Permaculture, earth-based spirituality, organizing and activism…
with Starhawk and a team of stellar teachers and designers.

An Earth Activist Training can set your life on a new path…or show you how to save the world. Green solutions are sprouting up all around us, but permaculture shows us how to weave them together into systems that can meet human needs and regenerate the natural world. Practical earth healing, with a magical base of ritual and nature awareness. Teaching that integrates mind and heart, with lots of hands-on practice and plenty of time to laugh.

Our two week intensives are Permaculture Design Certificate Courses, offering the basic, internationally-recognized 72 hour permaculture curriculum with an additional focus on social permaculture, organizing tools, and spirit.

EAT in Bayview Hunters Point:

Since 2006 Earth Activist Training has been working to support two community gardens in Bayview Hunters Point, a predominantly African-American, low-income, inner city neighborhood in San Francisco. Take a look at our Bayview Hunters Point page for information on this fantastic project.

EAT's Mission Statement:

"To bring the knowledge and resources of regenerative ecological design to communities with the greatest needs and fewest resources.

To teach visionary and practical solutions and personal sustainability to social change activists, and to teach practical skills, organizing and activism to visionaries.

To cross-pollinate the political, environmental and spiritual movements that seek peace, justice, and resilience."
