TO WHOM WE RECOMMEND

In contrast to the general knowledge courses "Introduction to Permaculture" and PDC, we will now dig deeper into the waters of practical implementation.

If you're building self-sufficiency and independence, the first thing you'll want to learn and practice.

If you want to learn about the most commonly used natural material in the last millennia, adobe, and the low tech solutions that build on it, this is the perfect time.

• finding, extracting and transporting loam
• kneading and spreading the loam
• plastering the mud wall

• regenerative landscape management
• mandala beds

About Oasis Community

Oasis is a pilot project, launched at the end of 2021, in which we are amplifying and testing on a large scale new (human) ecological coexistence patterns under the umbrella of regenerative development.

We dare to dream big, and we have brought together in a broad collaboration all the professionals whose cooperation is essential to bring to life a livable, positive social vision.

We believe that there is a way out of the ecological, economic and social crises of our time - and that we have the opportunity to arrive at a future that is more peaceful, more abundant, more inclusive and more gentle than any previous era in human history.

We have much to learn and much to practice. To facilitate this, in one of Hungary's first large-scale permaculture projects, we have brought together the worlds of ecology, landscape architecture, architecture, hydro(geo)logics, soil science, regenerative agriculture, forestry, and agro-ecology, human ecology, community building, community enterprise, culture, arts, and more, in a landscape-based project covering 80 hectares, bringing together their perspectives and ideas.

We have spent the last 1.5 years preparing, surveying, planning and planting 60,000 trees. In the spring of 2023, we decided to step out into the light and invite you to come and learn and practice on our permaculture model site, built in the spirit of regenerative development. Our explicit aim is to provide a training ground for professionals who wish to (re)train themselves in a regenerative direction that truly responds to the pressing challenges of our time.
