social permaculture, life design, organisational-business design, community

The garden reminds us that we can sow the seeds we want and we don't control what grows. This is a guided relaxation on life, imperfection and acceptance.

In the autumn, Mother Nature offers us reminders to let go, replenish ourselves and give thanks. This is a guided relaxation to help us connect with Nature and go within.

"[There has been a] huge increase in interest in permaculture in the last decade, the increase in people with varied backgrounds and training levels teaching in different ways, and a demand to meet more needs and bring permaculture to different communities."
