Permaculture Australia presents . . .
Co-creating the Village
Return to the Village is more than a festival, it's a living, breathing village co-created by the people who gather. Every conversation, workshop, performance, meal, helping hand and shared idea adds something unique to the experience. Whether you're a lifelong permaculture practitioner or bringing your skills for the very first time, you have something valuable to contribute.
If you'd like to be part of shaping the village, we'd love to hear from you. You can volunteer, offer a talk or workshop, share a practical skill or service, bring a market stall, or nominate someone whose knowledge and passion deserve to be part of the journey. Together, we'll create a village that celebrates 50 years of permaculture while planting the seeds for the next 50.
Applications open next week...
