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 the permaculture foundation course (PDC) in Norway, co-facilitate the online permaculture teacher training with Alfred Decker and run online courses in forest garden design. I have designed many forest gardens, from small backyards to a large food forest on a public rooftop in Oslo. I received my permaculture diploma in Norway in 2024 , took the Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) in 2015, Permaculture Teacher Training in 2022 and am a certified facilitator of The Work That Reconnects.
I worked as a DJ and composer for dance theatre, until I became hooked on permaculture after becoming a mother and starting a "Transition Town" group. I shifted my life 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!"
I run the permaculture course platform "Earth Mentor Me".
