Many things happened on the way, psychology studies, special school management project, sailing, wildlife & safari operation in kenya, hotel design & management in morocco, eco tourism project conception, continuous research on the core of the equation. In the last 5 years: permaculture to link and deepen it all, and still so much to learn, experience and share.
Setup as a permaculture consultant in marrakech, after a PDC with Geoff Lawton and Byron Joel 3 years ago, now gratefully gathering interest from land owners and local community for opportunities to share the vision and help repare badly degraded landscape aound.
After transitioning an old orchard into a perma mini farm, designing for a 3 ha eco tourism project nearby,developping concept for a 10 ha tented tourism , education, and demonstration site south of marrakech (still waiting for funds). Now developing a 2 ha derelict olive grove into a medicinal herb farm, fruit forest veg garden to supply a guesthouse restaurant, natural swimming pool and earth accommodations.
Nov/dec 2014, doing the fascinating soil food web course with Elaine Ingham.
I really want to have a go at teaching, I'm looking for an opportunity to assit in a PDC.
Now consulting for real, getting paid and having to deliver results, fiddling with weeds and "gardening" in a cool spirit or designing for the future isn't good enough anymore.
