Navona Gallegos – Dust to Soil :: Right Relations and Ecological Regeneration
Soil is where water, climate, humans, and the entire web of life intersect. By building living soil, we can mitigate climate change, reverse ocean acidification, support biodiversity, have clean water, enjoy abundant and nutrient dense foods, and support our own bodies’ healthy microbiome. The ecology of soil is complex, but we can build healthy soil with simple permaculture practices. These practices are rooted in indigenous wisdom and focus on fungi as the keystone to soil building. This workshop will cover those principles and practices that everyone can apply whether you are farming, backyard gardening, restoring wild lands, cultivating cannabis, or simply interested in how to get the best nutrition you can.

Getting real with keeping honey bees
A brief overview of the background facts of honey bee colony life, the components of hives and how they are managed through the seasons, leading to the specifics of what it takes to keep colonies alive in the region. The emphasis will be on dialogue, exchange of information and answering questions.
We have been keeping colonies of bees in this area for five years. Some years have been good honey production years, others not so much. As a proof of concept, we have not used any treatments for mites during this time period and our colony losses have been minimal.

3 practical steps to making your dreams a reality
We will be exploring what it looks like to live a life by design examining social, ecological, & financial models and their parallels using the lens of systems thinking and pattern recognition. We will start with an exercise grounding in participants the importance of systems thinking in the design process of creating and living a healthy, wealthy lifestyle let alone any lived experience. We will then draw parallels between social, ecological and financial systems in an attempt to shift the disjointed thinking/thought paradigm that prevents these systems from working in a more mutually beneficial manner.
