ABOUT
WILD FOOD WEEKEND WORKSHOP
Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th August
11am - 5pm
Held in the Veld and Sea Glasshouse, kitchen cabin and surrounding cultivated gardens and fynbos mountainside. Join Roushanna Gray and the Veld and Sea team on this multi-day workshop that will empower you with the skills and confidence to further your connection to your food, the seasons and cycles of nature through this immersive learning experience. We will embark on integration exercises into our natural surroundings, learning to become aware of the signs of nature and heightened perception through expanding our senses.
