About us
Who are we?
We are Alice & George, a medical doctor and a gardener with a shared passion for soil, good food, health in all its forms and better futures. You can read more about our multi-tasking at www.thekitchengarden.se & www.normancider.se.
Our philosophy
We believe in the power of collective change, and in the contribution of individuals to that collective, with multiple ways of knowing and being.
So much needs to change, but how? How can our systems be transformed? We don’t have these answers, but we believe they lie in how we relate to ourselves, each other and nature, how we feel part of nature rather than separate from it. How we treat soil and nature reflects back on how we treat ourselves, ourselves being inextricably part of nature, and of soil.
What we offer
Online courses
With a focus on soil health, growing food in natural ecosystems and eating for health and planet, we aim to bring understanding, curiosity and practical ways forward in an accessible way at the same time as highlighting the overarching complexity and uncertainty in navigating better futures.
We strive to make our online courses applicable to different contexts. The format of self-paced online courses offers flexibility and opportunity to connect across geographical borders. However, online courses may lack the essential component of community and shared learning. We therefore host a closed Facebook group for our courses where participants can discuss, question and share different perspectives.
Live courses and talks
Live courses can offer a more context-bound experience. In these settings, we can run more specific courses in growing and soil health. We are based on the West coast of Sweden and can come to your growing space or garden, alternatively we can also run live courses online.
