PROGRAMME 2021

Auckland Permaculture Workshop offers in-depth workshops on a range of subjects that provide students with a comprehensive overview of permaculture and regenerative design theory and practice. Participants will learn design skills that integrate the environment, people and technology to create resilient ways of living for themselves and their communities. Completion of Programme 2021 and the Design Project will culminate in participants receiving a Permaculture Design Certificate.

For more information and full details on the Permaculture Design Certificate please see our Programme Info PDF. We encourage all participants to read this document prior to registering as it contains many important details.

Most workshops are based in Auckland Central while others have field trips planned around Central and West Auckland (venues will be disclosed to participants on registration).

The 2021 programme consists of twelve full-day workshops run on Saturdays throughout the year:

TESTIMONIALS

"Rich, world-changing learning. Stretched over a year it is much more doable and in depth than a 2 week PDC."

Marisa Pene
APW PDC Graduate

"The APW permaculture course is the most high quality education experience I remember having in my life. There is so much rich knowledge shared at every workshop that each one feels like a gift. The feeling of community and connection with others with a similar worldview was my second favourite part of the course."

Natalie Thomson
APW PDC Graduate

"I've been studying and practicing permaculture for 20 years. The APW PDC was still full of insights and filled in many gaps in my understanding of urban design, economics and resiliency."

Heidi O'Callahan
APW PDC Graduate

"APW, you have whelmed me, and for that, I am unendingly grateful. This is one of the most indelible, gorgeously complex and breathtakingly simple, and professional workshop series at the cutting edge of what’s possible if Homo Sapiens is to get its act together, and fast.

"[APW] approach the escalating tarantula of current issues with grace, patience and gravity. It’s impossible not to feel extremely well-supported in such an environment.

"For those of you who are wondering if this is for you, worth the time, worth the money, the Saturday away from family, I have only this to say of permaculture: it’s ultimately a way of life on and with the planet and each other, and I can see nothing more important or urgent for anyone to be doing. What APW provides is priceless, and will last far beyond the confines of the year or the month or the Saturday. Whether you are a complete novice or a seasoned campaigner, planner, or designer, it honestly doesn’t matter – there is something extremely worthwhile to take away for everyone."
