"Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple." — Bill Mollison
Permaculture is not just about growing food—it's a whole systems approach to life. It invites us to reconnect with the natural rhythms of the Earth and reimagine our role as caretakers of thriving ecosystems. 🌱
Across the globe, ecovillages are putting permaculture principles into practice, redesigning landscapes and communities for greater resilience, abundance, and harmony with nature.
🌍 Discover how these principles come to life at the Findhorn Community!
Join permaculture experts Lusi Alderslowe and Maria Cooper for an inspiring webinar exploring how permaculture is applied within ecovillages and intentional communities. You'll learn how simple, practical solutions can regenerate both land and society.
This webinar is also a perfect introduction to the upcoming Permaculture Design Certificate Course (PDC) at Ecovillage Findhorn (July 28–August 10, 2025)—a two-week immersion where you'll dive deep into the concepts, principles, and ethics of permaculture while living and learning in one of the world's most iconic ecovillages.
🌿 Start your journey toward a regenerative future. Join us and be part of the change!
