background of landscape architect, nature lover, traveller and tour guide. diploma holder since 2008, active permaculture teacher since 2009 but involved in pc personally since 1993.
It just had to be. My favourite definition is (by David Holmgren - I heard): "it is just common sense but not very common."
since 2009 part of the inner circle of german Permakultur Akademie which is rapidly growing. Still in close touch with the german network, but living in the beautiful Ariège next to the Pyrenees now and hope to get some permaculture going with the French! I am now member of the (still small) french teaching/tutoring team within the Université Populaire de Permaculture (www.permaculturefrance.com) and taught my first PDC in french in september 2014 in the Provence.
I dispose of a terrain in medium altitude, quite wild, which I like to develop with as little technical means as possible, enjoying and encouraging the abundance of nature. the site is good for mushroom growing, extracting some wood, wild fruit and berries. there is also a (derelict) orchard which needs some spicing up in order to get into production!
so, I am looking for people who would like to spend some days, weeks or months up at this site in order to get things rolling.
other than that, I am also involved with an aid-project on Rusinga Island/Lake Victoria/Kenya. great opportunity for pc students. see: www.soned.de (in german only, sorry..), look out for the "little stars".
See here my activites in teaching permaculture and botany 2022 in France. Tools for tomorrow!
