Community Lab is excited to announce the second edition of the online social permaculture course! This time offering an Introductory series as well as a Deep Dive series. Through this interactive online experience, we will explore social permaculture through:
- live sessions with inspiring speakers from Southern and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Levant,
- interactive discussions and break-out groups,
- reflection and experiential exercises,
- peer learning and knowledge exchange,
- a shared community platform for continued connection.
Whether you are a permaculture practitioner, community organiser, ecovillage member, activist, facilitator, educator, or simply someone curious about social permaculture, this space is for you!
A permaculture garden is productive, healthy, vibrant, dynamic and able to meet its own needs. The same characteristics we would find in a natural system we can find and create in humans and our networks. Social permaculture reminds us that regeneration is not only about the landscapes we inhabit, but also about the relationships, cultures and systems we create together.
We invite you to save the date and join us for another edition of shared learning and collective exploration.
The course is designed as an interactive online learning experience, with the format of:
- Live online sessions in Eastern European Time (EET)
- Interactive discussions
- Breakout groups
- Reflection exercises
- Shared learning and peer exchange
- Community platform for discussion and exchange
Characteristics of the sessions:
- Recordings available if you miss a session
- Sessions approximately 2 hours each
- Break included in each session

What ‘‘Grows’’ Next
At the end of all the sessions, hearts feel lighter and minds wider. Each moment has planted seeds of curiosity, care, and connection, slowly growing a garden of ideas that feels alive and personal. You begin to see yourself not just as an individual, but as part of a bigger, vibrant web of people, places, and possibilities.
From this, small, tangible things start to take shape: a new conversation with a neighbor, a tiny change in how you organize your time, a plan for a community project, or the first steps toward a shared garden, cooperative, or workshop. Inspiration turns into action and tools from the sessions: like quick design exercises, facilitation methods, or social permaculture ideas, can be used to shape what comes next. Trust, creativity, and awareness ripple through, leaving a sense of ability to act and the quiet understanding that meaningful change grows slowly, one thoughtful action at a time.
