Entwined Worlds talk
by Kate Roberts
Entwined Worlds is about the surprising connections between our health, soil health and planetary health. It is the start of a journey for everyone.
There is a soil version, a human health version, and a climate change version of the talk for you to choose from. They are fundamentally the same but differ in how much time is spent on each of these sections.
Look out for dates under the 'Upcoming events' tab, and posted on our Facebook group, or request a talk for your community group, club or a venue near you.
We can also hold the talk here with us in Crosby Ravensworth, where you can choose between having it indoors or pondside!
