Permaculture
Design Summit
Five days. Twelve world-class designers. Zero cost to attend live.
For permaculture practitioners ready to move from passionate side projects to a professional design practice — finally.
You’re creating permaculture designs with passion — but they are not yet supporting the livelihood you know is possible.
This 5 day online summit gives you
tangible design skills,
meaningful connections, and practical tools to help you move from amateur designs to professional.
Join us if you’re ready to…
1. Learn how professionals actually design.
Understand how experienced permaculture designers structure projects, price services, present proposals, and manage clients sustainably.
2. Connect with serious practitioners.
Meet designers committed to raising their standards and building real careers.
3. Build your 2026 roadmap.
Join interactive workshops to get feedback, refine your systems, and identify where you are losing time or income.
4. Continue with mentorship through PINA membership.
PINA members receive ongoing mentorship and support as needed, so you can keep refining your professional practice long after the summit ends.
