Amanda Settle

Currently studying permaculture design with Geoff Lawton. An international school teacher with over 20 yrs experience in teaching, I previously working in communications with the police in the UK and served in the Royal Air Force. With a passion for education I'm hoping to help others learn how to make this world a place we can all live in and enjoy. Currently living in a small community in the mountains of Almeria southern Spain with my husband, right now we are renovating an abandoned 300yr old farmhouse and redesigning the use of our land using permaculture principles. I want to show how we can build a community that supports each other. There has to be a better way in this crazy world today. With the principles of permaculture alongside doughnut economics there is hope and we hope to open an education centre to show others practical hands on ways to make a change in their own communities and individual homes.
