Client Testimonials

“Jodie has a huge heart and an amazing drive to build community. She embodies the permaculture principle of ‘valuing the margins’, with vast experience across countries, cultures, and demographics.”

Angela Rowe

“ It has opened new ways of thinking, given me lasting connections with like-minded people, and inspired me to establish my own regenerative project to enhance people’s lives while caring for nature. The course instilled a deep sense of solidarity, empowerment, and purpose that I continue to carry forward.”

Priti Khan

“The timetable and price made this course accessible, while the learning, practical experience, and location had a lasting impact. It was a highlight of my year!”
