The course gave me a fantastic understanding of how to be a professional designer. We covered the practicalities of each part of the design process really well. I can more clearly visualise myself as a designer now\, and it was such a blurry vision before.” \n“The workshop was exactly what i needed to get myself over some humps I had been stuck behind\, both in my design process as well as in my life more generally. I felt afterwards that i knew how to find my next steps forward\, which was a major breakthrough!” \n“A fantastic and motivating workshop which considers all aspects of professional permaculture design. Dan’s teaching style is fluid\, fast (when it needs to be)\, and inclusive. Hightly recommended for budding designers.” \n\n  \n URL:http://plentypermaculture.co.nz/event/advanced-permaculture-design/2015-09-25/ LOCATION:Plenty Permaculture\, 375 Whakamarama Rd\, Tauranga\, BOP\, 3179\, New Zealand GEO:-37.7093107;176.0018286 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Plenty Permaculture 375 Whakamarama Rd Tauranga BOP 3179 New Zealand;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=375 Whakamarama Rd:geo:176.0018286,-37.7093107 CATEGORIES:Living Skills Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://plentypermaculture.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/apd-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Plenty%20Permaculture%20Living%20Skills":MAILTO:[email protected] END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
