Biography
Hi, I'm Lumia! That's snow in Finnish if you were wondering.

At Beyond Buckthorns I work on building a functional homestead and to help create a natural haven for people, plants and animals on our premises. I love to read, work for worthy causes through associations, spend time with our cat Miss Sophie, bathe in the sauna and think up new ways to live a magnificent life for as little money as possible.

I did my PDC in Lahti, Finland in 2018 with George Sobol, and lately I've been interested in training others in subjects like permaculture and sustainable lifestyle, too.

Hi Helen, thanks for your interest! No it's not for young people only, but everyone interested in the topic and hopefully have some project or vision they're wanting to work on. Welcome

The course, held this June in Finland, offers empowerment and training for people who have a vision or project in mind/underway and need support making it happen. This vision or project could be, for example, setting up or developing your own farm, an eco-village project, an association or foundation, or even writing a book.

The course will include a workshop on active hope (Joanna Macy's Work That Reconnects), time to get to know each other and share experiences, tools for project design and working together, and help with ethical, holistic communication.

The course will be held in a beautiful old parsonage  and there will be plenty of time for chilling out at the lakeside sauna too 😍🌿

The course is supported by EU's Erasmus+ funding, and participants will only have to pay for part of their accommodation & food costs, and all the teaching is covered for.

Please check it out via the link πŸ‘‰ https://links.vihreapourusmaki.fi/peripheral-links-retreat-finland-2025-empowerment-gamechangers 🌱
