Consulting and training programs

We help our clients to explore the conditions of the landscape they inhabit and its context to the larger region, in order to empower them to realise the full potential of the life they wish to live and the dream they have for their land.

Inhabit consulting

Inhabit facilitates a design process that balances the opportunities and constraints of lands with the needs and goals of lands’ stewards in a sustainable development approach that is aligned with 3 ethics.

  • Individual Development
  • Community building 
  • Service to the earth

Methodologies

We make use of a variety of methodologies drawing from Dragon Dreaming and Agile Project Management,  and we specifically tailored them for ecosystem regeneration projects. Permaculture and Regenerative design is employed along the whole implementation process together with the client.

We work with experts with multi-disciplinary experience in:

  • Agroforestry Systems for Ecological Restoration (e.g Syntropic farming)
  • Hydrological design (key lines, micro water-harvesting techniques, etc)
  • Agro-ecological intensive methodologies for food and grain production
  • Urban and organic gardening
  • Successional Reforestation systems
  • Ecosystem restoration techniques
  • Participatory diagnosis, cartography and Mapping

We use different social technologies approaches to facilitate community building and to promote self-organisation amongst groups; being probably the most critical part of most projects’ success.

Some of the methodologies includes:

  • Dragon Dreaming
  • Art of Hosting
  • Community organise
  • Sociocracy 3.0
  • Pro-social approach
  • Participatory Theatre

Beyond Service: Education and Network

Inhabit aims to promote leadership so that methodological knowledge can be learned and passed to others, and that trained people can connect and network their experiences. Inhabit consulting is therefore both a coaching and a methodological educational service.

Dragon Dreaming approach

Dreaming

What does your landscape and community wish to look like 10 years from now? How do you merge your dream with your desired quality of life, while considering your budget and resources available? 

Inhabit will be with you from the first moment of your project, engaging with collaborative and agile tools for project management and drawing out the potential of people and places, leaving you confident in how you can take active responsibility for the land you steward. 

Planning

What practical steps are required to make your dream a reality? This is the due diligence phase of our design work that seeks to answer where, what, when and how.

It is a participative process that results in a concept working plan, implementation guide and maintenance schedules tailored to the rhythm and resource available.

Doing

Inhabit guides implementation oversight. Working hand by hand to make your dream come to life; laying out trees, training employees, preparing materials, setting up the design, sourcing plants and biomass, and monitoring progress overtime.

We work side by side with your team to get a project off the ground and foundational soil, water and plant systems in the ground.
