How To Live Off the Grid While Staying Connected

The confluence of peak oil, loss of biodiversity, and widespread pollution from carbon-based industries all point to the growing need for an alternative to our way of living. Using natural, scientifically-based approaches, the worldwide permaculture movement addresses these issues to develop a healthy, vibrant, more sustainable model we can all use right at home.

During this 5-day workshop, leading permaculture teacher Andrew Faust shows us how to live off the grid, while staying connected to our communities and the world. We learn to:

Turn your home, farm, or cabin into a self-sufficient, low-energy-use, off-the-grid dwelling
Use natural energy supplies like passive solar and gravity-fed water systems
Detox your home and clean indoor air with plants
Develop organic, biodynamic, and biointensive home and rooftop gardening techniques
Turn wastes into resources with gray-water sumps, composting for home and garden, and eco-outhouses

We also explore permaculture in the kitchen, passive cooking, eating regionally and seasonally, and so much more!
