About
Meet Matt
Matt completed a Permaculture Design Course through Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute (CRMPI) and a Digital Permaculture Design Course with United Designers in 2021. He also completed an off-site internship at Elk Run Farm ran by Drylands Agroecology Research (DAR) in 2022. He is currently enrolled in a Watershed Restoration course with Zach Weiss and Water Stories. During the internship at Elk Run, Matt met Anthony and discovered their alignment of interests in yoga and permaculture. They decided to bring the two together through classes, workshops and retreats. They still work together at DAR performing regenerative installation projects in Boulder county. Matt spends most of his free time practicing yoga, exploring nature and connecting with community. He also plays music and likes to incorporate guitar, singing bowls and mantras into his classes. He is very interested in exploring the intersection of yoga, nature-immersion and regenerative living and wants to create a retreat center that highlights these teachings and how they compliment each other.

Prior to this, Anthony spent six months with Sapling, where he gained experience in skid steer and heavy equipment operation, as well as team leadership and employee training. Anthony’s passion for earthworks, water management systems, and planting trees has led him to focus on managing rotational grazing systems within Silvopasture for carbon sequestration.
