Dear Friends,
We are excited to be offering an upcoming weekend intensive on Aquaponics with Applied Permaculture at the Venture Greenhouse in San Rafael, CA - with permaculture designer and Aquaponics systems specialist - Max Meyers.
Aquaponics is one of the most sustainable and productive farming systems in the world. Combining Permaculture Design with Aquaponics creates a more closed-loop system that is even more sustainable, dynamic, productive & regenerative.
In this weekend intensive you will learn the basic system designs of some of the most cutting-edge and pioneering aquaponics systems in the world, gain a foundation from which to begin your own aquaponics system, and learn some business skills at the same.
Wether you are a beginner, a backyard hobbyist, a homesteader, or a skilled professional wanting to grow more food sustainably and for less work, Aquaponics has something to offer.
Hope to see you there. More info below.
Towards Resiliency,
-The Living Mandala Team

Course Description
Aquaponics is one of the most sustainable and productive farming systems in the world. It combines Aquaculture and Hydroponics to create a more self-sufficient ,closed-loop system that uses only a fraction of the water, labor, energy, etc. that other methods use. Combining Permaculture Design with Aquaponics creates a more closed-loop system that is even more sustainable, dynamic, productive & regenerative. In this Aquaponics with Applied Permaculture weekend intensive, you will learn the basic system designs of some of the most cutting-edge and pioneering aquaponics systems in the world, and gain a foundation from which to begin your own aquaponics system. This course is a great place to gain valuable understanding of permaculture based Aquaponics systems, and learn some business skills at the same time.
Course Includes
This Aquaponics with Applied Permaculture weekend intensive includes: a detailed exploration into aquaponics; system designs from all over the world; its design, functions, adaptability, uses, variations and improvements; and over 30 pages of course materials. We will touch on basic formulas, calculations, estimates, guidelines, business models, permaculture design integration, and more. This course is intended to give you an in depth introduction to creating integrated regenerative aquaponics systems.
