Erasmus + projects and soil workshops (On Friday’s I write)

Read this post about our upcoming Erasmus+ projects and find out how you can join us on a Permaculture training! This week Lou also shares the Urban Permaculture projects happening in Barcelona.

It’s one of those days where I feel like I have taken on too much. A day to make sure I find the time for some nourishment and empowerment as well as a lot of movement and doing. I am surrounded by house and parenting work (Kira has to pack for Colonias this weekend) and also in the middle of funding applications, managing volunteers and leading workshops. But I have been juggling tasks long enough to have learnt that finding calm, quiet reflection and time to write really does give you space and help you find the joy in what you are doing. And as my yogi tea told me yesterday “Joy is the essence of success”. 

So this weeks post is a gathering and organising of ideas, current projects, opportunities and needs. 

erasmus + projects
1) living the questions, sanillés 21 – 29 june 2021

I am facilitating this youth worker training on “Regenerative Cultures” with the amazing Aline at a stunning location in the Pyrenees. Frank manages the place and will be hosting us and providing food and we are starting a new collaboration with Sam Miller. Me and Sam had a wonderful meeting yesterday talking about the soil food web, JADAM methods for growing effective microorganisms and we have planned the practical sessions to make and spray these “magical” potions. 

We are looking for two volunteers to join us for the week! In return for all food and lodging and attending as much of the course as you can, these two volunteers will help us manage the participants in their reflections groups, indivdual taks, housekeeping roles and timekeeping – and be classroom assistants for Anna Louise and Aline. Please contact us if you are interested! thegurney@gmail.com  INFO HERE

2) “BETTER THAN NEW” – YOUTH EXCHANGE AT PIPIRIMOSCA SEPTEMBER 2021

Jessica and Pere are taking the lead on organising this exchange near Valls in Catalunya. A week of exploring permaculture, circular economy and getting hands on experiences to develop skills at fixing and upcycling anything from technology, to building and clothes, to waste food! We are looking for 6 participants from Spain, all expenses paid, INFO HERE

3)ecosocial design everywhere, Youth Worker Training November 2021

Boodaville is very excited to start a new collaboration with Vidalia Intentional Community, and to reunite with Alfred 8 years after teaching our first course together (with the beautiful name “Think Like a Forest”). This project is still a half-finished application at the moment – deadline in 3 days!!!

4) youth exchange with vidalia

In a very last minute move, and mainly because Carlos had the capacity, we have also jumped in to put together a youth exchange with groups of young people coming to Vidalia to co-create the future living spaces, learn and share the important ideas and designs behind living as a community. (Also in the project writing phase)

urban permaculture workshops

I am also preparing for two workshops over the weekend.. thinking about plants, wooden posts, which screws we need, which photos I want to take and share, whether the “good soil” I collected from the Boodaville food forest is still alive after being in a cupboard downstairs for a month! (I hope so!)

Due to COVID limitations, both workshops are already full. We will do more!
