Permaculture for International Sustainable Development & Social Entrepreneurship

[Living Mandala]

Dear Friends,

Climate change, flooding, droughts, natural disasters, food shortages, clean water, poverty, social justice…there are many pressing problems facing humanity across the globe that effect us all.

Often times the people suffering the most from these challenges are in the less industrialized or developing world, and the international aid, support, and programs provided barely makes its way to addressing these problems in a real way.

Come learn how permaculture can help transform the paradigm of International Sustainable Development and provide tangible solutions in different climates and cultures around the world with veteran Permaculture teacher and international design consultant Warren Brush. Warren has worked extensively in Permaculture education and sustainable systems design in North America, Africa, Middle East, Europe, Australia, and more.

During this weekend workshop we will look deeply at Permaculture applied in varies environments and situations around the world, from a diversity of climates and ecologies to a diversity of cultures, with a particular focus on strategies for the developing world. We will also look at strategies for social entrepreneurship to empower regenerative enterprise and locally lead solutions.
