Lauren graduated in 2009 from Humboldt State University in beautiful northern California with a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Globalization.
After graduation she has continued her personal education in many different fields. Following her passion for Permaculture, she completed the Permaculture Design Course at Lost Valley Education Center, as well as a Farmstead technology course at Aprovecho Sustainability Education Center, where she acquired additional life skills such as welding, distillation and blacksmithing.
Her love of the Earth and living close to the Land led to a Sustainable Living Apprenticeship at True Nature Farm in beautiful Boulder, Utah and an Herbalism internship at the HerbPharm in Williams, Oregon. In addition, Lauren is a certified Yoga teacher, and continues to practice daily.
And in the midst of it all Lauren has still found the time to pursue her never ending passion of world travel, spending time in over 35 different countries, learning from a multitude of varied cultures and traditions along the way and shaping the person she is today.
