Last weekend 25 wonderful souls descended on us for a weekend with Satish and June! Special thanks to Charlie for holding things so elegantly. As this weekend was fully booked we’ve booked in a rerun of the course later in the year - book now before it’s too late!

Bernie, one of our Community Development Leads in the Torbay & South Devon area, recently hosted the second Festival of Human Connection. Check out the video, photos, and a few testimonials from attendees now: loom.ly/IWfwl28 @DPT_NHS @shekinahcharity @SchumacherColl

Great coverage of @DevonMHA's human connection event hosted here late last year, with mental health professionals from across the area convening in the Old Postern to discuss trauma-informed practice, ecotherapy & redefining the human. mentalhealthdevon.co.uk/news/2024-01-0…

“We need education to remind us that humans and nature are not separate. At the moment we think of nature as something else - forests, mountains, birds and so on. But humans are nature.” Great to see this new interview with our inspiring founder! theguardian.com/education/2023…

The Regenerative Enterprise module of our Regenerative Economics MA is also offered as a short course. Could be the one of last opportunities to experience our kind of transformative education, at least in this field & in this place. See you in January? dartington.org/event/regenera…
