Women's Syntropic Food Forest Course
To quote a legendary woman in the movement of Regenerative agriculture, Vandana Shiva "The history of food is the history of women, the history of seed is the history of women, The erasure of natures creativity is the erasure of women's creativity."
We hope to inspire women to step into their full power of nurture, creativity, and intuitive knowledge and to unite women in creating economically viable, climate resilient, regenerative livelihoods.

Frida Keegan
Brought up in the embrace of this epic syntropic lifestyle from day dot, she weaves her training in art in her design and teaching of syntropic agroforestry. With a passion and talent for unpacking the complexities of Syntropic Agroforestry in clear design processes this course enables others to grasp the concepts and become empowered. Inspired to run women's only courses after Gudron Göstch in NSW Australia, her passion is to provide a creative space to train women in this intuitive practice.
Mati Roche
An avid market gardener and facilitator from France, her passion for growing an abundance of nutrient dense organic food is inspiratory! Since joining our family team, she has incorporated syntropy into her planting rotation and garden management. Her continued learning and incorporation of new techniques to further increase abundance and fertility is deeply complimentary to the this course as offers a great symbiosis to the practice of Syntropic Agroforestry.
Feedback
"Frida was absolutely amazing; an inspiration, magnetic in personality and endlessly knowledgeable.
The course was so thorough, well-organised and content heavy. Broken down into manageable chunks and interspersed with heavenly tea breaks and a beautiful lunch provided by Ness in her gorgeous kitchen.
We all walked away inspired, excited and empowered and felt so honoured to have been a tiny part of the Lotz-Keegan family-business story.
I could not recommend this course more highly for anyone... from beginner gardeners to hardened farmers.
Thank you so much to Frida, Ness and Mattie for such an incredible opportunity. Watch out... we'll be back!."
