NEW Monthly Mastermind
Let's level up our skills together! For a month a group of us will meet to focus on a tangible skills. Centered around group accountability, these classes are designed to push the edge of our collective learning and keep the momentum going by supporting tangible actions towards more thriving and resilient landscapes. People are needed as never before who can grow awesome, ecologically essential plants while also bringing back water and biodiversity even in the toughest scenarios. We need Sparrows.
These classes are part teaching, mentorship and accountability. Each Mastermind is structured first with your goals in mind. They are an experiment to deepend learning together, and I hope you will join me in trying one out!
🌿 JUNE Mastermind: Small-Batch Foraging: Easy Everyday Ways to Eat More Wild, Nutrient-Dense Foods While Supporting More Ecologically Resilient Landscapes
4 Tuesday classes from 7:30-9pm: 6/9, 6/16, 6/23, 6/30
Online
Ever wanted to eat more wild, free, flavorful and nutrient-dense foods? We are SURROUNDED by abundance if we just knew where to look. Come join me for 4 weeks as we take a look at concrete ways to hone foraging skills and techiques to support a healthier you as well as more ecologically abundant and thriving landscapes.
Eating wild foods may not sound like a recipe for land care, yet the very act of being fed and nourished by wild foods changes our relationship with the land. Depending more on wild food - even if just a nibble here and there - heightens our awareness of landscapes, what plants are abundant or scarce, what food there is in the wild or wild-ish places around us. It also gives us clues where we humans may be most needed!
