Ecological Homecoming

Befriending your Place and all the Life around you
Starts in March 2026

Are you nourished by seeing the birds and other life around you?
Are you wondering how can you deepen and encourage those relationships?

Ecological Homecoming is our rich nature connection journey, with 17 evening calls introducing outdoor activities to help you to connect and root more deeply to your place, and the flow of the seasons and the rest of life going through it.

Based on the 8 Shields model of nature connection and culture repair, this yearlong journey supports you to use tried and tested core routines of deep nature connection practices where you live.

May 23rd to June 6th 2026

I am returning to Tinos Ecolodge to lead my eighth PDC there, and I look forward to sharing the power of permaculture design, and exploring the brilliant eco houses, water systems and gardens they are developing there.

Join us for 2 weeks of connective culture and ecological inspirations, learning how to grow resilience and abundances in your life.

Here’s a nice video showing some of the things that happen at the Ecolodge, on and off the permaculture courses :

Join us for a week long camp, learning and living together outdoors, and experience healthy, nature centred intergenerational community and culture.

The Nature Culture Connection Camp is powered by the 8 Shields, a universal map distilled from Indigenous knowledge around the world – creating a cultural container that connects, opens and empowers us all as we start to feel the regenerative village supporting us once more.

Enjoy a lived experience of the beautiful and connected world that is possible and learn to repair and build culture through strengthening connection to oneself, others and the earth.

The small group activities this year include Village Building, Animal hide tanning, Harmony singing, Bird language, Interspecies communication and more…
