Really, the benefits of my experience with RDI can’t be fully described here. They are so diverse and rich it would take much too long – reaching into every aspect of my life.

That said, through courses at RDI, I learned how to design and carry out solutions to the myriad of issues we currently face - through a process that was both empowering and transformative.

The Nature Awareness aspect of the RDNA course takes the phrase “listening to the land” and roots it in a deep and ever-growing knowledge of place – which is critical for every ecological designer. Then, through Regenerative Design, we reflect our understanding of natural systems in building the physical environments that yield abundance while rejuvenating the land. We do all this with more than just ourselves in mind: for all people and all our relations - for the generations to come.

I now own and run the permaculture design business Abundance In Balance Design (abundanceinbalance.com) and have co-founded the Grow Food Party Crew – a model for establishing local food abundance and building community in every neighborhood throughout the world. Here's a YouTube Video about how the Grow Food Party Crew works. Or you can read about it in the news right here!
