We Got to Move: Winter Offering

On Saturday 16th January 2021, we tested for the first time the WGTM curriculum, sharing skills to build your strength, work with nature, and grow community power.

From Vision to Virtual.

We held a day of workshops, offering immediately usable skills that you can apply to

  • build your own physical strength

  • nourish and protect yourself

  • work with nature and the people around you to grow community power

  • start organising to win change

Our Workshops

“Clearly a well-knit team, making great use of the resources available to deliver something impactful and inspiring.”

— A from the Winter Offering.

“It felt warm and nurturing from the get-go and I felt held throughout. I came wanting to escape the ‘pandemic’ noise and I did. You took me to a space where I could forget about it for a while.”

— M from the Winter Offering.

Feeding Ourselves - Josie Holt.

With Josie Holt.

Resilience is the ability to prepare for, withstand, and recover from a crisis or disruption. A resilient food system is able to withstand and recover from disruptions in a way that ensures a sufficient supply of acceptable and accessible food for all.

With thousands of books and websites dedicated to growing your own food, anyone can do it! 
So why aren’t we? Let's work together to explore some simple permaculture design tools to help connect us to our individual and community food growing needs and capacities.
