IPC course – introduction to permaculture + clay plaster workshop (postponed)

Practical and interactive course to help you see the natural cycles, understand permaculture principles and decide how to use them in everyday life.

This course is a standard and recognized “entry” to the permaculture education, and will enable you to continue with advanced courses anywhere in the world.

We always include some practical parts into the programme, so that students can learn in “hands-on” examples.

Please note: if you are interested to be invited to the CLAY PLASTER PART of this event, please contact the venue coordinator by email, and we will let you know the date later this year. THANKS for understanding, Helen helen.vodrazkova@gmail.com
