What is Permaculture?

Consciously designed landscapes, and environment which mimic the patterns and relationships found in nature, and earth, to yielding an abundance of food, fiber, and energy for sustaining of local needs.

and as per google : permaculture is the development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient.

Permaculture is a design philosophy, and It is a way of relating to nature and each other where we can thrive and regenerate life within and around us through the conscious practice of integrity and collaboration and community.

We will be applying and practicing and expanding on this through the 12 design principles of permaculture:

1- Observe and interact

2- Catch and Store Energy

3- Obtain a yield

4- Apply self regulation and accept feedback

5- Use and value renewable resources and services

6- Produce no waste

7- Design from pattern to details

8- Integrate rather than segregate

9- Use small and slow solutions

10- Use and value diversity

11- Use edges and value the marginal

12- Creatively use and respond to change 

WHAT TO EXPECT? 
We will study together and explore curiously through workshops how the ethics and design principles. relate to each other and how THIS PHILOSOPHY AND DESIGN PRINCIPLES  can be used in a design process that related to our climate and nature in the Middle East and Kuwait

WARNING: This course will expand your consciousness by allowing you to access the truth that connects you with living life pulsating seen and unseen and allowing you to design your personal calendar that can help you maintain this balance and access your inner wisdom sourced from a reliable source within you.
