Social Permaculture - Design Adventure
Learn how to use the Design Web to create designs for all aspects of your life. The Design Web is a holistic, organic and dynamic design framework. It is part of the Cultural Emergence toolkit. It is rooted in permaculture design, empowerment and nature connection. Looby created the Design Web in 2012 when writing People & Permaculture, and it has been used by thousands of people around the world. This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from Looby in Iceland. Each person will be working directly on a design for themselves in an embodied, experiential and creative way over the weekend.
Permaculture is not only about growing food, but also about how we as people interact with ourselves, each other and the social world! This weekend course touches exactly that: social permaculture. It is for anyone who wants to rise to the challenge of collectively reweaving our cultures to be life-affirming and regenerative.
