Episode 51: Courage to Change - Transitioning to a Life and Career in Permaculture. Juan Lugo with Morag Gamble

Sense-Making in a Changing World

In this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World it is my delight to share with you this conversation with Juan Jose Lugo Bernal from Quito, Ecuador from Pangea Regenera. Juan and I met through the Ecoversities program of Re-imagining Higher Education .
He recently recorded an interview with me about my work - you can listen here - and we then recorded this conversation about his
- the courage it took to shift from being an engineer to a life in permaculture
- his permaculture program at the public hospital - with garden time prescribed by the doctors
- his emergent skill in dowsing and intuitive design
I think Juan's story is so powerful - expressing the doubts and fears many of us have felt at some time in our lives - and the possibilities to chose a different reality and work with deep purpose and joy.
I hope you enjoy this episode. I loved chatting with Juan. Don't forget you can pop over to the podcast youtube channel to watch this conversation too.
