Teach with CPI
If you have skills or knowledge you’d like to share with the CPI community by hosting a workshop, class, permablitz or implementation, or other educational event, we want to talk! We are currently booking events for fall/winter 2026.
Permaculture includes many disciplines, from garden and food forest planning, to natural building and renewable energy, to raising animals, to collecting and using rainwater, to preserving and preparing food, to market gardening, to indigenous wisdom and mind-body wellness. We welcome teachers with experience and insight in any topic tied to permaculture and sustainable living by design!
