Embark on a journey with us as we explore the inspiring story of a family who, over two decades, transformed 60 acres of Brazilian land into a thriving permaculture reference centre. Discover their hands-on experiences in creating food forests and natural buildings and their involvement in pioneering new technologies for eco-sanitation and community development. Hear firsthand how they worked hand-in-hand with the local community, training over 7,000 designers. Learn how their work reached global stages at large-scale festivals, showcasing the transformative power of permaculture.

Lucy Legan is co-founder of Ecocentro IPEC in Brazil, one of the most comprehensive reference centres of sustainability in Latin America, demonstrating scalable social technologies models. People from the USA, Portugal, Australia, Haiti, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Ecuador, El Salvador, and all regions of Brazil have participated in permaculture, organic agriculture and natural building courses under her guidance.

Lucy’s passion for nurturing the Earth is evident in her best-selling book, Planet Schooling - How to create a permaculture living laboratory in your backyard, an invaluable resource for families seeking practical and engaging ways to integrate nature-based learning into their daily lives.

Her quirky edible gardens have been tasted at Boom Festival in Portugal, Global Eclipse Gathering in the USA, Rainbow Serpent Festival and Strawberry Fields Festival in Australia.
