Permaculture, Local Ecological Economies
and Biodynamics:
for Community and Garden
5 Sessions - November to December 2009
Presented by The Center for Bioregional Living and Andrew Faust
Creating True Health and Wealth; Deep Green
Designing Ecological and Bioregional Economies
The confluence of climate change, economic collapse,
peak oil and wide spread pollution are all pointing to a need for an
articulate and
comprehensive alternative.
Come and hear Andrew Faust one of New York City's leading Ecological Design
teachers describe a beautifully simple and effective way to transition
from an
inherently inefficient, unstable and pollution generating economy to
a healthy, vibrant and regenerative economy and infrastructure.
Andrew Faust, founder of The Center for Bioregional Living, has been teaching
ecological design and Permaculture for over 17 years. Two years ago he moved
to NYC, after homesteading off the grid for 8 years in rural W.V., and
hit the ground running teaching numerous classes, speaking on various panels,
designing edible gardens, consulting urban and rural clients and
volunteering in
his local community garden. He is currently working on creating
ecological training centers in North America and abroad and inspiring
the next wave of students in his 4th full Permaculture Design
Certification in NYC.
Andrew has taught the PDC course over 15 times since 2003 at Yestermorrow
Design/Build
school in Warren,VT.
