Susana Lein
Susana has made her living from an off-grid permaculture farm she created from scratch after returning to the USA in 1999. Since first learning about permaculture at the New Alchemy Institute in the late 1980’s, she has also taught hundreds of permaculture workshops and courses in many states and countries, mentored many dozens of apprentices and provided permaculture consulting for numerous individuals and organizations.
As one of the pioneers of permaculture in North America, Susana’s work has been featured in the 2015 documentary film “INHABIT” and publications like Mother Earth News, New Pioneer and Orion magazine, Yale Climate Connections, The Permaculture Podcast and more. (See In the Press page).
Susana’s Workshop
Closing the Loop – Lived Experience from Salamander Springs
Susana Lein will share her perspectives on the interface between biodynamic and permaculture concepts on the homestead through examples from her own farm outside Berea Kentucky. The circular return of resources is a key principle between these two beautiful streams of land and farm management. Susana’s expertise in permaculture and practical examples of homesteading-from-scratch are an inspiration.
