DESIGN CONSULTANCY

The workshop orients the participants to Permaculture and Permaculture Design. It introduces the participant to what Permaculture is and isn’t by guiding the participants gently towards the ethics and principles of Permaculture.

​

The PDF-I workshop is structured to build the foundation for the participant to study further and to explore Permaculture through self-study or by attending courses suitable to his/her needs. It also includes themes of Permaculture design which is discussed in detail with a new perspective which is seldom included in a standard introduction course.

​

The Permaculture Design Foundation-I is an information-heavy workshop, and also has interesting activities and assignments. It is a pre-requisite to attend any of the courses conducted by Jyoti and will also serve as a strong base for the participants to choose from many available, other long courses like the PDC and learn from other instructors.
