About John Schinnerer
I live much of the year in a rainforest on Hawai'i island and seasonally in the Cascadia bioregion of North America. I have a Master's degree in Whole Systems Design with a focus on cultural and ecological designing. My work integrates permaculture and keyline design, appropriate technologies, and human relating and regenerative governance systems.
I am a practitioner, teacher and consultant who works with public, private and non-profit clients, with a mission to demonstrate, teach and inspire abundance and peace.
I enjoy human-powered outdoor recreation and transportation, singing and playing guitar, building unique structures and trying to grow stuff on lava rock.
