Alana Bliss has been exploring solutions to ecological and social issues for over 10 years. A Permaculture teacher, homebirth doula, and co-founder of the Fruition Center for Holistic Ecology in Costa Rica, she incorporates holistic wellness and permaculture to design supportive relationships between humans and nature. After completing a Permaculture Design Certification and Natural Building apprenticeship in 2006, Alana dedicated her life to sustainable solutions. She and her family drove to Costa Rica in their self-converted veggie-oil RV, where they founded Finca Fruición: Permaculture Land Cooperative. In 2009, Alana took her Advanced Permaculture Course in Teaching, and has been facilitating permaculture courses and internships ever since. Today, with her family and a small group of dedicated individuals, Alana lives and works at the land cooperative and Fruition Center in Costa Rica. There they host eco-tourists, interns, courses, staff and volunteers. Alana focuses on inspirational education, offering her students the skills to become confident permaculture designers.
