Some feedback from previous courses:

“The open environment and general encouragement to feel comfortable in the space, allowed people to freely express themselves. The group exercises, games and practicals were super good in applying what we learnt and to do it as a group promoted team work and collective thinking”

“Thank you, you were great teachers and lovely people who live Permaculture, which enriched the transmission of course material”
