Just wanted to let you all know about an exciting course we have pulled together in Haiti following the International Convergence. The focus will be on design techniques for the harshest of environments where earth repair is really needed.
Advanced
Permaculture Design Course in Wasteland Regeneration ~ Re-establishing Abundant and Resilient Ecosystems on Barren, Neglected, and Abused lands.
Location: Anse-a-Pitre, Haiti Dates: December 6-10, 2013
Site: Sadhana Forest, Anse-a-Pitre, Haiti, www.sadhanaforesthaiti.org
Getting Here: We suggest flying to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic and then a bus ride to Pedernales. From there Sadhana Forest Haiti will come pick you up.
Number of Participants: Limited to 20
Learning Environment: In Sadhana Forest Haiti they practice an eco-friendly way of life including veganism,
solar energy, dry composting toilets, and different
Permaculture techniques. This is an ideal setting to
experience Permaculture unfolding on a new site so we are very happy they have opened their site to us!
Cost: $750 USD. Includes three vegan meals a day, camping and basic accommodations, and instruction.
