"We are either going to have a future where women lead the way to make peace with the Earth, ​or we are not going to have a future at all.”

Training

We offer a series of free online permaculture courses, a 72-hour design certificate course, and advanced training in social systems design as part of our double-certificate course, featuring 40 female teachers from around the world.

Resources

We curate, create, and collect a myriad of resources, by and for women, to help you learn how to design your home ecosystem, grow your own organic food, and network with your local community to build a peaceful abundance, together.​

Research

One of the most important parts of the permaculture triad is the 3rd ethic: paying it forward.
We help facilitate this by publishing an online magazine and offering scholarships to women who want to write about permaculture.
