Permaculture is holistic, ecological design system focused on meeting human needs while preserving and helping to restore the natural environment. Join Permaculture Design Educator Charles Williams, along with local guest instructors, as they share ways in which permaculture can provide practical, hands-on solutions to address both local and global issues.
The internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) will be offered through the Deanery Project in six modules spread over eight months. The PDC is a combination of hands-on and theoretical learning. The curriculum includes in-depth permaculture theory, design methodology, practical exercises, and group projects. Course content was developed by Bill Mollison in the 1970’s, and is today regarded as the standard in permaculture education, recognized and respected worldwide.
In order to make PDC course content available to as many people as possible, we have created an option to register for the modules individually, however all six need to be completed to receive a PDC.
Full PDC (6 modules) is $1500 + HST. Individual modules are $300 + HST. Prices include meals, dormitory and camping accommodation, as well as instruction. There are Bed & Breakfast options nearby. A complete course package will be sent out upon registration.
There is a discounted price for those not requiring on-site accommodation. This would apply if you opt to take a bed and breakfast in the area. Please email thedeaneryproject@gmail.com if you do not require on-site accommodations.
A few work trade positions for both the full PDC and individual modules are available. Please contact us directly for more information if you would like to apply for one of these, or should you have any other questions. tel. 902-845-1888

The Deanery Project is a not-for-profit organization with a focus on the environment, youth and community, natural building, and the arts. We are open year round offering programs and projects connected to a wide variety of learning, recreational, and research opportunities, especially those related to energy, forests, health, active transportation and rural living.
The Deanery Project is located on a beautiful 25-acre ocean-front property just 65 km east of Halifax, in Lower Ship Harbour on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. Our facilities include a spacious community hall; a commercial kitchen; dorm-style accommodations; unique outdoor classrooms, and diverse camping, hiking and bicycling trails. The property extends to the shoreline of Ship Harbour providing water access to the protected wilderness areas of Ship Harbour Long Lake, Tangier Grand and the 100 Wild Islands.
