General

I’ve benefited deeply from working with Javan. Having a holistic context that is so well custom tailored to me is going to help my family, my business and of course, myself for the rest of my life.

Along the way he helped me identify some major limiting beliefs and blind spots that I am now actively working to shift and that alone has been an incredible upgrade for me.

I couldn’t have come to this outcome alone.

The clarity I have now about how to make decisions, fully in alignment with my long term goals and visions, makes me feel more confident and relaxed, moving through the trials and tribulations of life.

Already things are going much better and I can see how I will get where I want to go very clearly. The only way I could get off track now is if I don’t use the tools I built with Javan’s help.

I would not hesitate to make this investment again, I only wish I would have done it sooner.

Thanks again!

Thanks again for another AMAZING workshop yesterday- I’m always so blown away by your wealth of knowledge!

Javan helped me identify a limiting belief that I didn’t even know existed and walked me through the step by step to overcome it.

I highly recommend working with Javan on dialling in your mindset and beliefs before taking on any meaningful and potentially scary work.

Javan is a gifted agent for positive change on the planet. As an instructor, he is eloquent, well-rounded, knowledgeable and bright. He is able to adapt to the needs and interests of the participants, and is energetic enough to keep offering ideas and support through break times. As one participant described, Javan channels information to us as from a fire hose.

In the months leading up to the course, circumstances shifted multiple times. Javan remained professional and was able to confer and advise me (as a neophyte organizer) at each turning point. He was generous with time and knowledge on course promotion and building community. In fact, he suggested I run a monthly gathering to begin the process of networking and bringing like minds together. It was a successful endeavour indeed.

When the course finally ran, we had a great turn out of enthusiastic folks whose expectations were met, and surpassed. Javan was able to competently and sensibly channel solid and inspiring information. He subtly adapted it to stakeholders like a local city manager and teachers participating in the course, as well as to drop-in visitors such as our supportive local mayor and a doubtful city councillor.

I will always appreciate his efforts towards the inception of our local urban agriculture community. I look forward to opportunities to cross paths with Javan in the future. My best wishes to him as he continues to follow and share his bliss while encouraging others to do the same.

Thanks so much for everything Javan.
I really appreciate your dedication to facilitating people on their pathway to success.
I gained a lot of insight to areas for me to dive in deeper to understand how to organize my business. The tools you shared have already helped me to clarify things for myself and will continue to serve the people I work with.
I’m grateful for all you do and all you’ve done for me.

Javan’s workshop at the end of the event has changed me and the direction I am headed in, for the rest of my life.

I LOVED both your sessions at PV2, and am in the process of revisiting them both point-by-point and really working through the various frameworks, guiding questions, etc. that you introduced in those presentations. They have been so, so valuable to me. Thank you!

So, you’ve awaken to the fact that you want to change the world and your not sure what you can do. You’ve just finished a PDC and are ready to hit the ground running. But wait, how do I do that, well, Javan has developed a system that helps you help yourself. When you head out to make change you might want to take inventory of YOU. This is what you would do if you were going to advise someone about there property. Now then lets evaluate Zone 0, YOU.

Javan’s course does this and so much more. The basic questions are: What are you talented at? What brings you joy? What recharges you? This sounds easy to do? It was one of the hardest but most fulfilling exercises I have ever done. This work will help you to have laser focus on fulfilling your life’s passion, purpose and finding your bliss.

Thanks for all you do

The Galiano Conservancy Association contracted Javan as a resource person to help design a permaculture food forest at our Learning Centre site. Javan, in partnership with Richard Walker, facilitated a community design session, developed our site plan and delivered a 2 day workshop on food forest theory followed by a 3 day practicum at our site. Working with Javan is a pleasure, he is professional, passionate, creative and effective in communicating his deep knowledge of permaculture and food forest design. When it came to promoting the workshop and sourcing plants and materials for our site we benefited from Javan’s extensive network of connections in the permaculture community. The workshop received rave reviews from participants, they left energized, inspired and equipped with a solid foundation in food forest theory along with a practical set of skills.

Javan Bernakevitch is an engaging presenter, deeply knowledgeable about the whole field of permaculture and ecological design.  He helped guide our students through the intricacies of mapping and the exciting and oft-neglected arena of translating their newly-developed skills into career opportunities.  He projects great enthusiasm and our students found his participation enriching, inspiring and fun!

Thanks so much,
