What if you had a design team in your back pocket to make your self-sufficient and sustainable property dreams come true?
"As soon as I started the course, I started looking at how I interact with nature in our home environment differently. I started to envision a more genuine connection that would bring us greater joy each day - especially in the spaces we enjoy the most.
I also started to reflect on my whole life in a far more holistic way - I had always thought of my life as Work and Home balance, but through the course, I learned to weave together nine different aspects of myself, environment, and community that have led to a more peaceful way of living.
By redesigning spaces and reprioritising time, it feels like everything is working towards my newly clarified goals, which has led to me being happier and calmer."

Introducing...
12 MONTH MENTORSHIP OVERVIEW
This 12 Month Mentorship Programme consists of two core elements:
Weekly Design Review Sessions
2x per month, we will have a live session to answer all of your questions and review your designs. This is the opportunity to get direct 1:1 feedback and input from us. Not only that, you will have access to all the previously recorded sessions for the duration of the course. These sessions will be hugely beneficial, not just because you get instant access to our input, but because you get to learn and be inspired by all the other participants.
8 Modules of Course Content
The programme includes 8 modules of course content for you to work through at your own pace. The modules will include instructional videos, worksheets and practical exercises - covering all aspects of the design process. You will have lifetime access to the course content.
In Module 1 we introduce how the programme will work, what you can expect to achieve, and our background and experience.
In Module 2 we begin to define your design brief.
In Module 3 we reawaken our understanding and amazement of the incredible natural systems that govern life on earth - soil, plants, forests, animals, ecosystems, biomes, climate and land form.
In Module 4 we explore global and micro-climate, nature's clock and land shape (topography).
In Module 5 we explore how the patterns in nature can be used within your design - to harness all of nature's inherent wisdom!
In Module 6 we delve into the different components of your brief and how we can utilise and integrate them in your design - soil, water, waste, power, buildings, growing systems, animals, plants, forests and YOU!
In Module 7 we refine, refine, refine! We will work through and detail all of your different masterplan components.
In Module 8 we close off the programme by defining a clear path forward - your personalised strategy that gets you from A to Z with clarity.
"Regardless of one's experience in a garden I have found that much money, resources and time can be mis-spent without a logical plan. But where to get the plan that fits your specific needs?
Through doing this course I realised that I am quite able to implement my own site-specific plan according to my needs and resources. I'm more focused now and confident that this knowledge underpins my input and gut-feel"
- Annelee
SATISFACTION GUARANTEE
We understand that this is a significant investment, and we want to be sure you are happy with what you get. We want you to be completely satisfied with the programme and our services, so if this course is in any way not what you expected, we will give you a full refund within 30 days of payment.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
- You started off extremely motivated and did a ton of work - only to undo it all a year later because it just wasn't’ working.
- You hired a professional, but were left feeling despondent and frustrated with the outcome. It just wasn’t quite what you were expecting.
- While the experts you hire are looking at solutions for specific systems, who is looking at the big picture?
- Everyone has a different opinion and suggestion - how are you supposed to trust that recommendations from service providers will be the right solution for your personal circumstances?
- There is never enough time (or money)- and it feels like there is no end in sight!
There is another way...
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES!
Through a series of practical exercise you will -
- Define your needs and wants to create your personal project brief and the action plan required to turn it into a reality
- Perform site analysis and observation exercises in order to gain an intimate understanding of your property
- Through our design exercises, compile everything into your personalized master plan drawing and implementation framework.
- Create an overview of all the different components and systems (water, power, waste, etc) to know which ones suit your needs
- Understand the design process and be able to apply it to any future property or project.
We will walk you through all the steps that we, as architects and permaculture designers, would do for a 1:1 client. The main difference is that you will be doing the design work yourself.
