In this Autumn retreat we will focus on Cool Season Vegetable Gardening, getting our hands dirty building a no-dig garden, explore edible weeds in the landscape and incorporate them in a sub-tropical cooking workshop. We'll use coconut leaf to make garden hats and Cats Claw to make baskets.
The Facilitators - Growing Roots is co-created by a team of trained Oki-Do Yoga Instructors and Shiatsu Practitioners who have a diverse range of professional backgrounds. Bunya Halasz works as an ecologist and Permaculture Practitioner. Will Bulmer is an Intern Psycologist and Deep Ecology Facilitator. Anaheke Metua facilitates Weaving and Environmental Art Projects.
We are honoured on this weekend to have the guidance of Gavin and Kaori Leeman from the Bellbunya Community.

A
hands-on weekend workshop to show you how to build your own cob (earth)

wealth of knowledge gained from having done it yourself with skilled
guidance from experienced practitioners.
Linda McKee has
been building with Cob for almost 20 years , having been taught by
Ianto Evans from Oregon's Cob Cottage Company. Through workshops, she
has have constructed around 70 cob ovens at many Community garden sites
& private homes around SE Qld & Northern NSW. For the past 18
years she has taught Permaculture at various Community gardens in
Brisbane, and for 5 years, managed Edible Landscapes Permaculture
Nursery at Northey Street City Farm.
Peggy Bollmann is an Ayurvedic Practitioner and experienced cook and sourdough bread maker. Early on in her training as a health practitioner, Peggy was introduced to the old saying: "with healthy food, medicine is of no need, without healthy food, medicine is of no use".
This
has naturally led her to combine health education and food eduction,
aiming to both inspire people about healthy eating as well as teaching
them hands-on kitchen skills required to produce yummy meals while
leading busy lives.

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI TeacherWith the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows. |
