Peppi Gauci

RETREAT FACILITATOR & HOST

Peppi is a visionary from the island of Malta. He is an experienced & certified ecological designer holding a Master of Science in Ecological Architecture and a certified permaculturist, alternative farmer, teacher, consultant, and also the founder of the Permaculture Research Foundation for Malta. He has taught several courses over many years and spoken at high-level circles including the Common Wealth Foundation.

Peppi started out working on permaculture projects at the young age of 21 while he was travelling in Australia. Peppi connected deeply with the mindset of permaculture and became passionate about the positive and integrative attitude that it promotes. He made it his mission to share this with as many people as possible and co-create projects to showcase its potential. From then on he worked on a number of projects in Australia until he eventually returned to Malta where he started the Bahrija Oasis project.

In 2018 Peppi decided to look for another opportunity close to the ocean and the surf, and that is how he landed near Ericeira, Portugal. He owns, leads and manages Zee Barn, the permaculture project which will host us during the retreat.
