Second, I attended Darren Doherty’s Rex10 course in California. This was his first REX course, and is the foundation of the book Darren’s writing. Here’s what I wrote in a review on my other blog, twovisionspermaculture.com:
"Let me start off
by saying that I was blown away by this course. The Regrarians platform fills the major gap in professional sustainable land management & design. Permaculture teaches principles, a new way of thinking & ethics, and it was the lingua franca of the students at this course. Holistic Management is the best management system and decision-making protocol for regenerative land use that I am aware of. What both permaculture and HM lack is the process for design.
This is what the REX course does; it gives a process for integrating permaculture design & HM into a cohesive whole. Together, the 3 of them form a framework and foundation to create professional designs & plans that are effective, efficient, and appropriate to the context you're in. As such, I consider this course essential for anybody serious about becoming a professional in the field of designing regenerative land and water use."
I am still processing everything I learned in Darren’s course, but I do know that it has changed a great deal about how I will approach designing for clients in the future.
It’s also changing how we're going to evolve the Sustainable Design Masterclass.
If you have a chance to attend the course, I highly recommend it.
We appreciate the great feedback we are hearing from you on our webinars and on our site, both the good and the bad. The more we hear from you, the better we’ll get. Our goal is to help transition as many people as possible to doing regenerative, profitable work.
In the meantime, I'll be here in Saudi Arabia, putting what I've learned into practice.
