We live in a challenging time on the journey of humanity, but one which is also full of potential and possibility.
Through our everyday actions we can activate change and initiate a new way of being in the world.

The Permaculture Barcelona Hub is delighted to offer this unique and inspiring 4 night / 3+ day workshop and bring together earth activists, change makers, rebels and dreamers to share some time in nature, strengthen our connections, and deepen our creative vision.

Facilitated by Starhawk and Alfred Decker, the Earth Activism & Social Permaculture (EASP) training will take you on a journey of transformation, regenerating inner and outer landscapes.

We will explore how an understanding of ecology and the principles of permaculture can infuse our activism, including how to structure groups and organizations that can meet our core human needs, while also sharing key tools for staying calm, grounded and present during moments of chaos and challenge. Participants will come away with tools for evaluating strategy, crafting actions and campaigns that tell a clear story, improving intra-group communication and resolving conflicts, and with renewed energy and hope.

We will hear the positive stories that can keep our hope alive in these crazy times, fuel our inspiration for actions that have beneficial impacts for people and planet, and help us to create a new story for our own lives.

Pricing

Note: accommodation and local transport are not included in the following prices. Once registered, we can organise local accommodation for you in shared or individual rooms, or you can make your own arrangements.

Your participation in this training directly supports the creation and growth of the Permaculture Barcelona Hub — a permanent space for courses, skill-sharing, networking, and regenerative design in a vibrant part of Barcelona.

We offer a sliding scale for the EASP, and ask participants to offer what they can pay for this high quality training. Those who can afford to pay more on the higher end of the scale will help those who can only pay less.

The sliding scale recognises the differences in economic reality depending on what country a participant comes from, as well as their individual circumstances, so this is a practical way that people with more resources can act in solidarity.

Scholarships

We also have some pay-what-you-can scholarships for members of marginalised communities and people of color working in environmental and social justice movements. That is part of our way of supporting reparations and of bringing in more diversity to our permaculture movement. If you are a member of a marginalised community, BIPOC or a refugee/migrant and interested in one of these scholarships, please fill in a scholarship application form HERE.

Note about food: while we will try to cater to all diets, the Permaculture Barcelona Hub welcomes ethical omnivores and vegetarians, so the meals we share may not be appropriate for strict vegans.

Note about transport: we encourage participants to arrive to Barcelona by public transport whenever possible. There are fast trains from London, Paris and Berlin to Barcelona, as well as buses from anywhere in Europe. If it is not possible to arrive by public transport, we will encourage you to make a donation to a local permaculture-influenced regenerative tree planting project.
