“There’s never been a day that I built when I haven’t woke up with a smile on my face.
It’s such a joy.”
Lola Byron

Lola Byron is a Permaculture and Natural Building facilitator, practitioner and consultant. After traveling the globe with her young family, she now lives, works, teaches, builds and raises her 2 children in Southern Portugal. In 2020 Lola created The Women Natural Builders Collective, a safe and empowering learning space and network for women builders worldwide. She has built and taught internationally for the past 9 years, spent 3 years as the Natural Building Manager at Panya Project, Thailand, and has been a consultant and project manager with Surplus Permaculture Design since 2017.

This interview was recorded in September 2022 during a 10 days Natural Building Workshop, at A Quinta in south of Portugal, lead by Lola and her incredible team. We took part on this learning adventure and the opportunity to spend time in a very unique environment with people from all over the world, finishing the days full of mud. In this episode Lola shares with tears in her eyes her journey and motivation to be a natural builder with all heart and feet on the earth.
