Permaculture is a system of ecological design that looks to nature as a model for creating beneficial relationships. While plants, soil, water, and energy form intricate networks that can be designed with clarity, relationships between people often present greater challenges. This workshop explores how to bring the same ecological intelligence that shapes thriving landscapes into our social and personal lives.

Following a spiral sequence based on Joanna Macy’s The Work That Reconnects, participants move through four stages: gratitude, honouring our pain for the world, seeing with new and ancient eyes, and going forth. Each stage provides a pathway for growth, relational awareness, and collective transformation.

You will learn how to:

• Design supportive and cooperative human relationships grounded in ecological principles

• Recognize and shift cultural patterns that foster conflict and division

• Engage in eco somatic practices that embody our interconnectedness with the web of life

• Develop moral and psychological courage to act with clarity in times of change

• Explore systems science, Deep Ecology, and Earth centered spirituality as frameworks for social harmony

This process has supported thousands worldwide in building cultures of cooperation, connection, and respect for all of life. Participants will leave with renewed purpose, practical tools for collaboration, and a deeper understanding of how permaculture principles can guide both inner and social harmony.
