As something new, Medicine Ways Co-operative offers a 2-Day Visit to our renovated Blackship in Falköping

The weekend stay comes complete with

• Bed and breakfast in a 350 m2 fully functional, sustainable housing unit
• Introduction Course to Permaculture Biotecture and the fundamental principles of sustainable culture
• Meals and snacks prepared from our own ecological farm
• A diploma and a souvenir from our gift shop
• A guided tour of the 6 acres meters of land with the natural machinery that produces sustenance for a family ad perpetuity with an absolute minimal negative impact on the ecosystem

Learn how the lessons from the Midgaard Blackship scales to your project, whether it is a full time or part time habitation dome, a group or community project. Find out how you preserve your crops from wildlife without using depletive measures, how to use natural microbiology to your advantage and what to do to make the most of your composting.

For those interested, we will also present:

• The 25 hour working week for Caretaker Bands

• An upkeep plan for all field active Caretakers on one or more Medicine Ways landbase
  

• Principles for collective funding of land, materials, tools and seed (cooperative economy)
