Bear Bio

Bear has run food, healing spaces, craft and land based projects across the UK, France, India, Sri Lanka & Costa Rica over the last 15 years and he has now returned to the UK to offer a series of hands on workshops in fermenting, preserving, plant based craft, breath and bodywork. We’ll be exploring how to tend to our inner garden, remember ancestral ways of preserving the abundance of autumn produce and learn to better listen to our bodies' needs and respond with care. No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to work with your hands and body. We use a sliding scale to offer different price points and make these workshops more accessible.
