    How to book

Journey to the verdant Grain & Sens ecovillage in the Ardèche region of southern France for a one-of-a-kind Permaculture Design Certificate course. This immersive training combines theory and practical hands-on learning, with a grounding in spirit and activism that makes the experience unique and transformative.

You’ll be led by two dynamic educators:

  • Renowned author and activist Starhawk, one of the foremost voices in Earth-based spirituality.

  • Award-winning permaculture designer Alfred Decker of 12P Permaculture Design, one of Europe’s leading permaculture educators with deep teaching experience.

While working with the land and learning how to base our designs on nature’s patterns, we’ll explore ways of contributing to the emergence of a culture of sustainability, compassion and equity. ***This family-friendly summer training is a rare chance to become certified in permaculture while your children frolic and learn alongside.***

The course will be held August 1-24, 2025, and will be bilingual in both English and French. We offer sliding scale tuition, and some pay-what-you-can Diversity Scholarships, which are for People of Color and Indigenous people working towards environmental and social justice.
