Kevin Schot is a Norse-Gael descendant of the "Great Heathen Army" that settled in Scotland in the 800s. Kevin works purely for environmental and social regeneration and rehabilitation, as well as being a strong ally for Indigenous First Nation rights and reconciliation. At home in Sweden, he took on the struggle to follow original dreaming and build Scandinavia's first full scale Earthship by hand (completely sustainable home invented by architect Michael Reynolds in Taos New Mexico) and is on track to design and manifest the North's smallest ecological footprint for a family. He intends working in the same way for other families on completion of this after years of cold climate sustainability/regenerative research.
After receiving a double certificate from Matt Powers "Advanced Permaculture Student Online" (APSO), he offers Design and Consultation services by donation, to his nonprofit organization "The Medicine Ways Co-operative" based in Sweden. The work continues today toward completing the Earthship known as the "Midgård Blackship" and has a YouTube channel following the progress called "Babble from the Bubble." Kevin is a determined voice against colonialism, imperialism, white supremacy, slavery and the predatory form of invasive capitalism in the world.
