About Us
We are a collective of friends who love working together. We met in 2018 at the Ecovillage Design Education in Schloss Glarisegg (CH), felt mutually inspired, and decided to start creating courses together. Welcome to our collective “Pathways” !
We have backgrounds in Permaculture Design, Authentic Vocation, Sociocracy, Ecovillage Design, Facilitation, Conflict Resolution, Yoga, Deep Ecology, Dragon Dreaming, Collaboration methods and more…
Roos Derks
Co-Founder, Permaculture Gardener and teacher, Event Organiser
Roos, born in the Netherlands, and currently living in the South of Germany. She loves practicing and teaching permaculture and lives off the vegetables and fruits from her own gardening since 4 years. Her ambition is to embody the knowledge and skill that enables life on a living planet, and to invite others on that journey too. She teaches permaculture courses in her home garden. Since 2019 she teaches at the yearly Ecovillage Design Education. She also organizes events, such as the Dragon Seed Camp. Her heart beats for a new story: that of a positive human impact on an alive earth. Her work is to create the conditions which allow that change to happen: culturally, socially, economically.
