Two New Workshop Developments for 2026 in the Series of “Grow Your Own Health"
New Practical Workshops
The “Grow Your Own Health” Workshops have been evolving over 43 years and they have metamorphosed into different forms depending on the place they were given.
Due to the fact that we recognise the need of people to experience more modalities of learning, we are working on integrating into our practical gardening modules experiences of nature observation, conscious movement, sounding experiences, storytelling and jamming around the fire, etc. to honour our inner needs for growth, wellbeing and relaxation.
Therefore, we put our practical workshops, we used to start in October on hold until the New Year.
