“I’ll admit that at first I felt the weight of cynicism dragging me down when I contemplated applying the utopian philosophy of permaculture to the hard-bitten, high-speed world of regeneration – as a Londoner, my primary concern.

The heart circle is an occasion for people to connect to themselves, others and the world by tapping into the deeper ecology that holds us all together. As a group we will create a space to contain our presence, stories, joys, vulnerabilities and insights.
The Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is a 72-hour internationally recognised training engaging head, heart and hands of participants to discover the principles and techniques of permaculture. We will explore the patterns of our predominant consumerist culture and compare them to the sustainable and regenerative patterns of the natural world. We will not only apply those patterns and principles to the example of ecosystems and the land but also communities and and our own embodied selves.
We are nature is a day workshop exploring the nature of our being through meditation, playful movement, guided dialogue and connecting to the more-than-human.
