Permaculture Immersion

We are thrilled to be reviving Panya Forest as an international hotspot for the learning of permaculture skills! After nearly a decade of dormancy, we are excited to have legendary Permaculture Design instructor Brandon Bodhi Denton (from Woven Earth fame) returning to the forest once again to share his passion for living well in a place. In addition to a thorough week of hands on learning we will also be joined by one of Chiang Mai’s most beloved yoga teachers and blues musicians! Each morning we will begin with proper asana and end each day in song.
