Our Permaculture based Summer Art-Farm programs are presented as a new-old way to learn a way of life and design system that is rooted in agriculture–yet expands to include a multitude of issues that ally ourselves with nature.
In Permaculture, we take a good look at the world all around us, and, integrate our energies rather than trying to control it. The practice of care taking our human family, care-taking the earth and giving something back are the ethics that Permaculture is based upon and is at the heart of what Little Artshram presents in all of its programs.
We use twelve basic Permaculture principals in our Art-Farm curriculum which lead us on the path of discovery that we are a part of nature working alongside of nature, not separated from it.
In 2008 we will begin offering "Wandering in the Woods" a series of workshops based on learning the basics of primitive outdoor skills and nature awareness, following the teachings of Jon Young of the Wilderness Awareness School and guided locally, by the Primitive Skills Core Group.
Would your family like to learn more about Permaculture and explore the opportunity to grow your own food at the Traverse City Community Gardens?
We are excited to announce our first Community Learning Center program…
