The Wild Plant Permaculture Class is 3 day intensive with hands-on instruction focusing on an integration of permaculture, wild edible and medicinal plants and holistic health as part of the daily practices. These practices assist in the alignment of harmony between our internal landscape and our external environment. This class highlights the wild wisdom of weeds as some of the best permaculture teacher examples. This class will visit several sites including: Turtle Lake Refuge Cafe to witness the power of health rooted in community, a food forest community garden close to Durango, Colorado at 7,000' elevation, and a mountainous hut in the La Plata Mountains at elevations of 8-9,000' where we will be staying both nights.

We will begin with reviewing the permaculture basics, and then dive in deeper to understand how wild plants embody permaculture and cooperate to enhance the environment for the benefit of all. We will experience hands-on projects and expand our understanding of permaculture design through explorations of sacred ecological practices. We will look to the wild wisdom for inspiration and support while we re-design own rhythmic patterns and participate more powerfully in a regenerative transformation of the world.
