Becoming an Earth Healer

Earth Activist Training’s Permaculture Design Course is an intensive that combines theory and practical hands-on learning with a grounding in spirit and a focus on social justice and ecofeminism.  Come learn practical earth healing and gain the skills to regenerate land and community.  We use a diverse set of teaching tools that encourage experiential and participatory learning, combining theory with practice, lectures with hands-on projects, sound science with ritual, meditation, song and story—and lots of fun! We will challenge consumerism, and explore ways to advocate for and create a culture of sustainability, compassion and equity.

Completion of the course earns participants a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) – the foundation for further permaculture work and study and a prerequisite for the Diploma in Permaculture Design. Participants will learn Permaculture design principles & techniques. The PDC covers a broad range of subjects to provide a holistic overview of Permaculture systems and sustainable living.

Where can I go after the Course?

• Embark on new farming practices
• Start a permaculture diploma program
• Find ways of dramatically reducing energy consumption
• Begin land-based ventures & small businesses such as: nurseries, landscape design consultancies, etc.
• Realize goals towards self-sufficiency

City dwellers have found that even with little or no land, Permaculture shows them how to work with their home to produce food, reduce energy needs, live more ecologically and in closer connection with their communities. Educators, farm advisers, international development workers, garden directors, builders, master gardeners, and landscape architects have all reported that what they’ve learned in this course has become a foundation for their work. Farmers, nursery owners, foresters and livestock farmers have all found that Permaculture design has multiplied their incomes, reduced their work, and improved the health of their stock.

This course aims to be a courageous space for people who are/were exposed to any form of discrimination. Welcome!

Permakultur-Hof Stein-Häger is a permaculture project in the hilly Uckermark, one hour by train north of Berlin in the Brandenburg region. Wild nature, wide views and young trees offer space for beautiful camping close to nature. The facilities are simple but beautiful.

Course Administration

The course is administered by the association zukunftsFähig, who explain in their statutes, “We are committed to the radical diversity, which is a feature of all living systems. We expressly reject any form of racist, sexist, homophobic and anti-Semitic or otherwise discriminatory statements and behavior as incompatible with the ethics of permaculture.”

Payment Options

We are dedicated to making this course work for you, and offer a range of options for payment.

For the other costs (teaching, materials, travel, large tent rental, accounting, etc.), EAT offers a sliding scale that encourages people with higher incomes to give a bit more. The scale for this certified training is between 1130€ – 1480€ per person, in addition to the food & accommodation costs listed below. Those who can afford to pay more on the higher end of the scale will help those who can only pay less. The sliding scale recognizes the differences in economic reality depending on what country a participant comes from, as well as their individual circumstances, so this is a practical way that people with more resources can act in solidarity. If you want to propose a different price, please share with us what you want to contribute and why you need support.

We have an amount of pay-what-you-can scholarships for people of color students working in environmental and social justice movements. That is part of our way of supporting reparations and of bringing in more diversity to our permaculture movement. If you are a BIPOC interested in one of these scholarships, please contact us HERE.
