Permaculture courses and workshops at Baħrija ‘oasis’

Two introductory permaculture courses will be held from May 6 to 8 and August 19 to 21 at the Baħrija Oasis Malta (www.bahrijaoasis.blogspot.com).

Participants will camp together and experience community life in a rural permaculture set-up, while learning about permaculture design.

Permaculture is a design philosophy and the art and science of creating community eco-systems – whereby plants, animals, human beings, and all forms of ecological diversity interact to produce a prolific, ecologically-sound, and regenerative system that can support itself and life indefinitely.

The focus of permaculture is to design and establish societal systems that provide for humanity’s material and non-material needs, such as food, water, shelter, energy, and health in a way that is symbiotic and synergistic with Earth’s natural balanced ecosystems.

Permaculture incorporates an increasing range of fields and skill sets and is being applied in areas such as business, economics, group process, social systems, self-development and spiritual practice.

Participants will also be able to interact and get involved in parts of existing ongoing projects.
