Led by Dr. Rod Everett assisted by Mill Millichap

This course shows a way to live a mindful life, following an ecological design system that integrates all components of the ecosystem in a holistic approach to sustainable and regenerative living.

This course will enable us to contribute to an understanding of a sustainable approach to the design of everything from city life, backyard gardens, fruit orchards, water management, temperate and Mediterranean climates and much more covering almost unlimited topics. Inspiring for those who already have some understanding of permaculture to those who are coming with a totally open mind for a beautiful experience in a greek mountain village, half an hour from the sea. Learning to be a designer for your own project or to be able to offer the services of permaculture design to others having acquired a sound understanding of the ethics and principles of permaculture design.
Taught by our returning leading teachers Rod Everett and Mill Millichap (our 8th year!!). These teachers are elders of permaculture and love to dance spontaneously, both having trained not only in permaculture education but the creative teaching of this interesting subject. Mornings begin with mindfulness practices from Rod whilst Mill says don’t expect to be sitting around all day, listening to someone ‘droning’ on. Guest teacher Marios Desyllas (bio / homeodynamic agriculture) will also be offering discussions and support. Yoga is offered for an hour morning stretch every second day by re-greens resident yoga teacher Amber.

Including but not only learning & applying permaculture principles and ethics, group design projects, practical projects, discussions on related Permaculture design and systems of nature, exploring surrounding village, forests, flora and fauna, wildlife and interacting within the gardens whilst staying at Re-Green Ecoculture Centre ~ an active Permaculture Farm. Benefiting anyone who wishes to design and find a new way of living that is in tune with the natural world and the real needs of humans and the earth. Please also expect to have fun!!

Resulting in a full Permaculture Design Certificate.

Our wonderful teachers 
Note from Dr. Rod Everett
I was brought up in a beautiful valley surrounded by wise trees, talkative birds, inquisitive mammals, fleeting butterflies and the musical River Roeburn. They have taught me much over the years along with dog companions, who have shown me hidden places and allowed me to interact with nature. I have been very privileged to still be living in the same valley as I played as a child.
Lea Harrison ran a teacher training course and advanced design course in our house in 1990. This started most of the UK Permaculture design teachings – out was a great course.
Later I participated in a creative teaching course with Skye. This really inspired me and has been the stimulant for my teaching technique. Whole body learning enables the permaculture principles to become an integral part of your life.
My great friend and co teacher Mill MilliChap brings his knowledge and skill of growing food for many years and living a thoughtful and simpler life. He always adds his wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm for life to our joint courses.
