Testimonials

“This was the most transformational educational experience of my life,” student from the 2015 Women and Permaculture Teachers Training

“The F.E.A.S.T. Permaculture Design Course was an incredible experience. We see with new eyes now that we have ‘permaculture goggles’ on. The course shared new skills and the opportunity to work on a permaculture design for clients with us, all backed by a comprehensive understanding of permaculture developed through lectures, discussion, hands-on workshops, writing, and play,” Jessica Muise
