Joy Foley

I’m a mother, gardener and one time nurse. My life experience includes creating organic gardens, off grid living, nature connection, yoga and mediation. I’ve lived in four countries, always on the land. In Germany I assisted in initiating a food cooperative and alternative community and lived plastic free for one year. I speak English, German and a little Italian. I’m the founder of Peace Valley - Australian Bush Retreat in Australia.

Primary interests: Ecovillages, New Story, Permaculture, Ecosystem Restoration, Meditation
