In this time of great change, and great opportunity, many of us are searching for ways to make a difference, to transform our families, communities and the world we live in.

Peacemaking & Permaculture at D-Q University, September 3–18
Join us for an extra-ordinary gathering of permaculture, peacemaking and Native American communities – a collaborative Permaculture Design Certification training at D-Q University in Davis.
Our very special guests Jake & Judy Swamp will help launch this unique permaculture course at D-Q University in Davis. Jake served as Mohawk Sub-Chief and representative on the Grand Council of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy for over 30 years, and is the founder of the Tree of Peace Society. Both Jake and Judy have a wide range of experience in Indigenous, environmental and social issues on local, national and international levels – read more about Jake and Judy here.
Also on the bill are top-notch instructors who have been chosen for their vast personal and professional experience in their respective fields – many of them Native American. There will be a strong focus on the Indigenous perspective to Permaculture, Peacemaking and Nature Connection.
Combining the hands-on work of permaculture design with the leadership skills of peacemaking, this will be unlike any other permaculture course you have ever experienced!

Creating Resilient Leaders and Community
Applications are still be accepted for RDNA 2010-11
Are you ready to build a more meaningful relationship with the earth, your community and yourself – and make clear your role as a community member and an integral part of the natural world? The Regenerative Design and Nature Awareness (RDNA) program is an advanced 9-month program that extends hands-on, skill based training to help you develop the leadership skills you need to bring sustainability and regenerative practices into your personal and professional lives. Through RDNA, you can learn to design powerful communities, regenerate ecosystems and facilitate positive community change.
Our instructors are fully engaged visionaries working in regenerative design, nature awareness, cultural mentoring and leadership. They bring the tools they have gathered through years of experience, working locally and around the world, to create resilient leaders, cultural systems and landscapes. They weave these tools together into the dynamic and lifestyle that makes up the RDNA program.
Using the teachings of regenerative design, nature awareness, 8 Shields Culture Mentoring and the Ecology of Leadership, RDNA offers a comprehensive exploration of where we came from, where we are now and where we are going.
