📌 Booking deadline: May 16
We’re spending the day at Tumbili Lodge for something a little different—time to slow down, move your body, eat good food, and learn something valuable with a group of like-minded people.
This one-day event includes a gentle two hour Yin Yoga session, a relaxed lunch, and a hands-on Permaculture and Food Forest Workshop. If you’re curious about growing your own food, interested in living a bit more intentionally, or just looking for a way to spend your Saturday doing something that actually feels good, this day is for you.
10% of all ticket sales will go towards Africa Amini Alama projects.
✺ Meet Your Facilitator – Laura Maier
Laura has spent the last decade working in regenerative agriculture, teaching permaculture and helping communities build simple, sustainable systems that actually work. She previously led the Practical Permaculture Institute Zanzibar and holds a background in Global Change Management.
She’s also trained in Kemetic, Vinyasa, and Yin Yoga, and brings a calm, body-aware approach to the way she shares movement. Laura’s sessions help people slow down, get present, and pay attention to what their bodies are telling them—without overcomplicating anything.

🔸 Permaculture & Food Forest Workshop | 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
In this hands-on workshop, Laura will guide you through the basics of permaculture and food forest design. You'll explore:
A grounding welcome using “Cards for Life”
The roots and ethics of permaculture
What makes a food forest thrive
