Midwest Permaculture - Monthly Design Charrette

Hello fellow Permies:

Would you happen to be interested in an over-the-shoulder webinar where you can learn the tools and thought processes associated with a site design?

If so, Midwest Permaculture (MWP) hosts a monthly, virtual "charrette" when/where they discuss/design the property.

I immersed myself in their mini PDC in my early days of/upon crossing paths with permaculture, and they have been one of the critical influences, along with the Permies experience!

Some bulletpoints:
-Hosted by Bill Wilson of Midwest Permaculture (MWP)
*Bill nominated as a permaculture leader by Paul in this thread
https://permies.com/t/163164/top-people-permaculture#1278697
-Frequency: Once a month (2nd Sunday)
-What:
  (1) Design in person on a real property (submitted/requested prior to event)
  (2) Open Q&A with Bill and Team
  (3) Mini "Workshop of the Month"

This may or may not be for everyone depending on where you are in your journey, but I wanted to extend/share this with whom may be a good fit.

With much gratitude to the Permies community, and my best wishes!

A quick "bump" of this thread, along with an update to the frequency of this activity.

These charrettes are now hosted on the Second Sunday of Every Other Month vs. monthly.

This is to balance all of the "prep work" (consulting with client, collecting site data, etc.) to keep the live session flowing and productive, while juggling all of their other projects.

Next session is February 24th, 2024.

Midwest Permaulture states:
"Join us online from 2-4:30pm for our next design charrette. We only offer this every-other month. We'll take the majority of the charrette to brainstorm a design for one of our students 3/4-acre suburban homestead. It is a relatively clean slate, so we'll have more leeway with our design options. Should be a great learning experience for us all."
