I'm looking forward to hosting this coming PDC for Crystal Waters Community Cooperative and to sharing so much with all of you who come along. It really is a unique opportunity to live in amongst a Permaculture designed Ecovillage and get to be toured around, visit the gardens of locals and work in amongst community members while also participating in an inspiring program of learning sessions. You'll be guided by myself and our other excellent presenters and facilitators - Annaliese Hordern, Max Lindegger, Holly and Trev from Regeneridge Permaculture, Nigel Parratt, Charlie Welshe and several others. Please book in by this Sunday, 13th July as we need to confirm numbers. Thanks so much and see you there :)

The stand outs of our upcoming PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate) Course at Crystal Waters Permaculture Ecovillage is that it's full of face to face connection and learning through diverse info sessions which are often interactive and creative. It highlights many examples through tours, site visits, Hand's On sessions, films and activities, working and learning with locals, walks for observing and connecting with the environment plus an in depth design exercise to really embody the skills and knowledge for designing by using a real piece of land here at Crystal Waters. Two full weeks of living in community and being fed delicious, nutritious, mostly organic food 🙂
"An immersive and experiential course that encourages and demonstrates 'walking the talk' of Permaculture in everyday life". Participants feedback from PDC April 2025
Please register by the 12th July to reserve you place. The link is in the comments 🙂 Looking forward to hosting you 🙂

Greetings Permaculture Friends and Community - I have a special announcement.
Our beloved Crystal Waters Co Op run PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate Course) running from 10th to 24th August, will be the last one that the Co Op runs. It's a fundraiser for the Co Op which I've hosted for the last 7 x 2 week residential courses, with Max Lindegger hosting the previous 7, so this August will be our 15th PDC , run in support of our Co Op and all involved. So, it's the end of an era and we'd love to have a full course to honour all that's gone before and all that will be.
To be honest, we're low on numbers, as we were last course, which is a main reason the Co Op wants to stop. We get fantastic feedback and participants are very well hosted. They leave with expansive new ways to see, experience and interact in all aspects of life with supportive skills for Permaculture Design, implementation, lifestyle and living in an ethical, nourishing, inspired and proactive way.
I'd especially encourage Crystal Waters Residents and Local people to Conondale, Maleny and surrounds to register now as we have a 4 week window to get the numbers. If you've been thinking about it and saying you want to do it, now's the time :)
Please also support us to share this course around to your networks, groups and organisations, family and friends. It's a huge life upgrade and professional development.
It means a lot to me and all involved that this course goes ahead and I'd love that it goes out on a high note 🎶
