In this dynamic and interactive course, you learn significant teaching techniques to communicate and apply Permaculture principles and strategies to a wide variety of audiences and educational settings. Our goal is to encourage and inspire your unique strengths and abilities by demonstrating diverse teaching modalities including effective use of lecture, storytelling, class discussions, interactive experiential activities, visual aids and hands-on skills.

As with a Permaculture Design Course, in this teacher training we offer practical solutions for sharing information, which is essential in these current times.We have had great success teaching, and are advocates for the Mollisonian Standard Permaculture Design Course curriculum. We also believe each course taught needs to speak directly to local conditions and the specific skills of the presenters’ team. Jude has taught this course almost thirty times and it is never the same way twice… As proactive educators we are constantly adjusting the way a workshop or course is presented…creating innovative experiences that address varied learning styles while moving from theory to practice. We appreciate the unique skills and experiences of those attending and cultivate networking for future connections and support.

Comunicación y Toma de decisiones Las Personas vivimos de manera colectiva lo queramos o no. Y cada sistema relacional colectivo tiene sus propios códigos. En un plano grupal es el momento del desafío, es el momento que el grupo tiene que definirse, tiene que elegir, tiene que posicionarse. Y en esta fase los debates grupales son de gran envergadura y aunque visto desde un punto planetario son muy pequeñitos la verdad es que a nivel cotidiano nos vemos tan implicadas que ponemos todo en esa discusión, no solo lo que pensamos sobre la situación en cuestión, sino, todo, ponemos la emoción, las creencias, lo imaginado, lo filosófico… En una palabra, nos ponemos como garantes de lo que decimos, obligamos al grupo a contemplar la totalidad que soy en cada discusión y esto es muy, pero que muy cansado y nada eficaz a la hora de diseñar un estrategia, unos objetivos, un marco referencial afinado con la vida para hacer acciones eficientes y obtener nuevos resultados. IV Curso de Primavera Es momento de comprender que como grupo social estamos aprendiendo de nuevo a vivir juntas. Y esto no siempre es evidente que lo sepamos hacer. Es el momento de ser colaboradoras y de ayudarnos las unas a las otras en este redescubrir la vida.

The River of Life Project was born within GEN to weave webs of kindness and trust for women’s empowerment, bringing sweet hope to places of harshness. The mission is for women to support each other and express our care and leadership through: Reaching out to women on all continents Exchanging best practice, educating and building capacity Strengthening our communities to become places of inspiration Celebrating our cultural heritage Working for healing and reconciliation Growing abundant gardens for food sovereignty Working with our natural resources to restore our ecosystems Building ethical businesses and fair trade networks A deep yearning has emerged for a space by woman for women to deepen the sharing and foster healing, restoration and inspiration. To meet this longing the GEN-Africa women leaders have put out a call for a 10-day ‘River of Life Retreat’ at Umphakatsi Ecovillage, on the banks of the Umphakatsi River from 28 March to 7 April 2015. It will empower the women to emerge invigorated and replenished in order to continue and strengthen their work. Women will share important skills and knowledge and will act as multipliers to bring this back to their communities.
