The Permaculture Research Institute of Australia

PDC in 2005 and diploma in 2009 at the french permaculture festival.
Running projects on my own land and in my direct surroundings: association, consumer group, eco-center...
I believe permaculture is also connecting oneself with our surroundings, not only yearning for the absolute autonomous ecovillaging attitude.

I am slowly planting a temperate food forest as I multiply the necessary plants. I live with my wife in a small autonomous (water and energy wise) house I restored, it is a 200 years old pork-house. We are starting to fix an old tobacco dryer to use as a family house.
Doing things myself and slowly and not always depending on the mercantile lifestyle is one of my moto, getting out of the nuclear grid and aiming towards a substancial autonomy... This also what I try to teach in the workshops I organize.
I successfully built a teaching team with great colleagues on their way to the Diploma and am getting involved in the diploma process in France.
We are aiming at creating opportunities for a diversity of workshops styles to improve their accessibility: in terms of alternative organization (participative, self-managed or else).
I teach PDCs in France and Roumania and started to design professionnaly in 2009... although I try to remain at home as long as possible to keep experimenting.
My wife Chenli and I are now expecting a baby for july! ;)

We accept visitors in a trailer and welcome help during the warm season for exchanges of all kinds...
