About Dave Hage

David Hage graduated with a B.A. in Anthropology (with a focus in cultural anthropology) from UCLA in 1999. He first discovered Permaculture and tracking as a Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay, where he taught sustainable agricultural practices and beekeeping to the local farmers. Upon returning to the states, he continued this line of work in a 3-year intensive program in Regenerate Design & Nature Awareness with RDI.

David worked as a District Director of an educational non-profit for 4 years, and recently co-founded Weaving Earth, a permaculture design and environmental education business with his partner, Lauren Dalberth.

He is also a trained guide for Wilderness Rites of Passage and has been facilitating Vision Quests for the past 4 years. He strongly believes that returning rights of passage to our culture is a critical element of regenerative design.

Currently, Dave is an instructor for the Regenerative Design & Nature Awareness (RDNA) Program, and the 4 Seasons Permaculture Design Course.

Besides being an avid nature enthusiast and gardener, Dave has a strong passion for music and is always looking for someone to play with!
