The Project offers workshops and retreats in four major areas of Arts/Ecology/Health/Society. The Project is predicated on the belief that the cross-pollination that naturally arises out of a multi-disciplinary approach to every enterprise, leads to a more fully actualized life and community. In awakening awareness, giving expression to and celebration of the essential qualities that are present in nature’s infinite manifestations, every human endeavour, from the cultivation of crops to the composition of music; from the art and science of healing to the discovery of natural law and the establishment of social contract will thereby be deepened.
		The Project will be offering workshops and retreats that will bring people together to study, experience and share in a serene rural setting. Surrounded by organic gardens, a magnificent Acadian forest, a lake frequented by loons and the occasional Great Blue Heron, participants will be nourished through working with some of the finest facilitators and teachers available on subjects as diverse as feature film screenwriting, building strawbale timber frame homes, working with horses in eco-forestry woodlots, healing with herbs, yoga and ayurvedic diet, poetry and prose writing and building a business with a triple bottom line.           All participants in workshops are welcomed into the life of a working organic and biodynamic farm and are encouraged to participate in the daily life that sustains the people and animals who are part of this community. As such we ask that all participants, regardless of the nature of the workshop that they are attending, consider our invitation to become involved in an activity related to the farm or woods, such as gardening, harvesting, food preparation and preservation, animal care, mushroom gathering, trail maintenance, etc. A brief period of time is set aside each day for these activities which will always include instruction and, as necessary, guidance from those who are stewards of the garden, woods or kitchen.
