Rewild your Life!
Nourishing every aspect of your life — including home, work, mind & body — not only helps you thrive. It helps the planet. Rewilding includes us humans, too! We are part of the Earth.
The holistic and empowering approach of the course will both increase your awareness and provide you with practical skills and information to rewild your life. With the support of course tutors and your peers, you will experience the liberating joy of applying permaculture design principals and the sister sciences of heart-centred Ayurveda & Yoga to address any challenges you may be facing in life.
Vishwam Heckert, PhD & Govinda Dean have been working professionally for a combined 20 years to support others to incorporate life changing practices into their lives and seen the tremendous benefits they bring. Of course, it was seeing their own lives dramatically improve through self care that encouraged them to train deeply in order to share these techniques and wisdom teachings.
Permaculture is an ethical design process inspired by indigenous science and the observation of how natural systems thrive. We can apply this process to any aspect of our lives, not just gardening!
Ayurveda is an ecologically inspired holistic approach to health and healing, practised successfully for thousands of years.
Yoga is a complete science of liberation through reintegrating our whole self. Exploring the way we move, think, breathe and live can offer profound insights into what is holding us back from shining and naturally help those barriers drop away.
