Since 2007. Adriana and me, Philippe, are restoring a 8ha farm completely isolated in a wooded valley in northern Romania: forests, pastures and orchards We have a rural touristic lodge with 20 beds and want to become an educational farm in permaculture, self-sufficient for the families who live there and for the visitors . We started to organize P.D.C., workshops of practical ecology and accommodate groups of meditation We have 7 donkeys and organize 5 days hiking trips
The hermitage of Malin is an 8ha farm located (
Project: Permaculture educational farm.
Ensure food and energy independence for families who will live there, residents and visitors and the surplus in direct selling self service

● since 2010 we are the first and the only one to organize, in collaboration with the Université populaire de permaculture of France, a P,D.C. Steve Read directed the first course. Nom Pascal Depienne has taken over.
● in March 2011 we started the monthly workshops of practice ecology. In 2012 the program: two Saturdays a month, bi-monthly workshop ecology practice: mandala garden, compost Jean Pain, solar cookers and fruit dryers, news of the garden, etc.● a nature camp with young people ● and 3 work sites : children play ground - a cob house of
Further we’d like to organize nature camp for the schools and to make the farm a place of experimentation in ecoconstruction and gardening (nursery, mushrooms, etc.) open to the public: guided walks or not, educational panels, activities with donkeys
3. Meditation place
Philippe has pronounced in 2005 his vows boddhisattva Zen in
We are currently a couple with a child born in 2008. But Philip is suffering from Parkinson's for several years. Because of the disease, we have to call outside help , For. 2 years ,WWOOF volunteers have come throughout the year to support us. But we seek to form a ecohameau / ecohamlet and therefore partners to share experience
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.

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. |
