Medicinal Gardening
Event description
Our
society has become disconnected from the ability to heal ourselves and
contribute to our overall health by the ways of preventative,
precautionary and nourishing Medicine. Two thirds of Pharmaceuticals are
still derived from plant sources today. Become more self-reliant and
resilient by taking back our ancient wisdom and bringing healing into
your own hands.
In this 5 hour workshop you will delve into the world of healing plants. Develop an intuitive approach to health and well-being combined with the theoretic and scientific with Taj, the Perma Pixie.
What you will Learn:
- Growing Conditions of Individual Plants
- Plant Germination and Cultivation
- Designing a Medicine Garden using Permaculture Principles
By
the end of the session you will have more of a firm grasp on how you
can start to build medicinal resilience in your own backyard!
Trainer Bio:
The Perma Pixie (Taj Scicluna) is passionate and motivated to inspire and educate people to live more nourishing and regenerative lifestyles with a deep connection to Nature. Using her skills of Permaculture and Herbalism, she reminds those wishing for a deeper sense of purpose that individual and collective action can generate change and reformat the current state of humanity.
Being a fringe dweller, The Perma Pixie straddles the worlds of nature connection and professional business, hoping this will ripple through to others and create larger effects beyond the scope of her reach. She intends to create a fusion of ancient wisdom with modern times, weaving the awareness of the past with the knowledge at present to form a synergy that will benefit future generations.
Taj
is well versed in Permaculture Design, specialising in Ornamental
Edible Gardens that mimic natural systems for beauty and efficiency. Her
journey has now lead her to facilitate Social Permaculture workshops,
focusing on the awareness of the self and how we may integrate ourselves
back into forms of community for a positive impact on the Earths
systems and processes.
