SEED Community Land Trust

Our big vision is to live and work on the land as a community. We know that to make surviving on the land outside of and within the constraints of the modern economy there needs to be people.

Skilled people, young people, old people, fit people, hard workers, lateral thinkers, and self motivated. Land workers, admin people, crafts people, forestry workers and healers…… There is room for all abilities as long as they have the shared vision of people working together to find our niche within nature once again.

We know that to heal the land and create rich soil and mychorizal networks, there needs to be diversity - when there is diversity the trees and plants take care of one and other, need less watering, and build amazing soil to ultimately feed us, and the earth! We know how to bring animals into this system to further build the land, not deplete it, while sustaining ourselves - animals that are well looked after and cared for produce amazing sustainable products for craftspeople to work and create with.

We will be following regenerative agriculture principles to build soil, and work with nature to create abundance on our land.

Our youth programs will be integrated, with vocational qualifications and apprenticeships in heritage crafts, traditional animal husbandry, as well as permaculture style edible landscapes.

Decision making processes will be based on S3 Sociocraphy, a very matriarchal empowering self led style, based on gaining empirical wisdom, testing and using initiative to move things forward without lots of beurocratic meetings that can drain energy and feed into power dynamics.

There will be room for each person to develop their own businesses that will feed into and support each other..

Also on offer will be amazing eco events such as weddings and funerals that don’t cost the earth..

We will offer retreats, workshops spaces, natural birthing and red tent, as well as men’s spaces and nature connection.
