5 Reasons You Should Take the Permaculture Women's Guild Online Permaculture Design Course

1. Extra emphasis on social and emotional permaculture

provides a one-of-a-kind education in advanced stewardship, community organizing, and using permaculture to elevate social, emotional, and cultural abundance. You still get top-notch expert instruction on landscape design, but with us you also earn an Advanced Permaculture certificate in Social Systems Design.

2. Go at your own pace, online format 

means you have time and privacy for your own, ongoing, hands-on experimentation, and you can take as long as you need to give what you're learning a chance to percolate in your mind. ​Plus you get lifetime access to all future iterations.  In-person courses simply can't offer that, and neither can they offer the size and breadth of community we do.

3. Our international faculty of 40 women

offers the unparalelled strength and wisdom of more than 400 years of combined, hands-on experience.

4. The tuition price 

​at 600-800, sliding scale, including 1:1 faculty mentorship, our course is one of the most affordable permaculture design courses on the planet. (Plus we offer #timesup discounts for survivors of abuse and women of color. Just ask.)

5. Nurture and support the Permaculture Women’s community.

Your tuition helps to fund scholarships, mentorships, the #freepermaculture project, and the Permaculture Women Writers program.
