We welcome a 12-day Permaculture class from experienced Permaculture
Design instructors Patricia Allison and Dick Pierce to our area. This is
a hands-on, part lecture, part outside trips, part outside speaker
experience that will change your life and your approach to
sustainability and green living forever.

Patricia Allison is a founder
of Earthaven Ecovillage in North Carolina and is coming from NC to teach
the first 7 days of class.

Dick Pierce is a Permaculture instructor
from Austin and will come up from Austin to teach the last 5 days of the
course.

These two have teamed up to bring a Permaculture Design
Certificate course to DFW over three long week-ends this fall. Oct 7-10,
Oct 21-24, Nov 4-7.

Price of this 12-day course is $675. A deposit of
$120 is due to hold your place in the class; the remainder is due the
first day of class.

Find out about an ecovillage starting outside of Rockwall that will
be off-grid with solar electricity, solar hot water, rainwater
harvesting, and graywater recycling--all designed to Permaculture
principles and practices. Zero energy homes will be built to your design
and size specifications. Grow all your own food organically and grow
additional produce to sell if you wish. In other words, live sustainably
in an intentional commuity. Everyone owns a home and crop area in
his/her/their own name. Other land (community buildings, pond, workshop,
barn, play areas, wooded area, etc.) is held in in the community's
name. This free talk will cover all aspects of the village via Power
Point and then allow ample time for your questions.
