Permaliving is a San Antonio-based permaculture design and education
company practicing the art and science of creating community eco-systems
in which plants, animals, human beings, and all forms of ecological diversity
interact to produce a prolific, ecologically-sound, and regenerative system
that can support itself indefinitely.
The focus of permaculture is to design and establish societal systems that
provide for humanity’s material and non-material needs such as food, water,
shelter, energy, and health in a way that is symbiotic and synergistic with
the earth’s natural ecosystems.
Through the application of the principles of permaculture, PermaLiving's
ecological designs provide our clients and students with self-sustaining
landscapes that offer a bounty of perennial delights for the kitchen or to
benefit urban wildlife.
From water-wise plantings to rain water harvesting, PermaLiving's
ecological designs maximize the natural functions of your home, business,
or neighborhood landscapes while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing
overall appearance.
We are currently hosting weekly educational workshops throughout the
year on various topics which include:
Permaculture Design • Observation & Nature Awareness • Indigenous
Wisdom • Natural Pattern Recognition • Pattern Design and Biomimicry •
Bird Language & Tracking • Water on the Landscape • Swales, Keyline, &
Pond Building • Aquaculture • Rain Harvesting & Catchments • Grey Water
& Bioremediation • Natural Building • Organic Gardening • Forest Ecology •
Food Forest Gardening • Agro-Forestry • Soil Ecology & Soil Building •
Appropriate Technology • Alternative & Renewable Energy • Urban
Permaculture • Mushrooms/Myco-Remediation • Animals in the System
Designer's Tools • Maps and Mapping • Zones, Site Analysis • Design
Projects • Hands-On Activities • Social Permaculture • Eco-Village Design •
Cultural Mentoring • Zone Zero • Invisible Structures • Green Economics •
Archetypal Biology • Biodynamic Farming
We aim to liberate people everywhere to be able to provide for their families
and community's food, energy, and shelter needs by maximizing the
potential of the smallest practical area of land. We'll help you design a
decent lifestyle without exploitation or pollution.
PermaLiving is wholly committed to assisting people through our holistic
permaculture education, while creating a better quality of life in an
environmentally sensitive and sustainable manner.
Our goal is to maintain a dynamic work environment that gives each partner
opportunities for right livelihood and an enhanced sense of purpose,
participation, and accomplishment.
