Hi all,

As a small island, the permaculture circles here are quite well connected.
Though (hopefully rapidly) the permaculture movements are ever-expanding and it'd be nice to have a way of highlighting all the happenings around the country.

We're currently reshaping our website and are working on a calendar for permaculture events - from workshops, courses, meet-ups etc.

If you're hosting anything or know of something on the horizon do send the details this way!
Or hopefully soon we'll have a link to put your own events into the calendar but for now it's watch this space...

Thanks,
Aaron (and the team at Cultivate)

This is the annual Permaculture Design Certificate course we hold each year in Cloughjordan Ecovillage - which itself was designed with permaculture and includes over 50 eco-homes, community woodlands, renewable energy production, community amphitheater, a wood-fired bakery, a digital fabrication lab (Fab Lab), research gardens and a community farm.

Each year we invite special guest tutors to share their expertise, and 2017 sees the return of Albert Bates, the founder of the Ecovillage Training Center at The Farm in Tennessee and past president of Global Ecovillage Network and Aranya, leading UK Permaculture teacher and designer and author of Permaculture Design: A Step-by-Step Guide. Aranya will be coming to us online; he hosted one of last years most popular, inspiring and interactive sessions on design.

Friday 11 - Sunday 20 August 2017 | Fees €550 | some concessions are available, €100 deposit secures your place
This course is full-time (and "full-on") from Friday evening (starting with dinner around 6pm) until the following Sunday afternoon (around 4pm)
For full details, photos from previous courses and booking form see www.cultivate.ie

We're always open to others looking to build their permaculture teaching experience so please feel free to get in touch if you're interested.
