Design for Resilience: Meet our Resilience Master!

The Design for Resilience course, created by Silvia di Blasio, is our response to the multiple crises that humanity is currently facing. We strongly believe that equipping individuals and communities with tools and knowledge about the different forms of resilience is the best way to ensure their ability to face challenges, adapt to change and thrive in times of uncertainty.

But resilience is not a simple subject. That’s why we wanted to make sure you’re in good hands during your learning journey and we’re proud to introduce this edition’s lead facilitator:

Aline Van Moerbeke

Aline is a long-time partner of Gaia Education, having facilitated several dimensions of the GEDS and other courses.

If you’d like to learn more about her, we highly recommend you check out the “Water Resilience Masterclass” she delivered as part of Conversations on Resilience, a series of interviews and conversations with leading resilience experts from around the world that is available for free.

Aline will be facilitating the entire Design for Resilience cycle, starting on September 21st.

A bit more about Aline

Flemish born but residing in Spain since the year 2000. Just over a decade later she finds herself taking the Ecological Dimension of a Gaia EDE course on Mallorca, where she learns about whole systems design, bioconstruction, and... permaculture. Soon after, she co-founds the association PermaMed (Permacultura Mediterránea), of which she still is an active boardmember.

After having received training by tremendously inspiring people such as Julio Cantos, Rosemary Morrow, May East, Robin Clayfield, Richard Perkins, Darren Doherty, Ana Digón, Daniel Wahl, Stella Strega, Morag Gamble, Heloisa Primavera and others, she accredited her Permaculture Diploma at the European Permaculture Convergence in Ireland in 2018. She has been a tutor for the Diploma Pathway at the Iberian Permaculture Academy (Academia de Permacultura Íbera) and a Permaculture Association Britain Accredited Educator since.

Her focus at the beginning of her permaculture pathway was more focused on Education for Sustainable Development, Community Collaboration, Group Processes and Facilitation, New Economies and Inner Landscape Design. Recently her attention has shifted somewhat since starting the permaculture designers' and facilitators' cooperative LA CASA INTEGRAL with her partner in Catalunya. To keep up to date with the latest science and trends, she is continuously training in Regenerative Agriculture, Water Management, Ecological Ecosystem Restauration, Regenerative Tourism and Enterprises, and Nutrition and Natural Medicine.

We want to make the Design for Resilience course as affordable as possible for everyone. That’s why we’re offering three price ranges for you to choose from, starting at £250 (payable in 5 installments). That’s right, you can pay just that for this complete 9-week course!
