| Description | In this session we will look as the concentric rings of nature, how nature organizes its self, and how our own lives are part of this web of nature. We will look into techniques that develop our awareness of space and how we move through it, so as to become more sustainable in our lives. Here we look into how we design growing systems, to maximize efficiency and hence to make our lives easier and simpler. Here we look into water management, and infrastructural stability as a prerequisite to food stability. This session will involved mapping techniques and permacultural design techniques, working from our maps, taking into account two core permaculture principles; Access and Aspect. Access looks into how we gain access to the basic elements that support our existence; water, food, shelter. Aspect looks into the four directions and how developing an awareness of the directions is an essential understanding for planning ones design. We will gain an overview of sites in our minds eye, and learn to predict patterns ahead of time. We will look into the various symbolic ideas that people attached to the directions from various cultures. Part of a series of events about Food and Sustainable Food production These Events run as a complete course, covering many of the core aspects of Organic Horticulture, and the core principles of Permaculture. Yet they can also be treated as individual sessions in their own right. COST - £10 for each individual session, £80 for the whole course.
