Offered: September 2011
Location: Santa Cruz Waldorf School, Santa Cruz, CA
Instructors: Lydia Neilsen, Dave Shaw, Ken Foster and special guests including Penny Livingston-Stark

In addition to the full curriculum presented in all of RDI's permaculture design certification courses, the PDC offered at the Santa Cruz Waldorf School will be uniquely integrated with the Waldorf School Community as well as being connected with the UCSC agro-ecology community, Transition Santa Cruz, and the Live Oak Grange. The course will include discussion of Rudolf Steiner's teachings on agriculture, known as Biodynamics, which is being recognized for increasing soil health and corresponding plant and animal health and nutritional quality. We will also explore Steiner's thoughts on the  human-nature connection and land stewardship, as well as business, economics and the three-fold social order. This collaboration will be a dynamic and community building experience for all involved!
