Dales Diploma Days - CANCELLED

30/3/2017

These events have sadly been cancelled for this year. Hoping to run some similar days in 2018 

I'm really pleased to announce a programme of (Yorkshire) Dales Diploma Days over the next few months, for anyone doing the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design. These will take place at two different locations on a variety of days,  with the aim of being as accessible to as many Diploma apprentices in the area as possible. 

The functions of the Dales Diploma Days are:- 

* To provide a space to focus on getting some design documentation completed, (both venues have great internet access). 
* To meet with other apprentices - guild/peer support time.
* The opportunity to have a tutorial with me. 
* Visit a great venue. 
* It's possible to video link  to either of  venues (Skype, Facetime etc) for guild time or a tutorial.

You are welcome to either attend the whole day or just turn up for an hour or two

Those Plant People is a LAND centre in the village of Steeton in between Keighley and Skipton. We have access to a fab classroom there.

Settle Community and Business Hub is a wonderful new community project in the centre of Settle, a small market town in the heart of the Dales.

There is a 'Pay as you feel' (suggest £5-10)  request to cover the hire of the venue, hot drinks etc. Any tutorials are at the usual Permaculture Association set rate of £30/hr (or part of your existing route fee if I am your personal tutor)

For more details about my role as a tutor click here 

The following dates for 2017 have been confirmed. Please get in touch with me if you are thinking of coming along or would like further details.

Its exactly a year since I completed the wonderful People and Permaculture Facilitation (FIT) training   Attending the Permaculture Association's Thriving Communities Gathering this weekend, and meeting up with Anna and Charlie who had also attended the FIT training,  got me thinking about how FIT and the resulting monthly online gatherings,  had influenced my permaculture design/work.

Anna, Charlie and myself,  all facilitated key workshops focusing on People  Centred Permaculture projects, at the Thriving Communities Gathering - it felt like a very meaningful presence, bringing our applied and tested designs focusing on People Care and Fair Shares,  to the event.


More details about our workshops, (text taken from the event programme) - 

Reciprocity in Communities - Working with deprivation - with Charlie Gray of Horton Community Farm & Grow Bradford, 1.30pm
This workshop is about creating reciprocal relationships in deprived communities, of which Charlie has great experience to share through her work in and around Bradford. Charlie is part of a LAND permaculture Centre in Bradford, West Yorks as well as Grow Bradford and Plenty, all food related organisations which are helping to transform food systems across Bradford by various means.

The next steps for these projects are all focused on how to link underprivileged and privileged areas and how to run projects across these areas to best effect.

Using the Design Web - Diploma Accreditation with Anna Locke, 3.00pm

​
An accreditation event is the culmination of the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design, in which the apprentice makes a 45 minute presentation of a selection of their design work to a peer group panel made up of Diploma holders and Design Course Certificate holders. This panel also inspects the student's portfolio and assesses the work against the accreditation criteria.
Anna Locke is presenting highlights from her 3 year diploma journey.  Her 10 designs reflect her paid work as a community gardener as well as a playful translation of some of the classic land-based permaculture concepts into reality --- e.g. Hugelkulture, biodiversity, using edges, green manures, grafting, irrigation, creating structures and more.
The presentation is in two parts- first an overview of the 10 designs- 7 of which are in London and 3 of which are within a very large community forest project in Sussex.
The second part is about a growing connection with the use of the design web.  Because of the complex nature of community gardening Anna started using the design web and doing people-centred designs.  There is a clear progression along the 10 designs journey and she will be giving her thoughts, tips, observations and reflections  gathered along the way.

Creative Dying: Permaculture Design for end of life care - Katie Shepherd, 1.30pm

​
Creative Dying uses permaculture design at its centre. The workshop will encourage participants to explore creative, positive and unique approaches that we can take to design the end of our lives and how we die. It will appeal to the many people throughout the world already using permaculture to increase resilience and healing in other aspects of their life and work.

Creative Dying - Well of Grief

My current designs, especially the development of my overall Right Livelihood and then Creative Dying, (using permaculture to design how we die),  have evolved and grown in a really effective way over the past year, with much of the knowledge and experience of the FIT training being core to this deepening growth.
​ 
My next steps over the following month are to document these designs into a publicly accessible format, meaning others can benefit from more accessible People Focused design information. ​
