Happy to be partnering with Plantify and Happy Space to provide a platform for a wonderful human being to share her life and work on 15th December.

How time flies! Six years ago in Incredible India, on my first trip there exploring options for what has today become a very popular module.

Having tea with a group of migrant herders near Wardha where the SI Explorers module is based.

This year, I'll have the honor and privilege to co-facilitate (with Rosie Downey) an amazing immersion in INDIA (Wardha) - Comparative studies in regenerative food systems - where we'll live together at Dharamitra Experimental Farm that is being rescuing and researching ancient and traditional methods of farming.
The price for foreigners (out of South Africa) is US$ 850,00 (accomodation, food, learning journey - 13 days - from 22/08/2016 to 03/09/2016), excluding your transport in and out of Wardha.
This amazing video will give you an idea about the work of Dr.Tarak Kate and Dr.Sonali Phate, our hosts at Dharamitra Farm.

Reflecting on a Deep Experience - Belo Monte and the hand of growth

Scoping out locations for an African SI Explorers module this week in the only African country never to have been colonised. Luke Metelerkamp and with SI MPhil student Gwen Meyer took a journey 2000m down (and up again) the Ethiopian plateau in search of hidden valleys in north eastern Tigray. Very remote, deeply inspiring, extremely hard going.

On behalf our the Sustainability Institute and all our students who have been blessed by the generosity of the Nepali people over the last 3 years, our prayers are with the country in this sad time. We will be back in September this year, and hope to contribute in whatever small way possible to reconstruction of heart and home.
