Teachers
Geoffroy Godeau – From Belgium, Geoffroy graduated in landscape architecture. He discovered permaculture in Nicaragua, while traveling the world. A co-founder of Surplus Permaculture, Geoffroy has been living on and off at the Panya Project, Thailand, for the last five years, learning and teaching permaculture with a big focus on natural building.
Gregory Crawford – Gregory Crawford has a decade of work experience on small-scale, organic, community-supported farms in Washington State. Also a co-founder of Surplus, Gregory has spent a number of years at The Panya Project in Thailand from its founding years, facilitating many courses and managing the natural building sites. He has gone on to study and develop sustainable urban development, unconventional homesteading and innovative material reuse and is transforming a neglected block in Detroit into an urban permaculture centre.
