We will cover every major topic in &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Bill Mollisons: Permaculture: a Designers Manual&lt;/strong&gt;. So quickly what that includes is the following:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;1. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Philosophies and Ethics&lt;/strong&gt; underlying permaculture.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;2. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Basic permaculture principals&lt;/strong&gt; and help shape things in general&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;3. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Patterns in Nature&lt;/strong&gt;, and how to use that in design&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;4. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Methods of design&lt;/strong&gt;. How to go from a damaged piece of land to having and idea for how to move forward with it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;5. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Climactic factors&lt;/strong&gt;. We will cover all the major climates and how to work with them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;6. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Trees, forests, and why we want to mimic their systems.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;7. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Water&lt;/strong&gt;: catchment, usage, importance, and conservation&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;8. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Soil, minerals, microorganisms, building new soil, and preventing erosion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;9. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Earthworks&lt;/strong&gt;: How to shape the land to help it acheive the goals we are aiming for.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;10. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Aquaculture&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;11. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Natural Building&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;12. &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Alternative systems&lt;/strong&gt;: community living, and other ways of choosing to live differently that works well for people and the planet.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Each of these categories has subcategories and each teacher also has their own additions and certain topics that are stressed over others.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;span class='spip_document_205 spip_documents spip_documents_left' style='float:left;' &gt; &lt;img src='http://www.panyaproject.org/local/cache-vignettes/L480xH640/P2140031-38bf8.jpg' width='480' height='640' style='height:640px;width:480px;' class='' /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;The Panya Project&lt;/strong&gt; was set up to provide an active example of sustainable living in northern Thailand. The project is still in its infancy, but in November, 2006, it hosted a PDC workshop taught by Geoff Lawton which culminated in the construction of a 2 million litre dam and three swales.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;The course will be taught by three active permaculture enthusiasts. Christian Shearer, one of the founders of the Panya Project, Geoffroy Goddeau, a Belgian landscape architect and natural builder, and Greg Crawford, an American permaculturalist with years of experience in production gardens and natural building. Their combined knowledge gives a great scope, with each having strengths in their own areas. All are passionate and enlivening.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;We would like to continue our policy of offering this course at a lower price than other places in the world, in hopes that this course may be attended by folks who ordinarily wouldn't be able to afford to come. We are also going to continue to offer an extremely low fee for people working with NGO's. We appreciate what you do, and this is just one way me might thank you. We are looking forward to expanding our own knowledge and depth of permaculture, creating an amazing example of it ourselves, and sharing the bounty with the global sustainability community and beyond!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;(It may appear that we have raised our prices, but that Thai Baht price for the course is staying exactly the same. The change in US$ price only reflects the fact that the dollar is dropping in value, and thus we have to accept more of it for equal value.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;hr class=&quot;spip&quot; /&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Costs: The two week certified PDC course:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Regular course price: __________24,500Baht (US$780 or AU$880)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;NGO special price*:_________12,250Baht (US$390 or AU$440)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;*If you work for an NGO and believe that permaculture could help your organization achieve its goals, please contact us about the NGO discounted rate.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;These prices include all meals and a place to stay for the duration of the course.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;We ask all registrants to make a deposit of US$200 (US$100 for NGO's) to secure your spot.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Tanjung Sutera Resort &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Kota Kinggi, Johor Malaysia&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;with Darren Doherty and Christian Shearer&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;This full 72-hour certified&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt; Permaculture Design Course&lt;/strong&gt; will consist of a broad range of topics applicable to life anywhere on this planet, yet will be tailored to the needs of the students at hand. Participants will help to co-create the design of &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;edible forests gardens, natural buildings, water catchment and irrigation systems&lt;/strong&gt;, as well as actively implement on the hosting land.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;An easy drive from Singapore, in &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Kota Tinggi, Johor, Malaysia&lt;/strong&gt;, the Tanjung Sutera Resort is an ideal location for a permaculture design course. Situated on a seaside cliff, this resort is looking to the future, hoping to produce a higher percentage of its own food, capture more of its own water, and to generally operate in a more sustainable manner. The course is one step toward that vision for them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;hr class=&quot;spip&quot; /&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Course Curriculum&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;span class='spip_document_275 spip_documents spip_documents_right' style='float:right;' &gt; &lt;img src='http://www.panyaproject.org/local/cache-vignettes/L500xH349/christianteaching-ec14c.jpg' width='500' height='349' style='height:349px;width:500px;' class='' /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;Permaculture courses are fairly standardized as far as content. The &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;72 hours of course work&lt;/strong&gt; required to receive a Permaculture Design Certificate will be covered over a two week period, mixing hands-on with plenty of in-classroom studies. All students are required to be present for the full two weeks if they wish to receive the certificate. We will cover every major topic in Bill Mollison's &lt;i class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Permaculture: a Designers Manual&lt;/i&gt;, including:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Philosophies and Ethics&lt;/strong&gt; underlying permaculture.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Basic permaculture principals&lt;/strong&gt; to help guide us in our designs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Patterns in Nature,&lt;/strong&gt; and how to use them in design.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Methods of design&lt;/strong&gt;. How to go from a good idea, to a functional, beautiful, diverse ecosystem.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Climactic factors&lt;/strong&gt;. We will cover all the major climates and how to work with them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Trees, forests,&lt;/strong&gt; and why we want to mimic their systems.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Water&lt;/strong&gt;: catchment, usage, importance, and conservation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;span class='spip_document_282 spip_documents spip_documents_left' style='float:left;' &gt; &lt;img src='http://www.panyaproject.org/local/cache-vignettes/L240xH180/darrenteaching-8ae4e.jpg' width='240' height='180' style='height:180px;width:240px;' class='' /&gt;

And More!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;hr class=&quot;spip&quot; /&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;span class='spip_document_284 spip_documents spip_documents_left' style='float:left;' &gt; &lt;img src='http://www.panyaproject.org/local/cache-vignettes/L400xH106/The_Panya_Project_final_small-0d95e.jpg' width='400' height='106' style='height:106px;width:400px;' class='' /&gt;

Situated on a seaside cliff, this resort is looking to the future, hoping to produce a higher percentage of its own food, capture more of its own water, and to generally operate in a more sustainable manner. The course is one step toward that vision for them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;hr class=&quot;spip&quot; /&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Course Curriculum&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;span class='spip_document_275 spip_documents spip_documents_right' style='float:right;' &gt; &lt;img src='http://www.panyaproject.org/local/cache-vignettes/L500xH349/christianteaching-ec14c.jpg' width='500' height='349' style='height:349px;width:500px;' class='' /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;Permaculture courses are fairly standardized as far as content. The &lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;72 hours of course work&lt;/strong&gt; required to receive a Permaculture Design Certificate will be covered over a two week period, mixing hands-on with plenty of in-classroom studies. All students are required to be present for the full two weeks if they wish to receive the certificate. We will cover every major topic in Bill Mollison's &lt;i class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Permaculture: a Designers Manual&lt;/i&gt;, including:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Philosophies and Ethics&lt;/strong&gt; underlying permaculture.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Basic permaculture principals&lt;/strong&gt; to help guide us in our designs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Patterns in Nature,&lt;/strong&gt; and how to use them in design.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Methods of design&lt;/strong&gt;.

We will cover all the major climates and how to work with them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Trees, forests,&lt;/strong&gt; and why we want to mimic their systems.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;strong class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;Water&lt;/strong&gt;: catchment, usage, importance, and conservation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class=&quot;spip&quot;&gt;&lt;span class='spip_document_282 spip_documents spip_documents_left' style='float:left;' &gt; &lt;img src='http://www.panyaproject.org/local/cache-vignettes/L240xH180/darrenteaching-8ae4e.jpg' width='240' height='180' style='height:180px;width:240px;' class='' /&gt;
