What our recent visitors say about
the Permaculture project

When I came to Sierra Nevada I did not really plan to do a permaculture course, but I met Steve at the right time and his project found me. We had a wonderful time together, creating with the Earth and really seeing big changes. We built beds and terraces, planted trees, harvested fruits and yuca and visited other permaculture projects and had good chats with good cacao together. 

What I liked a lot, was the balance between teaching the scientific part and talking about the philosophy behind. We learned which components you need to give our soils and plants. Also it was part of the course to learn about the principles of permaculture and involve them in your daily life. I understood that permaculture is more than just a sustainable way of agriculture - it’s a way of connecting to nature deeply. 
During the course we also spent time together to connect to each other and ourselves. Steve created a place where there is space for everything. He really took good care of us. He made us laugh every day, gave us energy with his endless motivation and he gave us time to rest, when we needed it. Thank you for the great experience. You make a beautiful job, go on and spread permaculture love in the world.

Hanne - Germany - Feb 2024 

The teaching methodology is very practical in style because it is felt that the best teacher is Mother Earth - the more time spent with our hands and feet in her, the greater the opportunity for learning.

 

Alongside the practical work, there is ample time for discussion and communication around the themes being explored. There will be sacred fires and sharing circles to help us connect and share knowledge and wisdom. 


On a technical level, we explore:
  • Capturing and storing energy as a bedrock for a permaculture system using many techniques including banana circles, Vetiver, check dams, and terraces

  • water harvesting

  • moon calendar study

  • agroforestry for regenerating degraded soils

  • the alchemy of Bocashi compost

and much more...

 

We host Perma Cinema regularly to find inspiration and motivation in other projects. We also like to take groups on field trips to other projects nearby our farm to see Permaculture in action on other lands.

The Project is open to anyone who feels the calling from inside to connect more deeply with the Earth. From this willingness, we have a great opportunity to go very deep and download incredible new ways of living and co-curating together with Mother Earth.

“My wish for humanity is that we find our way home, that we find the opportunity within ourselves to connect to Mother Earth, to put our hands inside the Earth and reconnect with the One That Gives Us Everything We Need. It is with absolute faith and belief that when we plug into the vibration of Mother Earth through this practice of being with her over a small period of time, we will remember ourselves as being born from this Earth, and from there, much magic happens! Everything is taken care of, we have returned home safely and can be good guardians of this magical planet we now call home.” (Steve – 2024)
