Eco-Zoetic Courses
The behavioural side of permaculture.
Most of what Daruma teaches is about doing: the physical systems of a permaculture site. Eco-Zoetic is about living: the habits, culture and daily choices permaculture design has to answer for too.
Three threads run through it so far. We are still shaping these courses into full syllabuses, so consider this page a signpost rather than a prospectus for now.
Three threads, one family.
- Thai massage
- Traditional Thai bodywork, taught as a practical skill alongside the farm's other hands-on courses.
- Frugal hedonism
- Living well by wanting less: enjoying what a simple, low-input life already provides.
- RetroSuburbia
- David Holmgren's model for retrofitting ordinary suburban homes and habits for a lower-energy future.
Where it sits
Part of a bigger plan.
Right now Daruma runs two courses: the nine-day Permaculture Design Course and a two-day introduction, both at Mosaic School. Eco-Zoetic is one of the strands the school is rebuilding towards, alongside natural building, farm skills and food alchemy.
