Already for the third season, we cordially invite you to the spring and summer course of natural design. The course is dedicated to Investors, Designers, Students and anyone who wants to learn how to create natural, healthy places. It is recommended to pass the three parts of the course, but it is not required, you can take part in any that interests you :). THE COURSE IS ONLY IN POLISH.
- Part one (May 2‑5, 2019) The course is an introduction to the world of natural design, investment preparation and analysis. We outline a wide context of issues and factors to be taken into account. We focus on the context and relationship with the environment. We will also design eco-habitat. Before you go further it is the necessary knowledge to recognize the possibilities, the elements that should be included in the whole, technologies and acquire basic skills of analysis and sketching ideas. This will allow you to make informed decisions in further stages.
- Part two (22‑25 August 2019) The course focuses on practical project issues. We will touch issues related to the village and the city and the assumptions of living together. We will show you how to design a natural house, eco-village and an ecological estate in the city. We will show how to design with a cost estimate (construction costs, how decisions affect costs), we will also discuss the most common mistakes in implementation and construction sites.
- Part three (in 2020)
The course focuses on issues of self-sufficiency from the resource point of view (compost, water, energy, food, legal issues). We will design an autonomous house. In this context, we will also discuss the most common questions from investors to the designer.

Ben Lazar – Permaculture teacher, designer of gardens and parks. He traveled the world and in various places he learned and practiced permaculture. He lectures on permaculture: from the history of ideas, ethical principles and ecosystem design – in Warsaw, Wroclaw and Krakow – he travels around the country as an "apostle" of a healthy worldview :-) In practice, I realize the KOS social garden in Krzemionki, which becomes a model permacultural project for the city .
