The Three Pillars of Permaculture​

​

The Twelve Principles of Permaculture and its three mail pillars help guide us with the development of our programming.

 

The Three Pillars:

1. People Care

2. Earth Care

3. Share in the Surplus

 

People Care

Our programs are designed to create systems whereby students thrive by participating in the development of deeply interconnected systems that nurture security and stability, as well as a sense of connection and community. It’s through this supportive network, that individuals are inspired to take new risks with their learning, uncovering their hidden talents, and reach their full potential.

 

Earth Care

All of our programs integrate a deep understanding of sustainable and regenerative land-based practices. We facilitate art, construction, and food growing programs that are interwoven within the 12 Principles of Permaculture related to our role as stewards of the planet.

 

Share in the Surplus

Everyone takes no more than they need and an extra surplus can be used to create further programming and to develop positive social and economic impact programs.
