Sustainable living and Permaculture course weekThis week is an introduction to what is permaculture and how we do permaculture, sustainable living and self sufficiency here at Bogata Šuma. You will learn about setting up a self sufficient life, skills, planning and designing your food growing systems. What is a food forest and how did we setup ours, 6 ways of composting, how to prune and propagate shrubs and trees. And what do you do with the harvest? We'll speak about storing & preserving techniques, do some fermenting. This week is also the introduction week for volunteering at Bogata Šuma. |

Modeling, sculpting and painting in natureThis creative course (for beginners and advanced) teaches you new techniques and views on your artwork. It can be a nice start in moulding or sculpting, and it's definitely a nice atmosphere for outdoor creativity. You can choose to deepen your techniques in sculpting, moulding or painting, or a combination of techniques. In the second half of the week you can change materials or techniques. The result: usually people make two clay figurines, one or two paintings, or a stone sculpture in a week. |
In this course you will learn about permaculture and Cultural Emergence as a toolkit for transformation. You will learn some practical tools and skills to bring (more) connection and sustainability in your life. This course is not about talking about changing the world for the better; it is about learning tools to actively do things and see it working! We will design with regenerative ethics and principles and take action for a better future. This course teaches you a permaculture design framework and you will have dedicated time to work on your own design.

What is Permaculture? Is it "gardening for hippies" or is there more to it? This week is about how permaculture is a practical method of developing ecologically harmonious, efficient and productive patterns and systems that can be used by anyone, anywhere.
