Join us for a deep-dive into growing healthy ecosystems and flourishing edible landscapes. Inspired by Permaculture and Syntropic Agriculture principles, participants will explore the different dimensions of abundant food forests. The course unfolds with the co-creation of a food forest from the design to the implementation. On the blank canvas of a barren land, we will grow a wide variety of species defining a colourful regenerative ecosystem.

Objectives of the course:

Become best buddies with soil and learn how to take care of it;

Dive into water systems;

Learn how to grow a wide variety of trees from seeds and propagate plants;

Explore the philosophy behind each agroforestry practice;

The art of pruning: an essential practice for growth and restoration;

Learn how to receive feedback from nature and interact with it;

Implement a diverse, stable and abundant forest system.

The program balances theory and practice and will provide the needed tools to sustain the participants’ inspiration after the course. You will also get the chance to meet the land- based community of Waking Life and learn more about the ecosystem restoration project developed alongside the festival.
