Jen McConachie

Permaculture teacher living in Norway, originally from UK. Passionate about co-creating with nature as mentor, to create regenerative designs for inner and outer landscapes. I teach forest garden design and have designed many forest gardens, from small backyards to a food forest on the roof of Økern Portal in Oslo. I have Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC), Permaculture Teacher Training certificate and am a facilitator of The Work That Reconnects. I am currently on my permaculture diploma journey in Norway.
I worked as a DJ and composer for dance theatre, until I became hooked on permaculture ten years ago, after becoming a mother and starting a "Transition Town" group. I shifted focus to social change and earth activism.
I have been active in liberation movement work since my teenage years and have led countless community projects, voluntary organizations, festivals, events and courses and been active in politics since 2015 - all with an intention to play my part in "The Great Turning!"
