Note from Yael

Watching the Kiss the Ground was the first documentary which left me feeling empowered and positive-minded about the transformation that is possible to the benefit of all life. The desire was born to educate myself further in this to me mind-blowing way of living to share this knowledge with people worldwide. I bought several books on permaculture and restorative farming and started reading. The inspiration kept coming and I followed an online MOOC Soil 4 Life at the University of Wageningen which led into expanding my knowledge through several other courses such as Food Forest design and Permaculture Design Course.

From a very young age, I have always had a strong feeling that I wanted to make an impact in this world, but had a hard time deciding which cause I would dedicate my life to. After graduating law school and working in the corporate field for a few years, I can now finally say that I’ve found the place where I I truly belong; working with Mother Earth.

My mission; restoring the world by restoring our soil. When we restore our soil, we don’t only restore our ecosystems, but we nourish ourselves. It’s my goal to help as many people as I can towards a self-sustainable way of life – which consequently helps regenerate earth.
