MOTHER NATURE SPACE
The Mother Nature project is a community of mothers, women and people supporting mothers. We are committed to creating a worldwide movement of sisterhood, bringing awareness to the personal transformation journey of mothers, the transferability of their mothering skills to leadership, and the power of nature to support them.
We will be holding a Mother Nature circle each day 11am-12:30pm, and 2 workshops on Mothers as Natural Leaders, as well as being on hand in the space to talk about the project.

MUSHROOM SPACE
Regular workshops throughout the festival, where participants can develop their skills in mushroom-growing, run by the founder of Mushroom Box .
Participants can learn to grow mushrooms on logs, and get hands-on experience in producing their own mushroom-log for outdoor growing, or if they are looking for faster results, they can start-off an indoor mushroom-growing kit, which will produce mushrooms in a matter of weeks. Workshops are open to all ages and abilities. We will also be on-hand to discuss all aspects of indoor and outdoor cultivation at home.
PEACEFUL PARENTING & SLING LIBRARY
