Once again, Antioch College welcomes the Cincinnati Permaculture Institute (CPI) to lead and award the CPI’s internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certification (PDC) training to be held over three weekends from July 12 to July 29.

Permaculture is Ecological Design: a system of ethics, principles, tools and skills that integrates the patterns and systems of nature as guides for creating resilient and holistic landscapes, homes, communities, and habitats.

This accelerated training is structured as follows:

  • Dates: Full 72 hour training – July 12 – 14, 19 – 21, 26-28, 2024
  • Fridays: 4 hr online lecture/discussion sessions (4:00PM – 8:00PM)

  • Plus 12 hours of supplemental reading and videos.

The training will be led by Susan VonderHaar, Director of the Cincinnati Permaculture Institute.

We welcome members of the public as well as enrolled Antioch students. This training is accessible to beginners as well as experienced home gardeners, farmers, homesteaders, artisans, nature enthusiasts, and more. Learn about the role humans play in the ecosystems we inhabit and how to make choices to affect those ecosystems for the better – protecting, preserving, and healing the earth even as we harvest from it.
