The cold wind breathes clarity into our weary minds. The turning of the seasons point us in the right direction. The Winter whispers: “within.” The moon drips lessons at the pace our heart can keep. In the habitual panic of where to go, what to do, what to say and who to be – through it all, we yet all stand upon the body of the real. Even towers press into dirt and bedrock. Look down. The Earth is calling her children home.


2025 Workshops Coming This Spring

The end of the world* is a very good time to learn some Permaculture.

Sign up below or check back here to receive announcements for our affordable weekend and 3-day Permaculture workshops in North Carolina and Virginia.

*may not actually be the end of the world, terms and conditions apply, and within all that’s falling apart, new ways of life in harmony with the earth are being born.

Permaculture Design Consultation

We are working with a small number of clients in North Carolina and Southwest Virginia who are interested in seasonal Permaculture guidance on their land. We are especially interested in folks looking to make a big committment to transforming their land in 2025. Read about our Permaculture design process here.

For those interested in going off-grid in 2025, Matt is now offering personal guidance with a Permaculture lens. In-person and remote sessions available. Learn more.
