Approach

Ed and Wendy will be cohosting and facilitating the workshop. We aim to weave our shared love of nature connection, art, permaculture and mindfulness together, so that we can all grow our understanding of ourselves and world around us. We both appreciate there many nature school that hold up for most the truth and wisdom and importance of: Direct experience, observation through our senses and realisation of the truth of impermanence.
