Course Schedule (IP_PDC)
Integralpermanence has practical/ design and teaching experience in every major climate zone and has taught to hundreds of students from over 40 countries around the world. Past students have gone on to engage full time in regenerative agriculture, community and system transformation, business development and redesign and further study in various fields of regenerative design regarding communities, education, agriculture and other systems for the shared benefit of all. All PC courses are conducted in the Internationally accepted format and accredited by the PRI (Aus) and the Permaculture Association UK, where Richard also offers a redesigned and highly engaged Diploma pathway. Taking a training with Richard will fast- track your Permaculture learning. Integralpermanence also offers specialist workshops and trainings in a various aspects of regenerative systems based design and project implementation, check our schedule or get in touch if you would like to host a course.
Having observed the varying quality and caliber of trainings around Europe and the rest of the world it is part of our strategy to remain true to the originators’ intended formats for our trainings, understanding the clarity behind this intention. As such our certification from the leading global institute, PRI, ensures you are getting a world class, up to date training from a field trained practitioner and experienced educator who has been personally vetted and assessed. We are also certified by the PC Assoc. UK, which requires teachers to have practical and design training to a minimum standard. It is clearly enriching (if not essential) for professional designers/ teachers to study and work regularly in all climatic zones, and our diverse experience in design/ education/ implementation and research around the world greatly informs our work and deeply benefits our students learning. The primary aspect of courses by Integralpermanence that make them effective is the commitment to returning the DESIGN to Permaculture Design Courses, through engaged participatory design exercises regularly throughout the course.
Besides our busy international schedule integralpermanence is proud to have established the first internationally accredited Permaculture Design Course trainings in places as diverse as Dominican Republic, Luxembourg and Sweden.

"One of the most dynamic Permaculture teachers in Europe"
Maria Svennbeck, HolisticGardening, Sweden Transition Movement
"Richard is not only an outstanding teacher but a passionate carrier of the permaculture torch. He brings passion, joy and deep meaning to everything he does including his work at a PDC teacher. I have taught two full permaculture design courses with Richard and was glad to have him at my side, as his strengths in connecting deeply with the students, understanding their needs and delivering the content in an engaging manner complemented mine well. Richard is engaged in permaculture teaching and consultancy work on at least three continents, and is doing his best to see that permaculture moves toward the world-changing potential that we all know it has."
Christian Shearer, founder of Panya Project and Lead Designer Terra Genesis International
