NEXT SET OF 5 TUTORIAL SESSIONS START WED 26TH AUG 2026

by April SAMPSON-KELLY -

Hi everyone,

On Aug 26th we recommence our tutorial sessions for Permaculture Design students and graduates.

The first set started last year, talking about Patterns, Pattern language, cultural differences in communication, and how to communicate ideas. We looked at Memes, story telling, and getting to understand patterns in landscape and social groups.

Always, we aim to apply these ideas to our own spaces.

The last series looked at FLOW, both the psychological state where we are able to concentrate and grow, and the physical states of flow, including growth and how we can assist an environment to grow, to explore or to development.

The upcoming series will explore basics. We will explore permaculture principles, strategies and techniques.

Tutorial on Flow

Hello everyone, 

It is supposed to be winter here and the birds are still singing, the food forest is still green and only my kneecaps are cold.

Here is a tutorial I made for you so you can consider FLOW in your design.
