This is an advanced, fully certified 14 day, 84 hour, intensive Permaculture Research Institute (PRI) verified PDC. This course is certified by registered PRI PDC Teacher, Theron Beaudreau of Eco-Pioneers.org.

A paradigm shifting, mind expanding experience you won’t want to miss, a Permaculture Design Certification (PDC) is the foundation for becoming a professionally paid permaculture designer, educator and/or consultant. Designed specifically to extend your edge, this special 14 day intensive will give you all the tools you will need to design a life of abundance. Participants have the opportunity to co-create designs for everything from the major city to deeply rural environments and learn about restorative strategies applicable to life anywhere on the planet.

Taught by Eco-Pioneers.org, Theron Beaudreau and John Bushe’, this 84 hour Premium Permaculture Design Course will be held on sacred grounds that Quanah Parker, the founder of the Native American Church, utilized as a hide out from troops and mercenaries. This land is nestled on the breaks of the Texas Plains and Red River Valley. About 45 minutes northwest of Denton, this burgeoning permaculture site is a 1200-acre space where we will discover new knowledge and skills in permaculture design as well as build our learning community together.

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING:

“This Permaculture Design Course was more than I could have asked for. Expectations surpassed. I hold more hope for our species now than ever before, while truly grasping the gravity of the situation. Thank you!” ~ Jonathan Horstmann, Co-Founder of Food is Free Project

 ”Activities were spectacular. The movement and energy was amazing throughout. Overall, I could not have asked for a better class and wonderful people to share it with!” ~ Adam Russell, Founder of Upcycle Organics

At the end of the course, you are invited to celebrate with other Conscious Minds at the first annual Tribal Revival gathering, which takes place on the final weekend of the course, coinciding with 2014′s Fall Equinox.

The course will cover every major topic in Bill Mollison’s “Permaculture: a Designers Manual” and will also be packed full of rich, practical examples of permaculture design through Theron and John’s direct experience learning from permaculture professionals, biologists and community organizers from around the world!  Separating this PDC from the rest will be a unique focus on applying Permaculture to business and economics.  We have created daily modules to accomodate any budget.  Come to a later PDC to compete your certification if you can make it for the entire two weeks.

This Permaculture Design Course runs over a jam packed two weeks from September 5th – September 20th (Graduation Ceremony, Potluck & Party!) To receive a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) issued by the Permaculture Research Institute, participants are required to attend all two weeks of exciting hands-on and classroom learning.  However, we are going to offer this PDC in 1 day modules, so if your schedule doesn’t allow you to attend the full two weeks or you can’t budget for the full price, you can still participate! During future PDC courses, you can then continue to accrue the courses you need to earn your design certificate.
