Our Toronto team at our latest perennial polyculture garden!
This past weekend Deepening Roots held a 2-day workshop in Toronto and for a third time in a row it was a success!
The two days were taught by four teachers in training who had taken the Summer Intensive over the past few years. It was exciting to see the growth and future of Deepening Roots on display, and in this authors opinion they all did an amazing job.
In case you all are wondering what these workshops are all about, I can give you a quick breakdown.
The overarching goal is to support sustainable development. We aim to achieve this goal through Personal Growth (a healthy body, a content mind, feeling empowered) Community Development (getting inspired implement your new knowledge and share it with friends and family) Sustainable Agriculture (supporting our connection to our land and food) and Health (understanding digestion and other body processes).
From these paths, the 5 elements of Deepening Roots are born
1 Meditation
2 Health and Wellness
3 Sustainable Agriculture
4 Community Development
5 Empowerment
Currently, most of the team is up at the Art of Living international center in Quebec and implementing a edible landscape around the main building. We will update you with that ongoing process as the days pass.
