Both permaculture design and Yoga and Vedanta philosophy posit that humanity and nature are one. In this 10-day advanced permaculture design course, students will explore and experience first-hand the connection and unity between humans and nature through intensive ecological design training, immersion in ashram life and yoga practice, and personal and group reflection.
Participants will form a large-scale paraprofessional design team “hired” by Sivananda Ashram Yoga Ranch to resolve key design challenges and create a Schematic Master Plan for the ranch’s 77-acre campus and resident community. Participants will focus on one of four key “design streams” relating to the whole design: water supply and waste water treatment systems; food production, processing, storage, and distribution systems; buildings and energy systems; or social and economic structures. Each stream will take on design problems of moderate to high complexity in a mentored group-learning environment and all teams will present and dialogue with each other throughout the course as work progresses. As a collective, we will synthesize these streams into a unified Master Plan and present to a larger public audience by course end.
Immersion in the regular ashram program forms an integral part of the course, including morning (6 AM) and evening meditation, kirtan (chanting), asana practice and community service. Participation in the daily schedule, which is fundamental to the ashram mission, is not only an opportunity to develop or strengthen a personal spiritual practice, but also a direct approach to understanding the unique client and setting. You are invited to actively participate in the yoga and meditation at a level comfortable to you, but at the very least as an observer and an engaged and curious designer. Throughout the course, the design team (all of us) will relate our experiences with meditation and yoga and/or other personal spiritual practices to our work as designers, students, and teachers – and vice versa. We will ask each other: How can the practice of ecological design teach us who we really are and how to act in relation to nature and spirit? How does spiritual practice inform how we design?
Join us as we explore and weave together questions and answers from the inner and outer landscapes. Open to graduates of permaculture design certificate courses and others by application. No prior experience with yoga is necessary.
Fees:
* Some scholarship money and barter opportunities now available!!
* $1160 including 10-day intensive, 9 nights dormitory-style accommodations, light breakfast, delicious organic vegetarian brunch and dinner daily, yoga (asana) classes daily.
* Save an additional $50 for each person you bring with you. (Or gather a group and call/email us!)
Course Prerequisites
• Completion of at least one basic certified permaculture design course.
• Ideally, one to two years of practical and/or design experience in permaculture-related, ecological design work of some kind.
• If you don't have one or both of the above - call us! We encourage new and non-permaculture course graduates to apply—experience is useful, but enthusiasm, commitment, and integrity contribute a ton!
• No prior yoga experience is required, but an open and inquiring mind and heart will serve each of us, all of us, and our design clients best.
