition increase.
