Course Overview
This course is designed for those who want to go deeper in the understanding of regenerative design. Together, we will put theory into practice, experimenting with different aspects of Permaculture Design.
Wether you have done a PDC course and want to learn more or you are the "learning by doing" type of person, this course is the perfect way to get grounded learning that is not just based on theory! If you are new to this world, we will go from the ground up and if you have a solid interest in the topic you are most welcome!
The program
If you are serious about learning something, there is no better way than getting your hands dirty and doing it!
Here is a list of the topics that we will cover during our time together:
- How to maintain and establish different types of agroforestry systems
- How to design a vegetable garden
- Compost production
- Wastewater systems
- Water retention and earthworks
- Group dynamics
Note that the exact topics covered during the course will depend on weather conditions, machinery availability and group needs/requests.
The venue
La Colmena is an off-grid regenerative homestead in Murcia, designed and run by Olie Inglis - one of the facilitators of this course. The project involves transforming a former orange monoculture into a regenerative agroforestry system, while integrating systems for solar
energy, rainwater harvesting, efficient irrigation, greywater recycling, composting and soil regeneration. La Colmena serves as a living example of how permaculture principles can be applied to create a resilient and largely self-sufficient homestead.
Oli and his family live on the property, and produce most of their food on the land. Moreover, they run a CSA that provided fresh vegetables and fruits to other families in the area. This project is a great example of just how much can be achieved with a relatively small area.

The Facilitators
Eduardo Terzidis is a storyteller with an ecological heart. His education includes three engineering degrees, a Diploma of Permaculture and many other trainings gathered around the world. He has almost a decade of experience teaching and consulting around the world - with a particular focus in agroforestry and water management in mediterranean and tropical climates - as well as producing films and books.
Eduardo is also a trained yoga practitioner, which brings a human dimension to the way in which he sees regeneration. He strongly believes that regeneration needs to be carried from the inside out first, and his approach to courses and projects reflects this philosophy.
Oli Inglis is a permaculture designer and educator, founder of Project Permacultura and a member of Mano Verde Comando Agroforestal, where he develops projects focused on soil
regeneration, self-sufficiency and regenerative agriculture in Murcia, Spain.
Oli's work focused on Permaculture design, Syntropic Agriculture, regenerative water and soil management, natural building, landscape regeneration, composting and closed-loop self-sufficiency systems. Through Project Permacultura he focuses on demonstrating how practical, productive and resilient systems can regenerate ecosystems while providing food, resources and wellbeing
for people.
