Permaculture Design Course - A Quinta da Lage : 14th - 30th March 2026

What to expect:

This PDC promises to be a unique experience; we teach based on our real-life journey with Permaculture, drawing on over 10 years of experience across various climates. It will be full of energy and excitement, knowledge and skills, connections and community. We will cover the 72 hours of coursework required to receive a Permaculture Design Certificate over the two weeks. We will teach all sessions in ways that accommodate all learning styles, combining lectures, group discussions, visual demonstrations, hands-on participatory learning, and other creative permaculture teaching methods.

We will immerse ourselves in the community life of A Quinta. Seeing firsthand how regenerative agriculture, integrated permaculture systems and holistic design are applied and maintained. Additionally, we give space and emphasis to connecting with the self (zone 00) in personal development and self-empowerment, providing participants with life-changing tools for the future.

Beyond the permaculture course and the certification, we aim to provide a space for participants to feel free to explore, experiment, be themselves, and share and connect differently with their environment and others.

You will learn so much during this course and explore many new things, and we ask that you come with an openness to learn and a willingness to try.
