On Jan. 21, the fifth live session of the Social Permaculture Online training will feature Patty Love sharing her extensive knowledge of Regenerative Business Design, and Alfred Decker facilitating a session about...facilitation! The training can be started at any time and missed sessions can also be made up later.

✨ Patty Love (she/her/ki) remembers her first childhood plot in the family’s massive food garden where she planted seeds of her own choosing: peas, herbs, and flowers. In 2000, just as she first heard the term “permaculture,” patty started a family and a home-based business as a Virtual Business Manager, which has evolved into Barefoot Business Consulting and Systems Design. In 2009, a decade long dream came true when she launched Barefoot Edible Landscape and Permaculture and founded Genesee Valley/Rochester Permaculture and Resilience Network.

More dreams came true when she completed a second PDC with Earth Activist Training in 2011 and student-taught in 2018. Later that same year, she became a certified Permaculture Teacher through EAT and worked with Starhawk to develop and launch Regenerative Business Design as the ongoing instructor. Patty saw that RBD course graduates were seeking support and applied her Professional Business Coaching Certification to develop Maven Makers, a regeneratively-designed small business coaching group. Now, with nearly 40 years of experience in business and 15 years in permaculture, patty practices and teaches regenerative design, permaculture, food forest gardening, suburban homesteading and social permaculture in her community and to a global audience from her home along Red Creek in occupied Hodinöšyö:nih Territory.
