Rancho Delicioso Permaculture and Yoga Retreat Center

For the sake of civilization, with industrialization and development in this era of consumerism, we are making a lot of changes and alteration in our surrounding nature. As a result we have to experience many types of unprecedented problems and challenges such as climate change, loss of habitat, social disconnection, environmental degradation, lack of food sovereignty and many more. These challenges are happened due to the unsustainable use of finite resources and the western way of living along with the unsustainable farming practices. To overcome these problems we need to make some positive changes. ‘Permaculture’ is a great way to start the positive changes and protect our nature from any kind of danger. Derived from ‘Permanent’ and ‘Culture’, Permaculture is a a philosophy & an approach to land and Yoga is a philosophy of life and an approach to our physical and psychological health. It is based on mimicking efficient patterns and relationships found in nature.

Coined by Aussie farmer Bill Mollison in the 70s, Permaculture has become a big buzzword in the recent years in the landscaping world. This practice allows us to lead a sustainable lifestyle. This practice is based on three ethics-care of the earth, care for people and fair share. By applying these principles in our daily life, we can make the transition from being dependent consumers to becoming responsible producers. We don’t need to be a farmer or an expert in every possible area or nor do we have to learn every skill possible. Anyone can learn about Permaculture by joining a Permaculture course. There are many eco villages and farms which offer Permaculture workshops and volunteer programs. These types of workshops allow us to learn the techniques of creating meaningful connections, the way of making an organic garden, mimicking the nature by working with it rather than against it. We can also learn the techniques of cycling nutrients through garden or cycling resources through our community. If you are interested in going for a vacation and enjoy Permaculture and Yoga retreat, you can choose the organic farm Rancho Delicioso that offers Permaculture and Yoga Course (PYC).
