Working with Medicinal Herbs

We associate woodlands, forests and other natural ecosystems with resilience, longevity and harmony, but often struggle to experience these in our own lives.

By exploring principles derived from nature, this programme will guide you step-by-step through a design cycle that can be used for a wide range of personal circumstances – relationships, health, wellbeing, leisure and work.

This is a special opportunity to gain hands on experience implementing Permaculture systems under the guidance of experienced and internationally active Permaculture Designer Rico Zook. For one month we will live as a community designing, implementing and learning about the many different regenerative systems that are part of a functioning and productive holistic farm ecosystem. This is an in depth experience of living and working on a developing permaculture farm in the beautiful Pyrenees north of Barcelona Spain.

Do you think differently about life and wonder why we waste so much stuff? Do you think about the future of the planet? Do you want to make changes, but are not sure how to start?
The Full Permaculture Design Course could be the springboard you need to explore your ideas. Meet like minded people and enjoy sharing experience and knowledge. Discover ways to live sustainably and achieve your dreams.
