I'm a trained Naturopath & Bodyworker running my family's B&B in central London www.stathanshotel.com, which I'm in the process of turning it into a sustainably-conscious business. I discovered Permaculture while wwoofing in Oz many years ago, since then it has greatly informed my life. A few years back I finally did a design course with David Holmgren, Tony Anderson and George Sobol, it was then that I decided I'd like to play a more active role using Permaculture in Britain. I am particularly interested in Urban Permaculture, using Permaculture design principles and ethics in business development models (ie. Ethically retro-fitting existing businesses), and in invisible relationship structures in communities. As the Chair of the Permaculture Association I intend to use my knowledge and energy to help move Permaculture forward in this time of great change, to be a part of the solution.
