PDC - Permaculture Design Course accredited by PRI of Australia, with Rhamis Kent & Giuseppe Tallarico as your teachers. A program designed personally by Bill Mollison, the co-founder of permaculture.

DESIGN YOUR LIFESTYLE BASED ON ABUNDANCE
A program designed personally by Bill Mollison, the co-founder of permaculture, the Permaculture Design Course (PDC) gives you both the vision and the practical tools you will need to realize your own piece of paradise, completely independent in terms of food and energy production. Based on the best project planning practices, the PDC teaches you how to imitate natural systems, produce abundant food and energy, design and build energy-efficient homes, collect
and use rainwater, create fertile soils, improve animal welfare and maximize their production and develop economic and legal systems that will create a society based on a new farming culture with a strong sense of solidarity.

MAKE YOUR VISION CLEAR
More than a course, the PDC is a profound experience, during which you will develop a clear vision of abundance and resilience, of viable local economies, of healthy ecosystems and thriving communities, where people work together to provide food, energy, shelter and water, and meet the needs of all, in a socially just and regenerative way. You will be helped through the learning process thanks to the experience of Rhamis Kent and Giuseppe Tallarico, who will encourage a continuous exchange of ideas, including evening screenings of thought-provoking films and documentaries.

DESIGN YOUR PERMACULTURE REALITY
During your time on the PDC, you will have the opportunity to design and plan for your own multifunctional business enterprise, through individual and group exercises, and under the close monitoring of the technical experts on hand. Bring your property’s documentation with you; computer files, maps, photographs and climate data, all that you will use to define and plan your project.

REGENERATE YOUR PROPERTY
Doing the PDC is an important opportunity to acquire the skills that you will need to regenerate your property and make it totally self-sufficient. Once you have a clear vision and a functional design on paper, you will be ready to take action. The creation of your "food paradise" can begin immediately: following a process of soil regeneration by those working it. Furthermore, you can join the international network of the World Permaculture Association.
