Join us for an immersive 2-day experience learning Permaculture practices tailored for Northern Portugal.
Permaculture is an ecological design system aimed at creating sustainable, productive, and resilient environments inspired by natural processes. It is based on three ethical principles: care for the Earth, care for people, and fair sharing of surplus.
Using practices like agroforestry, composting, and rainwater harvesting, permaculture aims to establish closed cycles and efficient systems. With 12 design principles—such as observing the environment and valuing renewable resources—permaculture applies not only to agriculture but also to everyday life, promoting a conscious, balanced lifestyle in harmony with the ecosystem.
SKILLS FOR SUSTAINABILITY & COMMUNITY

This program is for you if you feel that permaculture is the path to follow, but you're looking for a solid foundation of knowledge and practical skills.
At Casa de ZENue, we support one another in a gentle transition towards a more sustainable and harmonious way of life. Here, we connect with nature, ourselves, and the community around us through hands-on experiences and practical tools. Permaculture is accessible to everyone who’s open to seeing challenges as opportunities—it’s not just for farmers or those living in rural areas. No matter where or how you live, and whatever your circumstances, together we’ll discover that each of us has valuable skills that can be applied daily to make a positive impact on the planet.
Throughout the course, you’ll dive into the world of permaculture, exploring its core principles and ethics. We’ll cover topics such as gardening, natural building, community living practices, sustainable technology, and much more. To keep the learning engaging and effective, we blend theory with practical activities. On the first day, we’ll take a tour around Casa de ZENue, where we’ll introduce the space, share our lifestyle, and explain the sustainable solutions we’ve implemented.

Enrolled member of the Numunu (Comanche) Nation and deep lover of the intelligence of the wild. Permaculture teacher, student, and practitioner. RC received their permaculture design certificate with Shad Qudsi at Atitlan Organics in Tzununa, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
They received their permaculture teacher training certificate with Jude Hobbs of Cascadia Permaculture and Rico Zook at La Loma Viva in Gualchos, Granada, Spain.
RC has been a lifelong devotee of nature, striving to think like a forest and raised with a love for the serendipity of soil. his main source of inspiration is the continuous wonder of nature itself and the humbling knowledge and resilience of indigenous communities, their ancestry, and the debt permaculture and society itself owe to the wisdom of people who came before and tended this land.
