Mayi Lekuona

I’m a Basque permaculture designer with a passion for ecology, environmental conservancy, education and zero waste movement. My curiosity and eagerness to learn have lead me to very diverse experiences. I first discovered Permaculture in 2010, when we bought our first house near Rimouski, Québec. And, as a Basque woman, as a biologist who had studied all sorts of environmental systems, and as a person who was really concerned about the impact of Humans on this planet, I immediately felt connected to it. After obtaining my Permaculture Design Certificate and my Advanced Certificate in Social Designs in 2020, I decided to go further and joined the Diploma process with Aline Van Moerbeke at the Academia de Permacultura Íbera. After 18 years living in Brittany, Bordeaux, Scotland, Canada and Japan, I am glad to be back in the Basque Country and to contribute to developing a resilient and regenerative society at home.
