TRAINERS
Starhawk is an author, activist, permaculture designer, and one of the foremost voices in earth-based spirituality. She has lived and worked in collectives for thirty years. Her twelve books include The Spiral Dance, The Fifth Sacred Thing, The Earth Path, and her first picture book for children, The Last Wild Witch. Her book on group dynamics, The Empowerment Manual: A Guide for Collaborative Groups, is available from New Society.

He is the founder of the 12 Principles Permaculture Design consultancy, and is focused on facilitating permaculture teacher trainings.

LOCATION – PROJECT
– Mas Alavall –
Céret – Pyrénées catalanes – close to Perpignan – 6 ha – rainfall 650 mm – mediterranean climate
Mas Alavall is a 6 ha farm in Céret, in French North Catalunya area. It is ten minutes from the village, his modern art museum and local shops. Farm activities stopped forty years ago. It used to host cows, sheeps, pigs and chickens mixed with tree crops.
Beauty is everywhere in Mas Alavall, bordered by three rivers, including Le Tech. Mas Alavall is a preserved place with a high permacultural and agricultural potential.
We installed the headquarters of Permaterra in December 2016. After some renovations during 2017, Mas Alavall will host the Permaterra Training Center and its design office.
The vocation of the place is to produce, experiment, learn and transmit.
Currently we are working on the building part of the site. A polyculture / livestock project, planned for 2018, is currently being developed in accordance with the principles of permaculture and regenerative agriculture.
Participate in the design process of the site and connect to our local and international network!
