An experiential learning experience will reveal the nature of ecosystem architecture, social structure, and our interconnectedness.
Forest Gardening and Deep Ecology is a practice, yet it also represents a radically new way of seeing our landscapes and our world. Seeing nature as a model of wellness; we can grow a diverse range of plants together in mutually beneficial groupings that are primarily self-maintaining.
An achievable Paradise that can be created in a rural field, a suburban yard, or even a vacant city backyard.
Forest Gardening is the art and science of growing plants in patterns that support mutually beneficial relationships, which create a garden that takes its vision from nature and the natural ecology of a young forest. We can grow fruits, vegetable, herbs, medicinal plants and other useful plants. By mincing the way nature creates healthy eco-systems we can create beautiful, high-yield, diverse gardens that are largely self-maintaining. Forest Gardening offers design systems that support a diversity of landscapes from rural to dense urban settings. This particular training is focused on how to create your garden in a temperate zone.
Forest Gardening allows us to achieve the same benefits that natural systems demonstrate: stability, resilience, self-maintenance, self-renewal, and increased nutrient conservation at personal and ecological levels.
Deep Ecology is a holistic approach to facing world problems. Bringing thinking, feeling, spirituality and action together it looks deeply at humanity’s relationship with the natural world so that we can move beyond the individualism of Western culture towards seeing ourselves as part of the earth, no longer something ’out there’ but something that we are intricately a part of. It helps us to creatively address our feelings as we face the social and ecological crisis in our world. Deep Ecology draws on the new science of Living Systems and ancient Indigenous wisdom.
Facilitators: Passionate, long-time gardeners, forest gardeners, permaculturists, herbalist and ecospiritual guides, Shantree Kacera D.N., Ph.D. and Lorenna Bousquet-Kacera, invite you to discover this remarkable model for creating inner and outer gardens that support self, community and Earth.
