Guided By: Leonie Woidt-Wallisser & Delia De Simone
Description:
Have you ever considered how a healthy, thriving soil can affect our gut and digestive health?
Have you ever contemplated that there is such a thing as ‘healthy soil’, ‘sick soil’ - a ‘healthy’ or ‘unhealthy gut’?
Have you ever pondered that unhealthy soil can fart?
This two-part workshop sheds light on exactly these topics: what makes up both soil and gut health individually, and the incredible connection between the two.
Over two consecutive Wednesday evenings, we will open up the doors on two topics, which have not long been subjects unto themselves in the modern world - let alone that one is strongly linked to the other.
We will learn of the latest research and parallel this alongside ancient wisdom.
Then we will show you how to create soil health - whether or not you have access to any directly - why this is important, and the range of ways you can support your own microbiome.
There will be chances to listen, watch, interact, taste, play and laugh!
Be ready to tread and savour the world differently…

LEONIE WOIDT-WALLISSER
Leonie has a background in architecture, the fine arts and Permaculture. Since having left her family’s off-grid homestead and extensive garden in small-town South Australia, she has lived amongst the urban populations of Australia, Germany, the US and the Netherlands. Her theoretical research in restoration ecology in the cultural sector, undertaken as part of studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, triggered her to initiate Cityplot in 2007. She co-coordinates the workshop programme and gardens in Berlin.
Leonie has many years of experience teaching and consulting in multiple facets of permaculture: food growing systems; community building and social systems; architecture, urban and landscape planning; natural building and construction with up-cycled materials; nature connections and spiritual ecology; holistic and regenerative practices on all levels; and beyond. Life coming full-cycle, step-by-step she nears a self-sufficient lifestyle and delves ever deeper into the worlds of ethnobotany and deep ecology.
Leonie strongly believes that there is not a problem, which cannot be solved through tapping into the heartbeat of the Earth - and that even the smallest of garden plots will help get you there!
DELIA DE SIMONE
Delia is a Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert originally from Toronto, Canada and currently living in Berlin, Germany. She has a degree in Urban Planning and a master’s in Public Policy, and has worked on improving the environments around her, with the goal of making communities more liveable and sustainable. Delia’s passion for good food and her journey into the world of culinary nutrition stems from the emphasis on delicious homemade food in her Italian family, and the effects of food in her personal health struggles. Becoming a Culinary Nutrition Expert has given her a deeper understanding of the connection between food and the power it has to help build health, as well as to destroy it. She uses her expertise to demonstrate how to prepare delicious food which is healthy, seasonal and easy to make. Sharing knowledge on the health benefits of the foods we use plays an important part in the process. She believes that learning about where our food comes from, how it’s grown, prepared and consumed are all integral to building our health.
Delia’s approach is informative and fun! It’s all about learning and cooking together. It’s hands-on -combining wholesome food and simple know-how with a whole lot of good energy, and the passion to pass it on!
