What is Permaculture?
While permaculture is often thought of as just a gardening and farming methods, it has many more applications for our well-being, effectiveness, community building, social structures, education, health-care and businesses.
What is Cultural Emergence?
It is a toolkit and book written by Looby Macnamara Emergence initiates breakthroughs that expand our thinking and enable us to build personal and collective resilience, and embody new ways of being and interacting. It nourishes and empowers us to design the world we want to live in.

Updates to Our Website
Like a well tended garden, occasionally websites need weeding, mulching and to be reimagined, with new seeds sown and plants removed. At the moment we are in the process of making updates to our pages. If you can’t find what you are looking for or have a question please email us at applewoodcourses@yahoo.com

Cultural Emergence Empowerment & Design Deck - The CEED Deck
Open for Pre-Orders
Looby has created a hand drawn card deck that shares thinking tools, design tools, connection tools and reflection tools. Each of the 96 cards has beautiful artwork and wisdom for playful engagement and easy access. While it is a great companion to Looby’s books, People and Permaculture and Cultural Emergence the deck is also accessible for those completely new to Cultural Emergence and permaculture.
We are now ready to take pre-orders for the Empowerment deck which will be available later in 2023
