“The Sustainable Living Skills workshops are designed to help you become a more informed & effective agent of change. You will develop skills for resilience, survival & self-reliance, reduce your environmental footprint, help the planet & be the change you want to see- and empower others”
The term ‘Permaculture’ comes from a synthesis of the words permanent and agriculture. One popular and satisfying way that many people first get started is by growing their own food; whether it’s in a garden, on a balcony or in a community garden. It is a fantastic way to interact with the environment and really get a hands-on feel for how nature works. Even if you are not in gardening the ideas behind Permaculture can be applied by anyone interested in sustainability and creating a better society.
