TINY GARDEN SANCTUARIES

A Permaculture initiative for building food, nutritional + psycho-spiritual resilience in challenging times.

Tiny Garden Sanctuaries (TiGS) is a pilot eco-peace, creative grassroots, trauma-sensitive and a regenerative model for cultural change.

It will bring together people from diverse backgrounds in a series of Permaculture Workshops and life-nurturing Sanctuary Circles.

the challengeS

Growing poverty in the face of inflation, crop losses due to climate change, food shortages
A global mental health crisis
The loss of green spaces + nature deficit disorder
Declining ability to meet nutritional needs
Traumatic responses to conflict + global crises

TiGS aims to build a strong foundation for both personal + cultural healing, wellbeing and transformation; so we could heal history and open to new possibilities.

1. Learn how to grow and preserve your own food and meet nutritional needs.

2. Create tiny gardens as sanctuaries in your home as well as in a community space.

3. Nurture your “inner sanctuary” through trauma-sensitive mind-body practices, life-story work, sharing, team and relationship building.

4. Explore your “sacred identity” and the labels, narratives and histories we adopt through cultural conditioning, transgenerational patterns, survival and stress responses.

Let nature show you how to solve problems + live a healthy life.

What’s Permaculture?

Permaculture refers to building a “permanent” culture – that looks to nature as a model for how we should structure our lives in healthy ways – how we should care for the natural world, ourselves, and each other.

Permaculture uses a set of design principles derived from whole-systems thinking and considers larger ecosystems and the interconnections of life. It isn’t just about gardening, it’s a whole new way of seeing the world that can encourage cultural change, social and personal healing.

Permaculture values health and spiritual well-being as necessary for sustainable development, ecological design, and peace-building built on the foundation of healthy, whole people and communities.

HAPPY CLIENTS

“I just feel better about everything

I can see the bigger picture and understand why I went through what I went through and appreciate the opportunities being offered me. Working with Kim helped me see that the universe really knows what it’s doing, that we are always supported and guided, and that there is a blessing and Divine hand in everything. Nothing short of inspiring.”
