In the run-up to us running four different Permaculture courses here at LaB this October, our Freya tells the story of how she ended up doing her first Permaculture course. By Freya Rawlins I have no land of my own, and yet I was drawn to the Permaculture Design Course (PDC), why? When I first […]
Do you suffer from climate or eco-anxiety? Want to lessen your environmental impact & nudge others towards positive change? Are you wondering what practical things you can do to make a difference? Are you wondering “what’s a Permaculture course?” If any of these questions feel familiar, consider one of our courses this October, if you […]
At La Bruguera, as many of our returning guests, friends, collaborators, cycling buddies and family know, we are responding to increased demand for environmentally educational experiences here. In adding new courses, we have had to be conscious that we don’t exclude certain demographics from this educational offering. Inequality is at the heart of the climate […]
This October we will be hosting four permaculture courses at La Bruguera, run by some great people. from around the world. As we begin our transition to an education-focused tourism business, we’ve been working to offer our community more and more courses on topics we know well, and about which we feel passionate. Last year, […]
It’s been a super busy few weeks here at La Bruguera. We have the luxury of having so many bookings for 2022, that we can afford to spend more time than in previous years on developing our agro-ecological projects, expanding our environmental teaching offering, developing our relationships with institutions and teachers, and improving our facilities. […]
Using Bruguera Jerusalem Artichokes By Mike Duff This time of year means we are swimming in Jerusalem Artichokes (Helianthus Tuberosus) – yum! Lots of people don’t know this humble, super easy-to-grow tuber, native to North America but brought over to Europe ages ago (like me), and it is so versatile and delicious, so we thought […]
by Mike Duff We are now the La Bruguera Degrowth Living Lab! Here’s a little context and history, to explain what this means. Since we met, Michelle and I have been interested in (nay, concerned about) our impact on the planet, from my starting a career in urban sustainability in 2001, us doing an eco-renovation […]
By Freya Rawlins Having a conscious festive season can mean many different things. Being conscious means being aware, whether this is being aware of your surroundings or a situation, I feel it can be applied broadly, and personally I like to apply it to my way of living: being conscious of the planet, the people, […]
We were fortunate to host Rico Zook for a month here at La Bruguera, in November. Rico has almost three decades of experience working in the permaculture realm and is a fountain of knowledge on all things regenerative design. We met him when Mike did a water course of his at Can Lliure earlier this […]

Buy yourself or someone you love, a weekend at La Bruguera, and then cash it in when you’re ready to travel (depending on availability). Your weekend experience includes: 2 nights […]
By Mike Duff Michelle and I, the co-owners and co-directors of La Bruguera, have been moderately loud-mouthed about environmental and social justice for over two decades now. Putting the planet first is what we do: Michelle through her activist art and social work, myself (Mike) through my work as a sustainability consultant for long-term regional […]
Our previous blog post covered the philosophical journey we were sent on by the first lockdown here in Catalonia, and in this post we are going to get real, and tell you about how we intend to put our learning into permaculture practice at La Bruguera, and how we’d even like you to get involved. […]
As many countries around the world have just entered their second lockdown, and Catalonia is in what the Generalitat calls semi-lockdown, we thought we would reflect on our experience from the first time round, earlier this year, and what we learned and how we adjusted here at La Bruguera. There was a lot of Permaculture […]
Pilates and yoga were, (and still are) a big part of my weekly routine in those formative years as an amateur cyclist. The year I started Pilates funnily enough coincided with one of the best years of my life on the bike. Co-incidence? I don’t think so. That being said, when I turned pro and […]
