TERRA-KHAYA HOGSBACK
is hosting a 5 Day Intensive
Permaculture course
Facilitated by Tim Wigley
Friday 17th – Tuesday 21st Aril 2015
The focus of this course is
RECONNECTING WITH NATURE.
Tim believes that it is when our decisions are inspired by a love of
nature and a desire to be in step with her potent regenerative
processes, then techniques like Permaculture Design become
powerful tools with which we can transform the face of the Earth.
In these workshops Tim transmits his deep love for
nature.
It was this love for nature that in 1980 drove him to
seek ways of farming with nature rather than working
against nature, the way industrial agriculture does.
Shocked into action by the damage he saw being done
to the soil by the use of agricultural chemicals; Tim
spent the next twenty years establishing his farm
Ikhwezi Lokusa into a highly advanced Permaculture
system that has been an inspiration for people who
have visited there from all over the world.
Later another crisis of conscience drove Tim to focus
on sharing Natural Farming with people in villages in
the former Transkei and Ciskei. This crisis was also
inspired by a love of nature. When Tim saw the
environmental degradation occurring in the areas
where he was working, he was driven to resign his job
as a development coordinator, and form Earth
Harmony Innovators. This work has seen the
establishment of resilient and productive homesteads in a number of rural villages.
And this is the essence of what this workshop at Terra-Khaya will be about:
creating a deep appreciation for the way ecosystem processes work.
The course will be assisted by Shane - Earth Guardian @ Terra-Khaya.
Hogsback in general and Terra-Khaya (Earth Home Project) in particular, is an ideal
setting for us to fire up our love for this beautiful planet.
We are hoping that the people who attend will leave with both a deep sense of
connection with nature, as well as an understanding of how natural processes work.
We hope you leave inspired and ready to live abundantly in a way that
enhances all life around us.
These topics are the basket of tools we would like to present and use as we seek
to work with nature in a regenerative way.
