About my Permaculture Educator projects
I started learning about permaculture in my early twenties as a way of finding positive solutions to heal our broken Earth and her communities. In 2011 I undertook a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) with the late Patrick Whitefield at Ragmans Farm, England and then in 2013 I completed a second PDC - Earth Activist Training - with Starhawk in Cazadero, California. In September 2015 I completed the Permaculture Association (Britain) Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design. And later the same year, completed a 2 week residential course run by Looby Macnamara and Peter Cow, to improve and consolidate knowledge and skill, relating to facilitating people focused permaculture events. I write regular articles and reviews for both Permaculture Magazine and the Permaculture Women's Guild Magazine. I live in Yorkshire, England.
Some of my main interests and passions in Permaculture Design

A selection of my illustrations are now available to buy as A4 or A5 prints, and A6 cards from my Etsy shop Kt Shepherd Doodles. My permaculture inspired illustrations are ethically printed onto recycled card by Footprint Workers Cooperative and are posted out to you in plastic free, sturdy packaging.

In my blog I share regular, solutions focused examples of how permaculture can provide healing and regeneration for ourselves, our communities and our planet. I also write regular reviews of permaculture resources I am currently using. These are also in my blog and can be found easily in the navigation there.

Resources

On my resources page, I share some of my favourite books, websites, blogs, podcasts and more...to inspire and learn from. Not all of them are specifically permaculture focused, but all have been used in someway to influence the permaculture design in my life and work.

Creative Dying is about empowering and supporting people - at any time of their life - to plan and design the death they would like. It is aimed at anyone who would like to explore the creative, positive and unique approaches that we can take to considering the end of our lives and how we die.
