Our courses are designed to support practical learning in systems thinking, ecological design, and community-based living.
Each course offers a different way into the same core approach: learning how to observe systems, understand patterns, and design responses that support life.
Whether you are new to permaculture or deepening existing experience, you can explore learning pathways that combine land-based skills, social systems, and personal practice.

- Learning through direct experience
- Connecting ecological and social systems
- Practical application in real-world contexts
- Developing long-term design thinking skills
Who These Courses Are For
- People interested in permaculture and ecological design
- Community organisers and facilitators
- Growers, land stewards, and designers
- People exploring regenerative ways of living
No prior experience is required — just curiosity and a willingness to engage with systems in a practical way.
What People Say
Feedback from participants reflects the practical, grounded nature of our courses and the depth of learning that comes from working with real systems.
"Absolutely inspirational! Rakesh's unique way of teaching enabled us to develop our knowledge and skills whatever our starting point. I can't wait to put it all into practice now!"
"The most interactive and engaging workshop I’ve ever been on. Rakesh is an absolute inspiration and I always feel motivated to get out in my garden and create something new towards my future forest garden. Thank you thank you so much :)"
"A truly superb insight into our lives - on a spiritual, physical and mind level! Lots of life-long wisdoms shared. Empowered and ready to put into action :-) A thank you from the bottom of my heart to Sunil and Rakesh for making it happen. Blessings and Gratitude to you both."
"Deeply enchanting, enlivening, and enriching workshop. Rakesh's is a true teacher. He doesn't just impart words and knowledge, he teaches by BEING his teachings. He embodies what he practices to the core, and it is infectious! The day was led beautifully and sociocratically. I felt that my contributions were valued, and space was made for my needs. I learnt a huge amount, or more accurately, I UNlearned a huge amount. I feel a better Forest School Leader by the end of it and I look forward to my PDC with Rakesh in a few months! Love!"
