Short Courses & Workshops
Join us on one of our short courses
The world is alive. The future is not entirely written. Everything you do, however large or small, can make a difference. Our short courses cover a range of topics from practical skills like composting, tree planting and regenerative growing to more in-depth explorations of how to transform the systems that exacerbate our unsustainable economy and how to adapt and prepare for an uncertain future.
Explore what the climate and ecological crisis means for you, your family, your community or your career. Now is the time to play an active role in creating a fairer, more just society.
