Permaculture Designer & Teacher Skye Jin

Statements
”Jeg har oplevet Mollison, Holmgren og en række andre 'VIPs' indenfor permakultur, men sidste års oplevelse af Skye "in action" med workshop ledelse slår mig som den bedste oplevelse af utroligt gennemtænkt formidling af emnet.

Med det mener jeg at oplevelsen var på så mange niveauer at det træffer (tror jeg) alle de forskellige typer af reception som en divers gruppe jo har. Anbefales!”

Heart connection

I am passionate about teaching and developing permaculture. Since 2016 I have re-designed my own life with Permaculture and dedicated my work to co-create and nurture regenerative cultures.
I am a specialist in SOCIAL PERMACULTURE
and LIFE DESIGN.

My practice is particularly informed by care, inclusion and diversity. I work with a SAFER SPACE policy. I also have experience with gifted children/adults and multicultural or vulnerable communities.

My life and activities are synchronised with natures cycles and I live with my family at Sønderlundens Family Permaculture Garden LAND center - demonstrating permaculture design on a family scale, sustainable economy and 50% selfsufficiency in a relatable and achievable way. Be inspired by my Design 4: Family Garden & Multispecies Safe Space or learn with me!

Permaculture ethics:
Earth Care, People Care, Future Care

Permanent + Culture = Permaculture is a wholistic design system for all aspects of life, that regenerates natural resources. It is a system of ethics, principles design processes and tools that was originally coined by biologist Bill Mollison and landscape designer David Holmgren in the book Permaculture 0ne (1978) and refined in Permaculture Designer´s Manual (1988) and Permaculture Principles & Pathways Beyond Sustainability (2017) and by many other teachers globally since.

Permaculture design and systems thinking is deeply inspired by indigenous livelihoods and traditions of sustainable land-based and cultural ecosystems.

The roots of permaculture design is in academia and science, although radically free, open and challenging to this onset in its ethical, wholistic, positive and practical approach to climate challenges and a low-carbon future.

Community Forest Garden Projects

Permaculture gardens and food forests can be designed for any place! In the city, on polluted lands, by the ocean, villagardens, fields and inside existing forests. We always design with nature and learn from how nature works. I design circular ecosystems with high biodiversity and a good yield all year round with the purpose of regenerating natural and social resources and I always pair land based designs with people designs for optimal resilience and holistic care.
