The Chileno Institute of Permaculture has been an experimental approach to the design of an Institute of Permaculture. From the beginning we set out to create a system based on the learning by error of the whole permaculture network worldwide.
The Chileno Permaculture experiment is not without roots. Chile has a long history, hidden by the Pinochet government and its shock doctrine, of cooperative efforts. The government of alliende was attempting to run the country as a cooperative of cooperatives in the 70's and with Stafford Beer onboard, was on the leading edge of comunications technology and participatory democracy.
As the permaculture community heads to Jordan, the Chileno example offers some hope of forms of organisation that can be both emergent and innovative, while ordered and formal.
Join us in September as we prepare for Cuba 2013 for deep insights into how to design for learning communities in the age of uncertainty.
El Manzano Permaculture does Regenerative Design. We create beautiful & resilient human settlements that restore ecology, strengthen community, and stimulate local economy. We can handle every aspect of landuse projects, from initial project creation to design, planning, implementation and ongoing maintenance.
Established in 2007 AppleTree Permaculture is a recognised market leader working at the forefront of innovative and sustainable land-use strategies, urban design, and landscape development in Chile.
We are a collaborative team of landscape designers, ecologists, rural planners,

The week 5-9th of May 2010 team El Manzano was hosted in Millenrama, Mantagua, 5th region to run an Applied Permaculture Design course.
As El Manzano tests ideas for assisting people and communities to engage in transition and design for resilient human settlements, the team develops competency in the delivery of catalytic learning events, in facilitation and leadership by design. As the experience is reviewed once again it is confirmed that there is no power equal to a community deciding what it will become.
