Best

I've enjoyed the easy to understand course work.

Worst

All reviews seem positive

I enjoyed their instructions very much 7/5/2016

The community was by far the best aspect of the course for me. I felt a lot of trust and compassion from each fellow participant and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them and having interesting conversations. I also feel like I learned a lot from the instructors, site visits, and heart of now. Larry and Shaktari were both very knowledgeable and kind; I enjoyed their instruction very much. All of the sites were very interesting. I personally liked Lost Valley the best and getting to build the cob house. more

I will certainly vouch for this ride 7/5/2016

I will certainly vouch for this ride. I have never been on another bike tour, but I would feel safe assuming that this one is among the best. Anybody else who went on the tour with me will confirm that beforehand I was freaking out and I got to Portland without even a bike (I couldn't afford to get my bike on the plane) but they helped me find a bike rental. I made some of my best friends on this trip and I opened up in a way like never before. The hosts you stay with provide such an enriching vision of the world and it's such a relief to be on a trip with people you can really connect with off the bat. more

Instructors were very knowledgable, positive and very helpful 7/3/2016

I thought the instructors were very knowledgable, positive and very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed them. Very diverse experience & views of permaculture. It was an amazing experience. It really opened up my mind on what true sustainable living looks like & how important all living things are to the quality & health of my life & the planet. I am forever changed. I made some amazing connections that I will keep forever. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect, peaceful place to reside. Amazing energy, very beautiful hosts, and an incredible example of sustainable living with the earth. more

I loved the course site and our host 7/3/2016

I was inspired and deeply appreciative of the level of quality in he instruction and the level of personal engagement with the instructors who were all clearly moved and motivated by the material at hand. The site visits were really interesting and informative. I especially enjoyed meeting Harry and visiting Sunbow farms. All of the sites were unique in there own way and it was inspiring to see how the ideal of permaculture could be implemented in such a variety of ways and scales. I do wish that the service projects could have been more intentionally instructive in teaching us skills related to creating permacultured environments (ie: caring for chickens, building natural structures, harvesting and planting edible landscapes). However, the inclusion of service projects are in and of themselves fantastic in showing gratitude to our hosts and getting a feel for their daily lives. more

Site was a perfect location for our course 7/3/2016

The classroom had no walls, it wasn't a single place or persons. I learned and shared with peers in an open community atmosphere. each and every person gave to me a special gift - and my life has changed! I miss everyone. The site visits were very thought provoking and a true treat. Each place different and special in its own right - it was an important factor in the journey to see so many examples of change. I think the site was a perfect location for our course - very beautiful! Steve and I really enjoyed camping under the pear tree. it was inspiring to be camping out in a transformed urban backyard - it made to content of the course a lived in reality. more

It was an incredible group 7/3/2016

I loved all the places, and all the hosts. I thought the hosts were really wonderful people and I loved to hear them talk about their experiences. I was happy to be helping our hosts, so for that the projects were great. And of course it is lovely to work outside and to be a part of a farm for a day. I enjoyed that aspect, to be sure. My favorite part was the people, I thought it was an incredible group and I really enjoyed spending time with all of them. more

I would recommend day trips 7/2/2016

The sites were a nice mix of places, in different stages of development. It would be nice to stay at more places but I understand the logistics of moving every day would be tough. I would recommend day trips to other sites for the free days if feasible. It would be ok if service projects were longer and/or more difficult, it felt good to give back to our hosts. more

Good range of sites and interesting people 7/2/2016

I loved eating fresh blackberries at John's. I liked the biking portion a lot - really what I wanted to do. I learned a lot about bikes and riding. Good range of sites and interesting people (farmers) visited. Good to see what things are involved in living off the land in a smaller than commercial manner. more

There is never a shortage of fun and learning 7/2/2016

I love watching how everything unfolds in each and every group. From the group dynamics and communication, to lasting bonds and new ways of seeing the world, there is never a shortage of fun and learning. These orientations continue to bring people together that might not otherwise have had the chance to meet, learn, share, and grow in the amazing group we all become. Dharmalaya is truly a feast for the senses. I am always excited to partake in the service projects on the tours. I look forward to the next way to get my hands dirty. more

Matt & Cindy were great hosts 7/1/2016

John Sundquist and Harry McCormick's farms were fascinating. Would have loved to have more in depth presentations at both. Matt and Cindy were great hosts and their farm was instructive as well. Because of the people involved, this was an awesome experience. We were able to form a really tight community and I have stayed and will stay connected with many of the amazing people I met on this tour. Many new possibilities have opened for me as a result. more

I think it worked out well! 7/1/2016

I was impressed and excited by what was described and presented on the website for what to expect from the course, as it was exactly what I was looking for at the time. I thought all of the sites and hosts were engaging, inspiring, thought provoking and beautiful. I really enjoyed the opportunity to experience many types of farms and the different ways the farm owners approached different methods of growing food organically. I loved all of the sites for different reasons. I think it worked out well! more

Great Learning Experience 7/1/2016

Sunbow Farm was exceptional. The work day was very educational and working with the primarily women's group stringing garlic was a great get-acquainted exercise. Great learning experience, just for the Dharmalaya site itself! more

Loved the obvious passion and commitment of the teachers 7/1/2016

Thought it was all very interesting and raised by excitement level about the class. Loved the obvious passion and commitment of the teachers and the great wealth of information all of them were. I thought the group of students were on the whole very supportive of each other and that was a wonderful part of the experience. I thought Saundra was artful and thoughtful in her handling of the class, support of each student and knowledge she had to offer. more

Great time learning 6/30/2016

First time to spend so many days in Fort Mason. A beautiful site. Historical buildings with high ceiling. Natural lights and air circulation created a pleasant learning location. Excellent instructors sharing their knowledge. Non traditional educational style, less on the lectures and more on the sharing and interactive exercises. I consider these 5 days well spent. Since I didn't have any expectation about the course, everything is a learning experience for me. Fellow classmates were all dynamic community proactivists. Great to spent the time learning and connecting with various instructors and participants. more

Fascinating, friendly and well-educated group of people 6/29/2016

I enjoyed the community setting, the classrooms and the opportunity to see the splendor of the bay and Golden Gate Bridge on a daily basis. The highlight was the fascinating, friendly and well-educated group of people who attended. I feel very fortunate to have had contact with so many of these folks and continue to keep in touch with many. The experienced could have been greatly enhanced by offering evening discussions or activities in the area. more
