It has been proved that Indigenous people around the world have an essential relationship with nature. We are still the main protectors of Mother Earth, but our contributions have been downplayed by western civilization.

During this immersion, we will offer workshops exploring Permaculture from an Indigenous perspective, urban organic farming, building with cob, backyard composting, permaculture design, contour curves, terraces, the process of building a composting toilet, tools to develope your agritourism project and more. Throughout the weekend, participants will also have time to build relationships with other farmers and aspiring growers, sharing knowledge, stories, and inspiration.

The immersion will conclude with an optional sweat lodge/temazcal ceremony, offering space for healing and deeper connection with one another and the land.

Immersion maximum capacity: 20 people

We’re keeping the group intentionally small so everyone can fully participate in the hands-on learning.
