Description:
Our Permaculture Workdays are for those who have a hankering for fresh air and wish to move their bodies in the landscape. Ultimately, we learn through the act of doing, and this gives you the opportunity to do so.
Permaculture heads out of the books and into action: a day of no computers or other screens - office air, chairs and the pressure of the deadline adieu - connecting with the outdoor, living world hello!
A typical day starts at our meeting point in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg at 8:30.
We drive out together, and start our day with a Ritual of Gratitude.
Morning and afternoon working activities revolve around what the season and landscape currently require. You will be given instruction, then we will put that into action. As time and practice goes by, I will call on others in the group to instruct in turn - this being a way to really tune into what you are doing and to embody the information at a deeper level…
We make our shared lunches with ingredients from the landscape and enjoy them together.
Arrival in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg is 18:00.
These are special days of connecting and learning on many levels!
Guided by:
LEONIE WOIDT-WALLISSER
Leonie has a background in architecture, the fine arts and permaculture. Since having left her family’s off-grid homestead and extensive garden in small-town South Australia, she has lived amongst the urban populations of Australia, Germany, the US and the Netherlands. Her theoretical research in restoration ecology in the cultural sector, undertaken as part of studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, triggered her to initiate Cityplot in 2007. She co-coordinates the workshop programme and gardens in Berlin.
Leonie has many years of experience teaching and consulting in multiple facets of permaculture: food growing systems; community building and social systems; architecture, urban and landscape planning; natural building and construction with upcycled materials; nature connections and spiritual ecology; holistic and regenerative practices on all levels; and beyond. Life coming full-cycle, step-by-step she nears a self-sufficient lifestyle and delves ever deeper into the worlds of ethnobotany and deep ecology.
Leonie strongly believes that there is not a problem, which cannot be solved through tapping into the heartbeat of the Earth - and that even the smallest of garden plots will help get you there!
