Midwestpermaculture Opiniões 3

Thank you to the Midwest Permaculture family for sharing your collective years (decades) of experience and expertise through this informative and inspiring course.

I completed the self-study online Permaculture Design Course, and while this version is a series of recorded videos, it is thoughtfully crafted in a way that feels interactive and that you’re actually participating with your fellow students and the educators.
*Bill and Milton, the "lead" educators, also offer a once-a-week support session over a 9 week period to complete the course. This was extremely helpful to keep me on track because I was taking the course near the end of the year with a lot of activities going on.

After taking the course and allowing it to percolate, the biggest takeaway for me was a shift in perspective about how to see the world, inner and outer.
The course weaves together indigenous knowledge, science and practical design options appropriate for your local climate in a way that helps you see how soil, water, food systems, homes, and communities all connect.
Bill and Milton don’t prescribe one path; they help you recognize patterns and possibilities so you can design thoughtfully wherever you are.

It’s a truly welcoming experience for anyone curious about seeing the world with a different lens while building more resilient landscapes, livelihoods, and communities.

Even outside of the "main course," Midwest Permaculture offers so much more. I started watching their Intro series on YouTube and, while that was recorded ~16 years ago, the message is just as relevant, if not more so.

One of my favorite quotes (there are many):
“What is, and how do things really work.
How can we, in our lifetime, however long that may be, live meaningfully and leave the planet in better condition than we arrived.”
-Bill Wilson, co-founder Midwest Permaculture

If you’ve been called to MWP like so many others, listen to that nudge. Taking the course with Bill and Milton changed my life in some of the most amazing ways. I have a plan for my property, I have a deeper understanding of the principles of permaculture, I have soooo many amazing resources to grab whenever I need them, and I gained a host of friends who also want to make the world a better place. Now have a group I can reach out to when I need help with figuring something out. I didn’t realize how much of what we were going to talk about was beyond the material world of things and to dive deeper into the Heart of Permiculture! THIS is personally my favorite part of the course. Thank you Bill, thank you Milton! The ripple of this fractal you guys are making is one of substance and genuine love. Care for the Planet, Care for the People, Care for the FUTURE!

Midwest Permaculture is doing the REAL WORK!
I took the PDC course after stumbling in the dark on my own for some time, and let me tell you, the lightbulbs started going on! Bill and Milton are such a great team and exude the very essence of permaculture. The course is PACKED with great resource material and even shows the vision of how this work is possible in the world. I left the program eager to get into this work myself! This program is so useful for any person on Earth, to see the work we can do to work with nature to provide abundance and also heal the soil! If you are reading this, trust me, take their PDC course or any other offering that speaks to you. You will thank me later!
