We are preparing for the Spring/Summer season and there are so many things to be excited about! This is one of them. Each year we host a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) to learn how we can prepare and begin to change our world for the better. These 2-weeks are an inspiring and life-changing experience, bringing people together from all over the world to share and exchange knowledge, skills and joy with one another. Please join us!
What exactly is a PDC?
Gain the skills and knowledge you need to provide for you and your community. Learn to live in balance with the earth – making use of its natural systems, while protecting its majestic beauty. This 2 week course will equip you with the essential tools for a sustainable and abundance future!
Why a PDC in South Dakota?
This is a unique opportunity to learn about Permaculture, in a Native American context. Live, Learn and Work with the native Oglala Lakota on their beautiful and rich land. The course is hosted here, on the Pine Ridge Reservation, at our very own permaculture ranch. During the course you will be able to see and help build the many existing systems we have in operation. Our site focuses on: food production, water harvesting, sustainable energy, natural building, and broad-scale holistic management.
Whether you are an experienced Permaculturist, an avid gardener, or are just beginning to learn to benefits and skill-sets of a truly sustainable lifestyle, we would love to have you join us. All backgrounds and experience levels are welcome!

Wondering what Permaculture is?
“Permanent agriculture” or “permanent culture,” a term coined by Australians David Holmgren and Bill Mollison in the 1970s, describes a design system for creating human settlements that function in harmony with nature. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and the ecological patterns of the living world, permaculture design is applicable to farms, gardens, organizations, housing developments, towns and villages, or city neighborhoods.
