Title
Are you ready for a life-altering experience, to shift your perspectives, to change the way you think about life and work? Then a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) is the next step on your journey.
A PDC is one of the best investments you can make for yourself for future planning, building resilience, sustainability, connection, regeneration, adaptation, creativity and homesteading.
A PDC empowers you with critical knowledge and equips you to meet the challenges and opportunities that arise from our current time.
Join us for two weeks of learning, connecting and practical hands-on activities with knowledgeable facilitators in the natural & pristine surroundings of Gumbaynggirr Country, Bellingen.

This workshop could be for you if:
• You are tired of seeing the many broken systems all around us and want to be a part of the movement that is regenerating land and creating sustainable solutions.
• You feel pulled to work with nature rather than against it.

• You are curious about how to incorporate ecological design into your garden, farm, home, relationships, work and/or life.
• You crave a holistic approach to sharing resources, minimizing waste, and advocating for human needs, earth needs, and the needs of future generations.
• You’ve heard about permaculture and want to learn more!

Highly Relevant Topics
This PDC will weave together critical topics on Regenerative Agriculture, Permaculture for Mobility, Social Permaculture, Biodynamics, Ecopsychology, Radical Redesign, Preparing for Extremes, Rewilding, and practical applications of Permaculture in your life, to name a few. Receive your PDC certificate at the end of the course.
Empower yourself with critical knowledge for today's challenges and opportunities.

DO YOU DELIVER TO MY AREA?

WHAT SETS BELLO BEEF APART FROM OTHERS LABELED AS "GRASS-FED"?

Bello Beef is 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, meaning our cattle graze solely on pasture without any grain supplementation. This ensures superior taste and quality compared to products labeled as "grass-fed" that may still include grain finishing.
