Barbara Scheltus - van den Berg
permaculture facilitator, camp owner, and self sufficient gardener in Vojnić, Kroatië
Passionate permaculture gardener & designer (of land and life), living self sufficient in harmony with nature.
My vision is to live a simple, healthy, happy life in nature, with like minded people to share and celebrate.
Here at Bogata Šuma in the heart of Croatia we are Growing a Village. A beautiful, sustainable or even regenerative, caring , cooperating community, fun and supportive, and fully self reliant.
Permaculture and Cultural Emergence facilitator
I really enjoy facilitating courses for people who want to take steps in care of their land and their life, designing for it, and growing towards self sufficiency/self reliance/independence in their lives.
My Cultural Emergence journey is the undercurrent of my permaculture stream; I see Cultural Emergence as a "what" to the "how" of permaculture. This world needs a caring, connective way of thinking. If the values earth, people and future care and fair share would be mainstream, most world problems would not exist!
> I collaborate with Looby Macnamara in the Cultural Emergence network
As a facilitator I like to make things practical for people. How can you do things, how can you design (parts of) your life so that you take good care of the earth, of yourself and other people, and care for the future. Even when you live in an apartment in the city.
