Kareen and Jesse are superb: as teachers, as organizers, as resources. Each has a deep and extensive practice in permaculture, including social permaculture and food forests. They crafted a sense of community and a highly responsive and supportive learning environment with great thoughtfulness and skill.
I found them highly competent and at the same time inclusive, with generous awareness and sharing of other practitioners’ expertise. Their knowledge of learning styles and inclusion of significant hands-on activities was vital.
The field trips and guest speakers they planned were some of my highlights, allowing us to witness first-hand several extensive permaculture projects across a wide spectrum: Holistic Land Management and livestock, working with land to capture water resources and sequester carbon, sustainable building, urban homesteading…. And Sage Mountain Center was one of our visits, as well as time with Chris. It will be a superb venue, I think!
I recommend Jesse and Kareen's Montana PDC with high praise and without reservation. AND with large applause!!!
