Déva’s (Marcus Thomson’s) Bio:

Déva is the founder and lead teacher (specializing in dynamic teaching for adult learners) with Permaculture Miami- generating sustainable designs and new designers since 2008 throughout south Florida and the world. He has produced many permaculture design projects and has led countless workshops, events, courses and retreats in India, Thailand and Australia to Colombia, England, Spain, Scotland, Costa Rica, Cuba and throughout the US.

My intention is to follow suit with these permaculture principles where ever life may lead me, knowing that all things are gracefully received as I give out my creative expression in divine perfection.

About us: Permaculture Miami for many who know the term almost sounds like an oxymoron. The idea of a large Metropolitan area being sustainable seems far fetched. Responding to that notion, we have planted a prominent mark of Permaculture right in the heart of Miami; obliterating any position stagnating the sustainability of this city. We at Permaculture Miami are now expanding the awareness and outlook of our eco-future by educating and empowering people through courses and projects offered within the south Florida area. We believe there is more then enough food, water, land and resources to create a sustainably living ecological system right here! Right now! And we need your help! Join with us, share with us, plant with us, teach with us!

Let’s change the world…
