Start
designing your way to abundance on our hands-on design course!
At Bogata Suma you can experience a permaculture lifestyle, as you gain the necessary skills to implement permaculture and Cultural Emergence in your own life.
Permaculture is about designing with nature, by observing her functions, patterns, connections and systems. Cultural Emergence is about growing, protecting and cultivating thriving people and environments. It is about creating a healthier and happier ecosystem for a peaceful, connective life and a positive, regenerative future.
In this workshop we will work with permaculture ethics and principles to help us make sustainable choices.
In this course you will have fun learning together with likeminded people on a permaculture farm in Croatia. This will be a richly nourishing, empowering and life transforming course.
Challenge & awaken, move & invigorate, nourish & empower
With a growing awareness and feeling of responsibility you need tools for transformation. Asking questions, thinking differently, pattern recognition and disruption all lead to growth. How to grow your vision, connections to self and others, your resilience and your effectiveness. We will grow ropes, build trust, appreciate and celebrate.
Enhance your confidence and skills in designing any aspect of your life.
We will use Looby Macnamara's Design Web, with a nice balance between theory and practise. Her Design Web is an effective toolkit that translates the use of permaculture ethics & principles, and helps you design for people based systems.
You will leave this course with...
- A personal design for an aspect of your life that you want to improve.
- A group design for a positive change in the world
Within the first 3 months following the course you can have 2 consultancy calls with us, to bring your theoretical and practical knowledge together for your situation.
This course is regarded as a CEED course, one of the modules of the Cultural Emergence learning pathway from Looby Macnamara. For more information about the learning pathways see here.
The venue Bogata Šuma
Experience and enjoy permaculture in reality at our homestead Bogata Šuma! Together we can discover how permaculture can be a solution to many (world) problems.
This course is a transformative opportunity to focus on something meaningful and practical in your life and bring intention to it, using the toolkit of permaculture and cultural emergence to take it to the next level.
Permaculture farm Bogata Šuma is situated on the top of a hill in the heart of Croatia, with forests all around. We have been on this land since 2005, after it was abandoned by the previous owners after the Yugoslavian war. 15 Years ago we found a jungle with overgrown fruit and nut trees, and we turned it into a beautiful edible landscape where guests have been enjoying camping holidays ever since.
For us, permaculture is an inspiring way to design our land and life in a sustainable way. Growing almost all of our food, staying healthy with home grown herbal remedies (teas, oils, tinctures) and natural building techniques is part of that.
We love to use permaculture principles to develop our land and our lives. We take care of the earth, of the people around us and we love to share our knowledge, skills and good food from the garden.
In the afternoons you have time to work on your own designs, to explore the area or swim in the river
The games and activities were funny and attention keeping and very introspective and motivational - Eva

The group culture was absolutely safe. It was full of richness, listening and growing through each other. We grew bonds and ties forever.
I usually learn by experience. I have enjoyed all of the activities and gained a lot of insights through fun!
