This transformational class features leading designers & teachers from around the region to explore an ethically based whole-systems design approach that uses concepts, principles, and methods derived from ecosystems, nature-connected communities, and other time-tested systems to create human settlements and institutions.

Additionally, course participants work in teams throughout the program to design a holistic permaculture plan for a real-life site in the community. The hands-on learning, workshops, and readings throughout the course prepare students with knowledge and whole systems thinking strategies that allow them to create detailed and thoughtful designs.
