The August PDC will have two wonderful and very experienced caterers, Yoav and Donna, who with their team, each create our meals for a week and who often join together to provide a feast for our Celebration and Completion evening.

Here's a little about Yoav and his business 'Good Food Vibe' ❤️

"Wholesome meals made from scratch, crafted with care and intention. Every dish is rooted in nourishment, using clean, high-quality ingredients chosen for their freshness, flavor, and integrity. Simple yet illustrious, our food celebrates purity, balance, and the quiet luxury of eating well. It provides warmth, joy, and a sense of abundance. Thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and always made with heart — this is food that feeds more than just your appetite."

We're only 3 weeks out from our next Crystal Waters Permaculture Design Course (PDC) and are keen for you to join us to make it even bigger and better. It's a two week fully immersive and residential training and Ecovillage living experience with all meals provided. It will offer a huge upgrade in design thinking and practice, involving sessions with practical skills and info about Permaculture principles, topography, soils, water and dams, gardening, orchards and composting etc, Integrated Pest Management, seed saving, grey water systems and many other land based topics PLUS a focus on people skills, localisation, community building and permaculture lifestyles. Many tours, site visits, hand's on activities and films are woven in. The culmination is an in depth design exercise on a real site so people get to practice all the skills and design stages to then implement at home or inform land purchases or community involvement. Please make contact by Monday if possible - Robin Clayfield hosts this course on behalf of Crystal Waters Eco Village's Community Cooperative, for which this course is a fund raiser. Bruce Gibson is the Co organiser and will be the one you'll connect with for registration. Thanks so much and hope to see you in 3 weeks.
