Permaculture Immersion
May 24 - 31, 2026
Quick Navigation
Come and share a life-changing experience with a dynamic group of participants and a pair of dynamic and international permaculture educators in Barcelona!
Over 6 days and 7 nights, participants will dive deep into permaculture design, guided by Alfred Decker and Mohammad al Kulaib. The course includes lectures, discussions, hands-on learning, slideshows, and visits to three local projects. Check out the inspiring program HERE.Â
We will explore regenerative agriculture, soil systems thinking, and Mediterranean land practices. Come learn, build, and reconnect with how landscapes – and people – are meant to live.
In addition to the immersion into permaculture, we will also share inspiring conversations, time at the beach and the hills above the city, a visit to an inspiring ecosocial hub in the neighbourhood, cooking and sharing meals together, encounters with local activists, and the kind of deep community that only emerges when people come together around a common purpose.Â

After taking a PTT course with Rosemary Morrow in 2011, he undertook a two year mentorship and later co-facilitated six courses as her assistant, ultimately earning a Diploma in Permaculture Education & Community Development in 2013 through the Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute (Australia). Committed to furthering the PTT course that Rosemary developed in over four decades of teaching experience around the world, Alfred facilitated over 20 PTT courses as lead facilitator and co-edited all three versions of the PTT manual. Rosemary has asked him to organise the PTT trainings in Europe, and he has developed an online version of the course on the Permaculture Association of Britain’s online educational platform.Â
In 2024 Alfred joined the Global Council of Permaculture For Refugees. He is passionate about how permaculture can be useful to refugees and migrants, and how permaculture education can be designed for them as learners…and how they in turn can best share their valuable knowledge and experience with others.Â
The Permaculture Immersion training will be the first training at his newly launched Permaculture Barcelona Hub!Â
