Permaculture Dōjō 2013

The Permaculture Dōjō is an intensive two-day, one night permaculture workshop which takes place at the P-Awa Farm in Hanazono, Chiba.  Seven Permaculture Dōjōs will take place in 2013, and each workshop will cover various topics related to permaculture design and applications.  Participants will get a solid introduction to permaculture design and theory and also get plenty of hands-on experience in many skills outlined below.  The course lectures on permaculture and workshop activities will build on past lectures and activities so participants are encouraged to try and attend all the workshops through the year.  Periodical participation is, of course, welcome!
