Shares a passion for stewarding the earth &

living regeneration through action.

Jean Pullen

Jean Pullen is a multi-talented artist, gardener, cook, musician, best selling book writer, and entrepreneur. Jean is the founder of Regenerate Your Reality, partner at Jungle Project and a Soil Advocate at Kiss the Ground.

In her past life, Jean worked in corporate finance, changing jobs every few years, but she never really felt satisfied. She has always questioned the status quo; her passion for truth and environmentalism led her to dismantle her life and begin a journey of self-exploration, changing her inner world and regenerating her reality. 

She redesigned her lifestyle, focusing on living simply, learning, unlearning, and eventually teaching. In her travels to Europe, Mexico, and Central America over the past seven years, Jean has had the opportunity to co-create, volunteer with, and visit various permaculture projects.

Her journeys and accumulated lessons led her to write her memoir and guide to regenerative living, a blueprint for anyone seeking to regenerate their reality, too. Jean believes we can be part of the solution to the climate crisis, and that we all can play our part by living regeneration and coming back to our essence of love.

Later, he began a trip through Central and South America for 11 years, during which time he continued collaborating in diverse projects (including being a manager for more that 2 years in a famous permaculture project called Punta Mona in Costa Rica and working with other projects such as Essence Arenal in Costa Rica and Mystical Yoga Farm in Guatemala). He has also collaborated and lived with various indigenous and agricultural communities. Alan has planted thousands of trees and permaculture gardens, offering workshops, courses, different ceremonies with cacao, sweat lodge (temazcal), and fire. His mission is to protect seeds.
