Permaculture & Wellbeing: Cultivating Health (May 12, 2026)

A forthcoming webinar, titled "Cultivating Wellbeing through Permaculture," will explore the intersection of permaculture principles with education and healthcare to foster healthier, more creative, and resilient individuals. Scheduled for May 12, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM UK time, this free online event will feature permaculture educators Lusi Alderslowe and Lexington Love.

The webinar aims to demonstrate how the ethics and design principles of permaculture can offer innovative approaches to both educational practices and healthcare strategies. It will delve into how emulating natural patterns can enhance focus, encourage play, and stimulate curiosity in both children and adults. Furthermore, the discussion will cover how these principles can support practitioners in maintaining their own well-being, as well as that of their students, clients, or patients.

A key focus of the event is addressing the significant mental health challenges faced by young people today, with statistics indicating that one in six individuals aged 5 to 16 may experience anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions. The webinar seeks to provide insights into how to equip young people for contemporary challenges and how to cultivate environments that connect individuals with themselves, with others, and with the natural world.

The facilitators will discuss the transformative potential of simple, nature-based design elements, ranging from small window boxes to larger peace gardens, in spaces dedicated to learning, teaching, and healing. Attendees will hear real-world examples and narratives illustrating how outdoor learning, sensory gardens, and fostering a connection with nature can revitalize energy, improve mental health outcomes, and reignite a sense of hope and purpose.

This webinar is specifically designed for a diverse audience of practitioners and educators, including teachers, forest school leaders, parents, therapists, counselors, and health professionals. It is intended for anyone interested in discovering how permaculture can introduce greater balance, creativity, and joy into their professional work and community engagement. Participants are encouraged to come prepared to share their own ideas, ask questions, and be inspired by the possibilities that emerge when designing for deeper connections with nature, other people, and one's inner self.
