Teachers



 * Our teachers are local growers, gardeners, community activists, urban farmer/philosphers, foragers, handy fixit folk, designers, permaculturists, herbalists, healers, and cooks who teach basic skills and techniques.
 * Skill is crucial but so is a warm, engaging personality and an ability to plan and follow through.
 * Formal training, or not. We rely on the reputation economy to find teachers and our own and students experience.
 * This is a learning community. All students are potential teachers.

Mostly new teachers are first invited to teach a free learning party. Suggested donations $25 per 1.5 session. //The Sustainable Living Arts School hosts learning parties where the subject is anything that helps us to live more lightly. We're inspired by permaculturists, 100 mile dieters ('cept for chocolate etc), slow foodies herbalists, alternative energy folk, natural builders and thrifty, handy people everywhere. You can't put a price on a learning party. Or at least we don't want to. That said, we want to honour the time and experience that goes into crafting a good workshop. **The suggested donation is $25.** If you can afford more, we'll put it towards making more learning parties happen. If you can afford less, come on down and share your learning with us.//

Want to teach with us? Pitch us an idea!

We want to offer our teachers:
 * The **benefits of a wide network** to promote other related projects and businesses. i.e . Suzy Wan is a teacher with the Sustainable Living Arts School and a gardener with "Organic Edibles" a garden coaching service in Vancouver, BC.
 * An **ongoing learning community**. 1) A regular opportunity to meet-up, try out and discuss ideas and projects. 2) Support in using the web effectively to reflect, research, express and connect when meeting up isn't possible
 * **Right livelihood**. A freelance income to supplement other activities. And who knows? Perhaps with funding some ongoing positions
