Workshop(s)

Workshop 1: Soil Regeneration & Nutrient-Dense Food with Carbon-Smart Nutriculture

Time to go beyond “Certified Organic” to grow & market foods that are “Nutrient-Dense” and “Carbon-Smart.” “Nutriculture” is growing focused on nutrient content, and based on soil regeneration with biocarbon, minerals and microbes for sustainable fertility and optimum carbon sequestration. The sooner consumers demand such food quality, the faster farmers will change how they farm to grow it. Nutriculture is healthy soil to grow healthy food for healthy humans.


Workshop 2: Water Wisdom, Dragon Paths & 6th Sense: how to read the Earth’s subtle energy anatomy

Water is the first gift of the Mother, and the first requirement for settlement. Earth is nested in a series of magnetic bubbles woven as a coherent web over land surfaces. This subtle energy grid affects geology, topography and geography, and shape human behavior and habitation. The inner awareness to sense this subtle energy network is a simple skill hard-wired in our nervous system. Becoming conscious of this invisible energy anatomy of the land can guide decisions about land use and settlement.

Workshop 1: 21st Century Fire: Working with Nature to Reduce Wildfire

In the Western US, Fires are growing in intensity. The purpose of this workshop is to give individuals practical tools to aid in forest health, as well as offer examples of on-the-ground community efforts to re-introduce prescribed fire into the Northern California region. We’ll go through selective thinning of conifers, limbing practices for hardwoods and use of low-scale fires that historically were integral to the landscape and peoples.
