🥗 Finally, join us for a nutritious and delicious plant-based potluck and enlightening conversations about holistic health!!
🍠 Bring your homemade vegan, raw food, and whole plant based dishes to share with fellow plant-based pioneers. Whether you're new to a plant-based lifestyle or a seasoned vegan, this potluck is a great opportunity to expand your recipe collection and connect with like-minded individuals who value sustainable and compassionate living.
🧊 Make sure to bring a cooler for your dish if you have one!! We have limited fridge space so first come, first serve. Also bring lots of liquids and remember to stay hydrated throughout the day! It will be hot so come prepared :).
🗣️ After enjoying the plant-powered feast, we'll dive into a lively discussion about holistic health. Gain insights into the benefits of organic foods, learn about the latest developments in whole food nutrition, and explore the connections between nutrition and overall wellness. Share your experiences, ask questions, and engage in a supportive community that is passionate about healthy living and caring for the environment.
🌿✨🦋 This event is open to all, including those who are curious about transitioning towards a plant-based diet or those who simply want to connect with others who share similar values. Come join us and be inspired to live a more vibrant, sustainable, and compassionate life through the power of plants.

We will hold a special edible and native plant sale and learn how to use natural principles to design your life to work with nature to create abundance in this wide ranging lecture and workshop.
Many requests have come in asking us to offer an online version from people whose schedules don’t match up with our in-person courses or who prefer to study online. This course can be studied at your own pace, with a focus on your own site design. Creating the opportunity for a participatory and hands-on experience is important to us, so we include practical exercises that you perform on your own site. In addition we will have live Q and A sessions and personal mentoring with instructors and you will be able to share your experience with instructors and other students via photos, essays or videos.
We have added some exciting learning modules to the online version and other extras, including units with experts covering various topics. The course will address strategies for drylands, temperate, tropical and other climates based on the significant knowledge and experience of our instructors working in those climates and will also have bonus sections focused specifically on Florida/subtropical climate because of how unique the ecosystem is in Florida. Many of these techniques are very useful in multiple climates and we explain how and why.
Students will have an opportunity to self-test their knowledge, to join discussion groups with other students, to participate in question and answer sessions on Zoom (online video conference software) with instructors, and to get feedback from a personal mentor. In addition there are in-person modules for those who want that, and special sessions we normally can’t offer in person because of time and site constraints. We feel this exceeds the learning experience from an in-person course alone.
Sunday the 13th is a welcome meeting for Q&A at 1pm (EST), the first Zoom call is on Tuesday the 15th at 7pm and then the first and third Tuesday for six months, and is recorded.
You can sign up here.
