Are you interested in becoming a permaculture designer as part of the way you make your living in the world? Do you need ~design experience~ so that you can move toward teaching permaculture design? Are you interested in becoming part of a Permaculture "Community of Practice?" Are you ready to take your permaculture credentials to the next level, build your portfolio and gain confidence with your design skills?
For this course we are pleased to partner with our host site, Hawthorn Youth and Community Center in Roxbury, MA (a neighborhood of Boston for those coming in from out of town). Hawthorne Youth and Community Center is a grassroots, non-profit that has been responsive to community needs for over forty years. Read more about HYCC here! (http://www.hyc.center/new-page-2/)
Consider joining us this coming fall and winter for The Resilience's Hub's highly-regarded Advanced Permaculture Design Certificate Course. Over the course of two long weekends (one in November and one in February), three electives, independent/mentored design work and a Presentation Day (in March 2017) you will deepen and broaden your design skills, your design business skills and - if desired - your teaching skills.
Space is limited. RSVP with $250 deposit to hold your spot.
Each student will independently complete a full professional design project, from start to finish, during this course and present to the group and "client" in March. Students can choose any residential or small business site for their design project as long as it is not owned by the student or family members. This course will result in a comprehensive hand-drawn design package (including overlays and detail drawings) and an accompanying design report with full design narrative, phasing, plant lists and supporting data.
Course Dates: November 18, 19 & 20 || February 10, 11 & 12 || Presentations March 11 & 12 and Graduation on evening of May 5, 2017.
Class days run from 9am to 5pm each day, plus there will be some films/guest speakers on the Friday & Saturday evenings of long weekends. Three additional one-day "electives" will be attended by each student as well (see below) between February and June (most will be held on Thursdays or Fridays). Local homestays can be arranged for those traveling to this course.
