The Gathering – A Full Online Permaculture Design Course for Artists and Creatives
Online – Starts September 2025
A learning journey and community of practice for artists, creatives and cultural workers who want to slow down and explore how we can live well, now. This unique 72 hour course takes the classic Permaculture Design Course as a starting point, creating a learning community who will learn and deepen their permaculture design skills so that they can bring a truly regenerative focus to their work. This is the course for you if you would like to begin to explore and use regenerative permaculture design processes in your work and life. By the end of the course you will have created at least one fully implemented, or partially implemented design using regenerative tools, principles and frameworks.
