Description
Over the years we’ve had people let us know that they wanted to come to the Sacred Gardener School, but the four seperate trips to the School was not doable for them. Then they ask if it’s possible to come for a single, longer, session?
Now it is.
Starting this April we are opening another in-person hands-on learning experience with Steven and Megan. We call it the EARTH WISDOM GATHERING.
A gathering of kindred souls, where we gather wisdom, and gifts of the land like herbs and food. A retreat from the hectic, mechanistic, industrial reality of our time, to gather our thoughts and re-align ourselves with the Earth and our deepest aspirations. Your time in the Earth Wisdom Gathering sessions will be a bit more like an apprenticeship than a course of intensive learning as the school offers. Send us a message to learn more, or click the link below. I hope you are as excited as we are for this!

This is a unique opportunity for both graduates and people who have not yet been to the Sacred Gardener school. In the Earth Wisdom Gatherings our approach to teaching and working with you will differ from The Sacred Gardener School. The times seem to call for a more open ended way to be with and learn from Steven and Megan. The Earth Wisdom Gatherings are longer stand-alone sessions, with many options. There is some structure but no curriculum and no agenda other than what the land and farm are calling us to do, and working toward deepening your connection with the Earth. Steven will teach and be your guide for ‘the circle’ and some of the day’s activities, but in a less instructional way than with the SG school. There is no long format for the weeks, only day to day planning, guided by the qualities of that day and those who are present. In the Gatherings you will have more personal free-time each day, and all activities are optional. You can be social or spend time by yourself as much as you like.

7 days of teachings and guidance

While we have set our asking price at 1100 (cost with camping), we are offering Sliding Scale (pay what you are able) for this event. Choose the amount you are able to offer, starting from $650 CAN.
The start time both weeks is mid-day Monday and wrap-up midday on the second Sunday.
There are two open Gatherings a year, Spring and early Fall, right at the start and the end of the growing season. You can come to just one, or both Gatherings each year, or keep coming every year! There’s always more to learn and more depth to experience.
In some ways your time at The Gathering is more like an apprenticeship, in that we are not catering our tasks to you and giving you all our time (as we do with the school), but rather you’ll be helping us as we go about our daily tasks. Once you’re onto something, for efficiency we may also just ‘leave you to it’ while we move onto something else. This is learning through doing. There is a way the wisdom comes into your hands and body and stillness that comes from working gently with the Earth for hours and days. With the SG school we set up shorter ‘work’ periods so you do many diverse tasks in a day, for the greatest range of experiences. With the farm stay you may just do one task all day or over many days.
