Our Mission
We provide transformative permaculture education, equipping students with the knowledge, skills and support to become designers, teachers, and community leaders in ecosystem stewardship.
Our Method
We break down barriers to permaculture education by offering donation-based, hybrid classes with flexible timelines. Our comprehensive training equips students with the skills to design and implement regenerative solutions. Graduates collaborate to establish local permaculture demonstration sites—living hubs of inspiration where communities co-create sustainable solutions to adapt to climate change. Together, we cultivate resilient, interconnected communities at a human-tribal scale..
Our Hope
Hope is rooted in our capacity and readiness to act. With every moment and each breath, we possess the power to transform. Finding an uplifting and motivating community liberates us to shift our paradigm. Our hope reserves a place for you as a permaculture practitioner, educator, and leader in sustainability within your community.
Our Vision
We envision a world where nature is cherished, and communities unite to steward thriving local ecosystems. Guided by permaculture education, we aim for a future where diversity flourishes, and people work together to cultivate resilience, abundance, and harmony with the Earth.

Our Philosophy
Everything gardens. Squirrels sow the seeds of forests. Wolves move the hooved ones through the prairies while big cats shepherd the grazers across savannas, maintaining the balance of nature. Soil dwellers enrich and aerate the earth, making it receptive to rain. Nature is a vast, intelligent collective composed of innumerable life forms. We belong to this family of life, serving and sharing in the stewardship of our planet. Each being plays a crucial role; our task is to rediscover our part in Earth's conservation and renewal. Our significance is equal to all life; we are all interlinked and reliant on one another. Let us embrace our vast family, navigate life ethically, and when our journey ends, return our bodies to the soil to nourish new life.
