Global warming... Peak oil... Toxic food... Poisoned water... Chemical methods can't clean up the mess. Transnational corporations won't clean up the mess. Earth's people are paralyzed by the shocking state of their world today. Sounds like it's time for some radical sustainability and regenerative activism!

For all EAT and Permaculture First Responder alumni, graduates from similar permaculture programs, and people who have deep permie experience! The Earth and her people need your help now more than ever. While many despair of surviving the current "long catastrophe," We know that another world - beautiful, bountiful, balanced - is absolutely possible through the principles and practices of permaculture.

$1300 if you have abundance in the form of money
$1000 if you are working and solvent

Work Trade:

We offer a limited amount of work trade positions for adults only per course. Students are required to pay half or more of one of the above sliding scale prices, pay a deposit, and be willing to come early and stay late to the course. Additionally, work traders are required to submit a work trade application and personal letter letting us know what your specific skills are. More information can be found on the work trade page.

Occasionally Earth Activist Training is able to provide full EAT scholarships (100% tuition without exchanging work hours). If you request a full scholarship without work-trade, please mention this in your application letter, and tell us why. More information can be found on the work-trade/scholarship page.

While EAT cannot offer refunds, deposits and course fees may be applied to a future course in the case of a cancellation up to 30 days before the course start date.
We understand that many of the very people we most want in the course-activists, youth, small farmers, people from poor communities - just don't have a lot of money. So we work hard to make this training accessible to as many people as possible.
