Meeting Soil: The Practicum of Getting Down and Dirty | Lancaster, UK

Please join us at this half day workshop with Starhawk. The workshop will involve getting ‘down and dirty’ as we are led by Starhawk to get intimately involved in observing soil, and we learn about permaculture design that is grounded in spirituality and with a focus on activism.

Permaculture is a system of ecological design, a set of ethics and principles that guide us in developing human systems that can meet our needs while regenerating the natural environment around us. While food growing systems are probably its primary application, it can also be applied to social systems, living systems, urban planning—pretty much every human endeavor. I found it a helpful framework for learning the practical skills of earth healing and for developing and implementing real solutions to our environmental problems.       -Starhawk
