Our Educational Philosophy

Our Educational Philosophy

The Permaculture Project LLC believes strongly that life and learning are inseparable. Experience and study provide us with the knowledge to answer fundamental questions. This enables us to live a full and functional life in a changing world. The journey demands constant observation, evaluation, discrimination and introspection. The Permaculture Project LLC teaches and facilitates the learning of skills that encourage and inspire learning throughout life.

Everything in nature, including human beings, grows and develops in stages. The teaching and learning process must remain sensitive to these many stages by shaping lessons and activities that promote and develop skills and traits according to time, place and person in the natural order of growth. The art of Permaculture is a design science that integrates the learning of all traditions and cultures, their life and folkways, and the many forms that appropriate technology takes through the diverse intertwining web that is all life.
