Bernhard Hartbeansl and Sunseed’s organic garden staff invite you to a weekend workshop of seed saving:

With the widespread use of hybrid and modern varieties and the dominance of a few multinational seed companies, we experience an incredibly rapid loss in diversity in our gardens and on our plates. Learn how to select and save your own seeds from different varieties of veggies and aromatics: adapt your varieties to your personal choices and your garden’s needs, maintain and enhance productivity, save money on seeds, interchange with fellow gardeners, become independent from the availability of one or another variety and the international seed business, contribute to the preservation of our cultural and enjoy a closer connection with and deeper understanding of your plants and garden.

Topics covered:

GMOs, hybrids, heirlooms – what is that all?
Plant taxonomy: family-genus-species-variety
Basic plant physiology: flowers, pollination
Avoiding cross pollination and maintaining your varieties pure
Proper harvesting, cleaning and storage of your seeds

This workshop does not require previous knowledge and skills – it helps to have gardening experience.

The weekend course consists of 12 hours of theory and practice, presentations, chats, garden walks and practical examples of hand pollination, seed cleaning, building an isolation cage and lots more. It is held in English. Workshops in Spanish are available at different dates.

Bernhard Hartl is an Austrian horticulturist, biochemist and veg enthusiast. He lives and grows veggies, fruit, herbs and ornamentals in Spain since 2004 and works with plants on a professional level since 1998 (nursery, pruning, horticulture, landscaping). His original training

Yo Mujer, Yo Ecologico, Yo Gaia

Taller Vivencial de Ecologia Profunda para Mujeres Un fin de semana para Reconectarnos con nuestro Poder, la Naturaleza y la Red de la Vida Vivimos en tiempos desafiantes, con crisis en nuestros ecosistemas, economias y sociedades que están afectando a toda la vida del planeta. Para muchas personas esto puede ser angustioso y abrumador; tal vez no sepan como reaccionar. En este taller vamos a explorar como son nuestras respuestas al estado actual en que se encuentra el mundo; de un modo que nos ayude a despertar y acceder a la motivación, creatividad, fuerza y solidaridad necesarias para la transición a una cultura humana sostenible. Juntas haremos un recorrido que nos llevará a espacios en los que podamos reconocer en que maneras, nosotras como mujeres, sentimos los peligros que hay en estas crisis, experimientando sus efectos y visualizando y co-creando nuestro futuro. El sonido nos acompañara en este viaje y jugaremos con nuestras voces y tambores, para expresar nuestros sentires, nuestros deseos y nuestras esperanzas. Estas prácticas pueden reconectarnos con nuestro poder, el poder CON la Tierra, en lugar de Sobre la Tierra, lo cual es algo que las mujeres desde la antigüedad han sabido y entendido. Vivir en plenitud es conectar con nosotras mismas como partes activas de la Red de la Vida. Las mujeres siempre han sido activas en los movimientos sociales y medioambientales: en la Guerra Civil española, las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo en Argentina, en el Reino Unido ha existido un campamento antinuclear con unicamente mujeres por 20 años. Y más recientemente oimos las voces emergentes del Sur como Vandana Shiva y Wangari Maathai en campañas por la soberania alimentaria y los derechos de acceso a los recursos locales para la población local. Estas prácticas que realizaremos, han sido desarrolladas y utilizadas desde hace más de 40 años y están basadas en el trabajo de Joanna Macy, ecofilósofa, activista, estudiosa y profesora de la teoria de sistem

Dragon Dreaming - participatory project design

Learn how to realise ideas and projects that others do not even dare to dream about. Giving you the opportunity to connect inspirational learning with a holiday, we have chosen the Croatian island Brač and the project Gea Viva for a special Dragon Dreaming experience. Located in a Mediterranean garden close the fishing village Milna, Gea Viva is a retreat camp and eco base, that invites you delve deeply into nature. The venue is surrounded by special places, such as the dragon’s cave, which will inspire our process. Here you can unwind, find inspiration, meet like-minded people and experience Permaculture, eco living, art and the creative forces of the Earth. Dragon Dreaming For all, who wish to discover and live their personal values and visions in life: in relationships, teams and projects. Intensive workshop You will evolve your project ideas through the Dragon Dreaming process: in the dreaming circle, you will experience how your idea (dream) becomes a joint vision, how to attract others and how dreams can be transformed into step-by step action. You will also learn how to navigate your project, which factors determine it’s success or failure and how to recognize them. Exploring all phases of Dragon Dreaming, we will create a joint project, based on inputs and needs of all participants. Learning by doing, you will be equipped with tools to persevere and refine your ideas when faced with dragons (challenges). To overcome blockages or win new project members and supporters, you will learn deep listening and charismatic communication. This powerful technique and the beautiful environment, will boost your intuition and creativity. You will find out how celebration and acknowledgment contribute to success and experience this through visiting special places on Brač, time in nature and on the beach. After this workshop, you will brim with ide
