The #SABERES online course is here!
We at La Casa Integral are pleased to present a newly designed training program. This course teaches you how to design and implement regenerative and resilient strategies for future scenarios in your daily life—starting right from the first module!
Like many others, we take an analytical and critical view of the systemic realities that surround us today. The depletion of resources, widespread pollution of our landscapes and food, energy insecurity, the social and economic vulnerability present in our societies, and, of course, the increasingly evident effects of climate change and the scarcity of fossil fuels lead us to believe that it is time to design a possible future.
Despite everything, we are driven by a steadfast conviction in change—that we are capable of transforming our lives so that we can adapt to what we cannot change or redesign everything that we can. Step by step. With solutions that are sometimes slow and small, and sometimes more significant and decisive.
That’s why we’d like to share a course where you’ll learn how to apply permaculture to your life, your home, your work, and your community…
We’ll share with you the essence of what we’ve learned along the way.
We’ll discuss different
The hybrid format (a blend of theory and best practices, of presentations from us and co-created resources, of online and in-person sessions (optional—check dates and prices), of a more traditional approach to education and a more holistic one…) of the course will allow you to access this valuable content from home and put it into practice in your life right away, without having to travel—unless you’re near La Casa Integral (in La Vallalta, the Maresme, Province of Barcelona, Catalonia) and would like to sign up for the in-person workshops we organize to learn some techniques and build a local network. If that’s not the case, no one can tell you that you can’t replicate it or find it wherever you are!
We offer 12 live, interactive virtual sessions, accompanied by 12 modules featuring pre-recorded/written content and carefully selected resources so you can delve deeper into the topics that interest you most from our range of #SABERES.

The ” Learning by Doing ” component will help you start applying permaculture to your daily life right away. We’ll suggest actions for you to choose from so you can immediately reduce your ecological footprint and increase your positive impact on your surroundings. (Hands-On)
We’ll provide a place where you can share your observations, reflections, questions, and doubts with a community of people who are just as curious and passionate about life as you are. (Heart)
By covering these three branches of a holistic education—in honor of Satish Kumar (Schumacher College, David Orr—Head, Hands, Heart) and the Educació per la Vida Foundation—we believe we can foster networks of people who are more resilient, happier, and healthier!
We are Aline and Juan Pedro, and throughout this course we’ll be sharing with you all of our professional and life experience—gained over the last decade of our lives and beyond—in various fields.
Why choose this course?
Because it is an updated and necessary training for the times we live in.
Because it has a format that allows work and family conciliation, without having to be absent from your home for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.
Because it is given by people who live and practice permaculture on a daily basis designing, training and implementing solutions in varied contexts and with a great diversity of clientele.
Because permaculture is considered (by both the EU and the UN) to be one of the most comprehensive disciplines for developing the regenerative solutions we need for the coming decades (especially during this Decade of Ecosystem Restoration), and we need people who are capable of tackling these challenges.
Because you’ll have unique and exclusive content.
Because we share with you our experience in the professionalization of Permaculture, so that you too can re-design your livelihood to be fair.
Because you’ll meet other people who share your interests.
Because we will address all three ethical principles in every aspect: Caring for the Planet, Caring for People, and Caring for the Future.
Because we love doing fun and entertaining sessions—especially ones where everyone gets involved.
Because it includes design tutorials for the final design groups (in the certificate track; in the non-certificate track, the tutorials are optional and can be purchased separately for your personal design).
Because the time has come to take action for the climate, for the ecosystem, and for humanity.
In another blog post, we go into more detail about the content of each module.
The program will be partially tailored to the specific interests of the group of participants in each session, so not everything will be 100% predictable.
Our programs are dynamic and adapt to the context!
If you wish, you will have the option to earn a Certificate in Permaculture Design (CDP).
To do so,
Aline holds a Diploma in Permaculture (accredited by the Academy of Integral Permaculture at the 2018 European Convergence in Ireland), a tutor at the Iberian Permaculture Academy and a Certified Educator with the British Permaculture Association, and she will ensure that you have mastered the basic concepts of permaculture. Your certificate will be internationally recognized, and you’ll be able to enroll in the diploma program anywhere you choose.
