Learn the basics of Permaculture Design on this two-day Introduction to Permaculture and be ready to try it out in your garden, your workplace and your life.

6 weekends between April 25th and October 18th 2026 at Global Generation’s Story Garden in Central London.

The Permaculture Design Course is a 72-hour often life-changing experience, accredited by the UK Permaculture Association. Over the period of 6 weekends we will explore practical and creative solutions for building resilient communities and designing abundant eco-systems.

For this upcoming summer retreat ‘Engage & Connect’, we will be exploring the nature of our engagement and our intrinsic embodied connection to life. Through our actions in the world we create relationships and affirm our ecological belonging. We will cultivate presence to ourselves and meet the land and people from there. The venue in Tuscany gives us the opportunity to bring the embodied principles and practices into engagement with the land and the local people through volunteering activities in the community.

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.
