The Idea behind the Retreat
The idea of the weekend is to get away/relax/wonder/ponder and just be. At the same time explore a little about permaculture principles and what it means when linked with a strong faith background. Three main principles form the basis of Permaculture are people. Fair-trade/ethics and care for the earth. These three things are so intrigant in our faith as well, why don’t we bring them together and see if there are areas to strengthen our faith, our community and the world together.
