Registration for our flexibly priced digital Introduction to Permaculture Workshop is now open!

​

Are you interested in applying sustainable design concepts to your life and building symbiotic relationships between the land, yourself, and your community?

​

This workshop is designed for individuals who are curious about permaculture but are unsure where to begin. It covers permaculture principles, ethics, history, design tools, and an urban permaculture case study.

​

We believe in making knowledge accessible to all, which is why we offer tiered pricing options (choose from $15, $25, or $45) to accommodate various budgets. Additionally, we're committed to ensuring accessibility for all participants, with features such as closed captioning and downloadable video transcripts.

​

This project is funded by the Government of Canada's Community Services Recovery Fund. The Community Services Recovery Fund is a $400 million investment from the Government of Canada to support community service organizations, including charities, nonprofits and Indigenous governing bodies, as they adapt and modernize their organizations.

RESES's Roots

Who we are

Rhizome Eco-Social Education Society, or RESES for short, is a registered non-profit organization that promotes ecological design education in the community. We are based in Kelowna, BC on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Syilx/Okanagan Nation.

 

​Vision

Our vision is of an inclusive community where everyone has access to knowledge and educational spaces that promote sustainability.



Mission

We are a collaborative organization with a mission to empower individuals and communities by creating inclusive and accessible ecological education programs and demonstration projects.

 

Mandate
Our mandate is to deliver free and low cost opportunities for community members to access ecological education programming. This includes meet ups, workshops, and courses. We also design and develop community-based demonstration sites where this programming can take place. We often work in collaboration with other organizations to make the best use of the diverse strengths already present in our community.
