Reversing Desertification with Permaculture

Emilio manages the Danyadara (‘Blessed Earth’) permaculture project in Andalusia, Spain. One of our land partners, Danyadara’s mission is to reverse desertification, using permaculture principles, and sustainable land management.

In this Masterclass Series, Emilio invites you to create a New Earth together, through the principles of permaculture. He shows us how to regenerate depleted soil, restore fertility and create life, using local and affordable techniques such as: decompacting compacted soil, using green manure, composting, and mulching.

Other permaculture wisdom you will attain includes: agroforestry, plant communities, seed production, growing crops, and medicinal plants.

Food for the Soul: Biodynamic Gardening

Let Hans-Günther take you on a journey into the realms of Biodynamic Gardening – and discover powerful dynamics through which micro and macro-cosmic influences affect your body and soul through the plants you eat.  

By integrating food production within the entire organism that is the Universe, we enter into a relationship with the cosmos, each other, and the Earth. 

In addition to cosmic influences on food production, Hans-Günther introduces you to the basics of working with the soil, compost, biodynamic preparations, sowing and planting. Filmed in West Lexham, one of our UK land partners, he concludes this enriching learning journey with a site assessment on the elements: air, water, and fire. 

Have fun experimenting, and enter into a rhythmic relationship with the environment once again.

Rewilding Ourselves within the Natural World

Creating a New Earth together requires us to change our relationship with the natural world around us, and our understanding of what it is to be human. 

When we start to ask skillful questions, and to really perceive what is going on around us in the natural environment, we amplify the possibility for ancient and natural wisdom to grow within us. 

Working with the healing properties of plants and trees, can additionally empower you in your relationship with yourself, with others and the environment around you. 

With his authentic way of speaking and beautiful storytelling, Thomas takes you on a heartening journey. You will gain new insights and skills that will help restore the forgotten wildness of your humanity. 

These masterclasses are filmed in East Sussex, UK, on the land that has been under Thomas’s regenerative protection for many years.
