Back to Rak Tamachat Permaculture
Project: Rak Tamachat Permaculture
Posted by Toni Robinson over 12 years ago
June 2012 Longterm Internship
Rak Tamachat, Panya Project’s sister site in
Korat, is now accepting
applications for interns.
Internships run for a minimum of 6 months and applications are now open for 3 interns per month.
Rak Tamachat is a 50 acre commercial corn/rice farm, strategically placed in the Korat Plateau of central, rural Thailand. We are a brand new Permaculture Project working towards implementing a diverse range of integrated permaculture systems to create an abundant, functioning, sustainable, regenerated and profitable system of agriculture and intentional community. We are surrounded by other similarly degraded agricultural land which continue to employ the conventional farming methods of chemical application and machinery. We are working towards influencing local farmers, by leading by example and integrating with the local community to create a replicable system.
Interns will develop a sound knowledge of permaculture systems and gain skills of practical permaculture implementation. Overall aim is to understand and communicate the elements involved in establishing a rural permaculture system.
Communication, teamwork, effective holistic goal creation, problem solving, initiative, planning and organising, self management, learning and many many more….
This internship is based around hands-on permacutlure implementation to build a solid foundation for understanding permaculture systems. We will have ongoing projects, sometimes with a lesson of theory, though you will be mostly learning the practical skills of implementation based on that project. It is a self-directed internship and you will have the opportunity to pursue your own projects of interest relating to achieving our Master Plan. We have a flexible, yet structured work day of 4 hours, 5 days a week, allowing time for theory, permacutlure implementation, own projects, reflection and self-development, design skills, farm maintenance, community integration projects and the brainstorm, co-creation and meeting co-ordination that is essential in community living.
Some of the areas of focus will include
If you are looking to experiment and practice hands-on skills of permaculture application and are interested in living, sharing and learning in a creative, enthusiastic permaculture community, this is the place for you! As this internship is flexible and self-directed with some theory, it would be best to have previous permaculture experience and preferably to have completed your Permaculture Design Course. We have no other requirements, just to come with energy, honesty, willingness to learn, communicate with an open-heart and share the abundance.
Our Internship costs 6500THB (approximately $206 US) per month, a total of 3900THB ( $1238 US) for 6 months, the first months installment is a non-refundable deposit. This full amount includes all costs of living such as food and accommodation and also permaculture experiences (any personal holidays and items, of course, is at your own expense). This fee is recoverable through our profit sharing program. The initial month must be paid a minimum of one month before your internship begins. If you cancel the Internship with at least a one month notice then the deposit will be refunded to you. The balance of your internship will be due after your first month on site.

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.
MemberA member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation. |

Permaculture MatchmakerOne of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile. |
|
PDCPeople who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world. |
|
PDC VerifiedPeople who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation. |
|
PRI PDCPeople who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world. |
|
PDC TeacherPeople who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world. |
|
PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
