EMPOWERING EDUCATION

WE KNOW PEOPLE LEARN BY DOING
We know that the ability to take steps towards a sustainable and regenerative self and society takes more than knowledge about sustainability - it requires literacy. We define sustainability literacy to include the skills, attitudes, mentalities and values necessary to thrive in, and regenerate, the challanging conditions of the social, economic and natural environments of our times. Our education, both on-line and in-person, provides that literacy, thorugh interactive, group oriented and practical aproaches to teaching and training. Our workshops, courses and training focus on Permaculture, Ecology, Leadership, Personal Growth and Organizational Change for individuals, communities and organizations. |
