This is the start of a new build in Morayshire, Scotland. When complete it will be a 1½ storey, traditional style croft house. The Glen of Newmill is just outside the town of Keith with beautiful views of the surrounding area. Set within 8 acres the land is stony clay, the house will be built using strawbale and naturally plastered using clay and lime.

Join us for this exciting opportunity to explore how to engage children in outdoor learning.

This two day training course is the finale of the three year European ‘Children in Permaculture’ project in which best practice has been shared across the continent from Finland, Italy, Scotland and Romania.

Free-Build is a volunteering camp to help make the most mind bogglingly beautiful natural buildings affordable for schools, charities, community groups, trusts and public organisations who put other people and the environment first.

We are building a roundwood timber framed barn with green roof for Hawkwood College in Stroud, lead by Adrian Leaman. When finished this building will be available for local community groups to use free of charge. We ask a minimum commitment of two weeks and we’ll all be camping together on-site for the duration.

This is a 4 day yoga and permaculture retreat.

We use the principles of yoga and permaculture to design our zone zero.

The retreat takes place on our permaculture farm in the south of Spain.

With Laura Lengnick

Fundamental to our identity as a species, crucial to the health and well-being of our communities, the way that we eat fuels the 21st century challenges that threaten our way of life. How do we resolve this dilemma? This course explores the transformative power of story as a catalyst for personal and social transformation in this age of climate change. In this week-long intensive on transformational story-telling skills, you can learn how to tell stories that spark the kind of social learning needed to put us on the path to a resilient food future.

What is Sociocracy?
A quick answer to the question, What is Sociocracy? is that sociocracy is both:
A social ideal that values equality and the rights of people to decide the conditions under which they live and work
An effective method of organizing collaborative and productive organizations as associations, businesses, and governments, large and small.
