Anna is dedicated to exploring community as a tool for resilience, regeneration, and liberation. She is the co-founder lead of two initiatives – Ecovillage Resilience 2.5+, doing participatory research with 20 communities about resilience in the face of catastrophic climate change; and Kincentric Leadership through the Polycrisis, supporting leaders to integrate the more-than-human world in their strategies and activities. Anna previously served as the lead of GEN’s strategy and coordination circles as well as GEN’s Education and Research Director. She is the lead developer of the Ecovillage Impact Assessment, co-developer and facilitator of the European Ecovillage Incubator, Ecovillage Design Cards, GEN Training of Trainers and many other courses and projects in the field of regenerative community design and social innovation and entrepreneurship. In line with her passion for social experimentation, collaboration and equity, she was also a driver behind the implementation of shared governance in the organisation and network.
Anna previously taught Social Anthropology at Lund University, Sweden, and did postgraduate research on localisation and community building as tools for social change before jumping ship and joining the movement instead. She is an alumnus of the Stockholm Resilience Centre LEAP programme for leadership, entrepreneurship and systems change and a Trustee of both Transition Network and Gaia Education.
After ten love-filled years as a member of the Findhorn Ecovillage and Community in Scotland, Anna now lives with many other creatures on a budding permaculture mountain farm in the French Pyrenees. Originally from Sweden, she has visited, worked with, or taught in more than 50 ecovillages on 4 continents.
