Saturday 27th March 2021, 3 – 5pm, Time to grow your own food and wellness with Leonie Shanahan

26/02/2021 By

Workshop Description:

It is time to take back control of your health and that comes from growing your own nutrient dense food in biologically active soils. It is easy, let me show you how, to empower you with knowledge and confidence in your fruit and vegetable garden.

Starting with your soil – beyond the foundation of worms and compost.

Learn some tricks and tips with seeds and plants – how to prepare, plant and nurture them – what aftercare/maintenance is needed and how to harvest your food for maximum nutrients, meaning more health and energy for you to do what you love.

I’ll show you easy plants to grow all year round so you have a living pantry.

Discover my top plants for wellness and create more food security in your patch.

Additionally, I aim to help you to understand that nutrient rich food rewards you with a vibrant, energetic and healthy life. True healing comes from our plants – plants grown in good soil are our medicine.

“Your health is your wealth, and it starts in the soil!” Leonie Shanahan

Saturday 13th March 2021, 3pm to 5pm, Living Rhythm workshop with Erin Young

08/02/2021 By

Workshop Description:

The Living Rhythm workshop calibrates us with seasonal rhythms and cycles.  

The ‘wheel of life’ is a simple yet powerful pattern of a lifecycle, that all people experience in many ways – daily, monthly, annually, and generationally. Learning to work with it helps to live in harmony and effectiveness.

In this workshop, we explore the qualities and characteristics of the wheel of life through the archetypes of the directions – East, North, West and South – in relation to self, kin and community.

This dynamic life-affirming educational experience weaves together interactive and dynamic content and processes to bring us into alignment with the choreography of life’s cycles.  It gently extends us beyond the cultural conditioning that lulls us into a perpetual collective slumber.

Doing so helps us live on our potent edge.  It deepens our balance, creativity, and collaboration, which is particularly poignant in a rapidly changing world.  

By amplifying one’s life force in such ways, we’re helped to bring our whole self to this blessed world: aligned, on-point, and in form.

Presenter’s Biography:

As coach, consultant and facilitator, Erin uses nature wisdom to activate women and organisations with balance, creativity and collaboration to create a more beautiful world. 

Erin works with social permaculture and sociocracy as ‘social technologies’ to activate regenerative culture amongst self, kin and community. 

Based near Eumundi on the Sunshine Coast, South East Queensland, Erin is a board member of Grounded Permaculture Action Party, and actively teaches with Grounded Permaculture, and with the Change Makers and Byron Community College permaculture design courses.
