I’m going back to school this month – winter school, that is.
At the end of June (and into July), METAVarsity, a ‘college of metaphysical study’ is hosting a series of ‘Earth healing’ workshops, to be held at the Kirstenbosch Stone Cottage.
Some of the workshops offered that have particularly piqued my interest are:
- Walking Lightly on the Earth (Susan Dittke, Envirosense) – for those of us wanting to lighten our footsteps on the earth by wasting less, using more sustainable solutions.
- Journey to the Earth (Liz Eglington, Blue Sky Organics) – Community-based and organic olive farmer Liz Eglington shares her realisation that no matter where we live, or what we do, we are all an integral part of nature.
- Live your life organically (Pat Featherstone, Soil For Life) – inspirational and practical ways to live your life more organically: low-cost, water-wise, environment-friendly ideas that you can apply in your everyday life.
I’ve already signed up for all of the above, so perhaps I’ll see you there!
METAVarsity Winter School runs from Monday 30 June to Saturday 5 July (starting times 14h00 and 19h00). Each workshop is either two or three hours long and costs R85 or R145 respectively (with the exception of one, which is R25).
You can download the full programme here or visit their website to request further information. Booking is essential.

What’s green at the Cape Town Book Fair in 2009
The Cape Town Book Fair kicks off this weekend at the CTICC. Now, I don't know about you, but I generally like to have a focus when attending big events like this one. The event stretches out over four days, so if you have plenty of time, you could always keep coming back for more, but I tend to pick whatever day is of most interest to me, and leave the rest. more

James on 
am so glad you posted this! i probably would have completely missed it otherwise. i am pretty keen to go to Pat’s talk. might see you there. now it just depends if i get paid next week and if there’s still space…
i heard it about via the ethical coop, otherwise i’d have missed it too! i don’t tend to order anything from the coop, because i usually go the markets myself, but it’s useful to be on their mailing list and hear all sorts of green and foodie news. hope to see you at Pat’s talk – would be great to meet a fellow greenie!
hi pia, i should have told you yesterday but i ended up not going to the talk
we got a new puppy on monday and he is kinda taking up my time at the moment. which is fine, cos he’s super cute, but i am bummed i missed it. how was it?
hey candice, new puppy’s a pretty good reason to be busy
no worries – i had a look around but didn’t spot anyone i thought might be you. it was awesome, as all pat’s talks are! a wonderful combination of practical and spiritual… when i’ve recovered from my move i’ll definitely be writing about it!
