This course is focused on training you how to become self-reliant in all the basic needs of life and how begin the process of developing a parallel reality that is free as possible from the centralised control grid. This course focuses on helping you design and transform your home into a regenerative, off-grid, self-reliant life support system that will ensure your continued thrivablity in the face of the current breakdown of society.

The Permaculture Course is run as a residential course hosted by Love Green Permaculture at Oudeberg Permaculture Farm in the Klein Karoo. To learn more about the teaching environment, which is a fully functioning Permaculture Farm, follow the link below.

I have spent the last 20 years adopting and integrating regenerative practices into my life.
One of my primary focuses in my healing journey was on the quality and kinds of food I ate.
As a qualified chef, I changed my eating and consumer ways and began teaching others about organic and wholefoods. I published “Love Green Food, cooking and eating with
consciousness” in 2008.

Since then I have moved off- grid, living a rural farm life and raising a family with Tahir. In 2009 I adopted a vegetarian diet and stopped drinking alcohol. I felt a strong guidance to raise my children vegan since birth. Permaculture is integrated in our life
as a design and management tool for our farm, and most importantly supports our off-grid, regenerative and high vibrational life we seek. I love being close to pristine nature with my family and exploring the wonders of the cosmic universe. I am excited and honoured to welcome people to our home for our courses and retreats.

Tahir and has been practicing permaculture for the last 30 years. He started his permaculture journey in the sub-tropics of Kwa-Zulu-Natal where he established and ran the peri-urban grassroots permaculture project Gardens for Africa, a hectare of intensive urban permaculture which supported a range of local organisations in materials and training in permaculture. In 2003 he moved the Klien Karoo where he founded the Berg en Dal Farm Permaculture Training Center which, he left in 2014, to establish and run Oudeberg Permaculture Farm with his wife Larissa Green. There they have developed a dynamic and productive commercial scale permaculture farm, which is the host venue for the courses they run together. You can find out more about the farm on this website.
