Welcome to Permaculture Hive

HIVE is a global permaculture learning community for people in permaculture - the hub for current members and graduates of all Permaculture Education Institute programs .

... a space to keep learning and growing skills

Here at HIVE, together we continue to amplify our skills and experience, learning and sharing, finding our niches, collaborating on research and projects, connecting with aligned networks, hosting sessions to keep growing and learning as professional permaculture practitioners, designers, communicators and educators.

... a place to stay connected

We know that taking a permaculture course is often a life-changing experience - a moment of transition.  Hive members stay connected and be part of the myceliating movement for positive practical living.  

... a forum to find your flow

In the world today it is even more important to add compost to our permaculture skills, knowledge and experience and share them as widely as possible. We know that more people making permaculture their way of life and 'alivelihood', the better things are going to be - more regenerative, more resilient, and more robust. Get connected, be inspired, grow your skills, find your flow.

Amazing Community!

There are people from all around the world here exploring how to nourish, enhance and grow their personal and professional permaculture skills. 

Hive is the place you will find our events, resource sharing, mentoring, informal chats, cross-pollination sessions, forums and community - course specific rooms and collaborative spaces.
