Permaculture has a Major Pedagogy Problem

Permaculture has a major pedagogy problem.

Many big-name permaculture courses rely on "celebrity" for legitimacy, replicating business-as-usual in their teaching practices, when they could be creating a classroom that prefigures permaculture principles & centers marginalized experiences.

This has to stop.

As educators, facilitators, and ecological designers, our pedagogy prefigures and belies our values. Permaculture educators who cannot facilitate the classroom-as-a-world that embodies earth care, people care, and fair share, cannot be trusted to teach others how to design a next world that does.

Hosted by @ranchocompasion and taught by me, @rachel_economy, this fun weekend deep-dive is for anyone who wants to learn ecological design skills for creating beyond-sustainable gardens, landscapes, and communities. You'll leave with a design for your own garden or space! No experience required, beginners welcome! Those with some experience in gardening or sustainability will also get new and deeper tools and frameworks from this workshop. Liberation centered in content and teaching practices <3
