Belentepe Permaculture Farm

Join us at Gaia Ashram for this 18 days Permaculture Design Certificate Course (PDC in short) from the 3rd of October until the 20th of October, 2022.The Permaculture Design Course equips you with the knowledge and an understanding on how to design sustainable living systems for a wide variety of landscapes and climates.This PDC at Gaia Ashram will give you the Permaculture theory and the hands-on skills & experience. Gaia Ashram is an Ecovillage & Permaculture Education center established in 2012 on 6 hectares of land that we are actively regenerating in the North East of Thailand. Gaia Ashram design is based on Permaculture & Ecovillage principles therefore by joining our community you will also learn about community living. We strongly believe that there never was a bigger need for spreading knowledge of Permaculture and related sustainable living practices. Especially now after the COVID-19 pandemic and increased climatic changes. In these times people’s empowerment and community experience is the right response to change. The PDC has a team of experienced facilitators that will cover the PDC 72 hours curriculum. Usually a PDC takes 12-14 days to complete but at Gaia Ashram we belief in the importance of experiencing the knowledge. This is why we made the course 18 days to allow for time to incorporate hands-on activities to make sure you experience the knowledge through the hands. Here are just a few things you’ll learn: • Philosophies, ethics, and principles of permaculture • Patterns in nature • Methods of design; how to apply permaculture design tools and methodology • Climatic factors and strategies for all major climates and how to work with them • Trees, forests, and forest gardening • Agroforestry and propagation • Gardening techniques for self-sufficiency, plant guilds • Water management • Properties of soil • Natural building techniques • Urban permaculture strategies and approaches • Community liv

We’re excited to offer you a transformative experience during our Ecovillage Lifestyle Experiential Week at Gaia Ashram. Throughout the week, you’ll get to immerse yourself in the inspiring ecovillage lifestyle, learning and growing through daily yoga and meditation, fun activities, and theoretical sessions on Ecovillage Design Education by Gaia Education. Every afternoon we offer practical permaculture hands-on session where you will learn about natural building, gardening and more. This whole systems design approach encompasses social, cultural, ecological, and economic regeneration – and we think you’ll find it fascinating. At its core, an Ecovillage Lifestyle is all about holistic living and drawing from the wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and experiences from ecovillages around the world. We’re passionate about making learning a multi-sensory experience that engages your mind, heart, and hands. That’s why our Experiential Ecovillage Lifestyle Week is a blend of theory, hands-on learning, and deep conversations.
