Permaculture Design Certificate Course April 2019


  • Gaia Ashram Thailand (map)

Gaia Ashram together with NextGENOA and flowful will hold a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) Course starting March 31 till April 18. This PDC course is guided by Bill Mollison’s 72-hour curriculum and David Holmgren’s 7 domains of permaculture action. This 17-days course is well-balanced between theory and hands-on; ensuring that knowledge and experience can turn into wisdom. In a community-based setting, we will combine theory sessions and real-life experiences with a good portion of hands-on work.

Why are we organizing a PDC?

The PDC will take place at Gaia Ashram, a intentional community in the Northeast of Thailand that is practicing holistic sustainable living for over 5 years. In March 2019, Gaia Ashram will host the Gaia Calling or NextGENOA Gathering (18-26 March) as well as the Thai Permaculture Convergence (28 -31 March). To connect the NextGENOA movement and the growing permaculture community in the region, Gaia Ashram together with NextGENOA and www.flowful.org will hold a Permaculture Design Certificate Course right after the Thai Permaculture Convergence.

Facilitator team

For this PDC we created a diverse group of facilitators from different countries, gender, and ages to embrace the diversity in permaculture. The three hosting facilitators gained experience in urban, rural, landbased and social permaculture in different parts of the world and started their permaculture journey for different reasons. Now they all live as residents at Gaia Ashram. Being part of the Gaia community and implementing different permaculture projects will open great ways of showcasing the magic of permaculture everywhere on the land.
