The "Homeschooling for Homesteading Parents" workshop is an invaluable resource tailored to the unique needs of parents who combine a homesteading lifestyle with homeschooling their children. This workshop emphasizes the integration of daily farming practices with educational lessons, teaching parents how to use the natural environment as a classroom. Participants will learn creative ways to craft lesson plans that incorporate gardening, animal care, sustainability, and ecological awareness, all while adhering to relevant educational standards.

I am captivated by the intricate relationships between soil, water, microorganisms, and plants, as well as their impact on our health. By mimicking nature’s wisdom, we can foster a harmonious bond with ourselves, others, and the Earth. Nurturing our inner gardens and souls.

My commitment extends beyond personal growth. I am dedicated to guiding my two children and serving my family and community. I strive to practice what I teach, approaching life with humility and positivity.

My educational background includes a degree in Agronomic Engineering from EARTH University, Costa Rica, and an MSc. in Sustainable Community Development. My passion lies in regenerative agro-ecology, eco-social strategies, and education.

Throughout my journey, I have gained extensive experience in developing food security and community development projects in Colombia and Costa Rica.
