In 2008, I have followed a Permaculture Design Course, while completing a two years technical degree in landscape design. Then I have travelled a lot around New-Zealand to learn more about permaculture. I have helped in many projects: Among tohers Taranaki environnemental center, Betsy Kettle's place (Vedict Academy produce), Mara Whenua (including adobe in-situ project in a neighboorough place introduced by Günther Andraschko), Otamatea eco-village, Margaret Peace's property and Rainbow Valley Farm.
Then, back in France, I have been involved in the french permaculture association Brin de Paille, followed courses about consensus decision-making, transition town while completing a Bachelor degree in geography, planning and management of rural areas (Both in France and Czech Republic). I have participated during that time, in 2012, in differents project in Germany. That included design of a forest-garden for a birth center, and follow-up implementation of holistic ressources management in an extensive cattle farm in Melchow, and thus I have completed a special course on this site with Kirk Gadzia (Regenerative Agriculture). I have filled-up then with a keyline design course with Darren Doherty in south of France (Pyrénées).
Since 2011 and during seven years I have contributed to promote permaculture by spreading bibliography, creating local group, organizing meetings and visits on local permaculture places.
Now, after few on-site experiences, I'm back to human care (so called zone zero as ourselves), deepening my knowledeges about how to communicate effectivly, to deal with emotions, to be holistically healthy (food, physical and spiritual practices, balanced relationship and so on).
