Permaculture Events in North America
PINA endorses the offerings of our diplomates, and lists them on this calendar to help you find quality education. All gatherings are either supported directly by PINA or have one of our diplomates or board members working on the organizing team.
All PINA-recognized PDCs meet or exceed the 72-hour curriculum standard. Our listings highlight unique qualities of each course. Click here to learn about the Permaculture Design Course.
North American scale gatherings, advanced certificate courses, and online PDCs may be found in our Continental listings on the left. Regional gatherings, PDCs, and workshops can be found using the interactive map on the right. To see selective lists, for example to compare PDCs, use the buttons above each group.

THIS WINTER WE DREAM; THE ECO-FUTURE BECKONS. Hazel will unfold a vision of community coming together to repair eco-system functions by facilitating the return of Salmon, Beaver, and Fire. We celebrate the writing of Kim Stanley Robinson, author of several visionary science fiction books that explore the application of permaculture. We all need visions of positive and practical efforts to slow the Sixth Extinction and stabilize planetary ecosystems. We can move forward without the brittle and inappropriate institutions of the last half millennium. Our lives together will be sweeter as we learn to cooperate and grow into People of Place.
