New Internship: REgenerative Design for Food & Land Systems Certificate

Advanced Permaculture, Soil Science, Rotational Grazing and Food Foresting in Community Projects

Community farming meets research and design! With the best of all the many teachers/facilitators have to bring we think this Internship is a combination of all that is most needed in food and land systems work these days.

This Internship includes OUR Permaculture Design Certificate (for credit or as Teaching Assistant), a number of micro-credit options, and specialized workshops with Soil Food Web trainers, soil scientists, rotational grazing expert experts and great hardwood/food foresters.

This is the most comprehensive means of bringing forward community farming and working with other Cowichan Valley farmers who have various specializations. Internship includes cooperative ecovillage living, meals, all facilitators, guest lecturers, special programming/workshops, field trips, and micro-credit / full credit programming.

Land acknowledgment

OUR ECOVILLAGE is situated on unceded Indigenous lands. The Coast Salish Peoples are the guardians of these lands and waters where we live, work, pray, and play. Quw’utsun (Cowichan) is a historical place of gathering and Na’tsa’ maht Shqwaluwun/”one-heart one-mind” for many Indigenous peoples.

OUR ECOVILLAGE is committed to regenerate land and all ecosystems while acknowledging and respecting Indigenous knowledge that ensures thriving for all beings; we call this Permaculture.

OUR ECOVILLAGE is dedicated to continuously educating ourselves and our communities about the history and peoples of OUR bio-region, to assist in decolonization and re-villaging as a path towards peacemaking, from local to global.
