RE NATURE

Are you curious about the latest developments in food forests, and regenerative and cooperative agriculture? The pioneers in this field tell us more about this. Do you want to get started growing, harvesting, preserving or fermenting your own food? There are various workshops: fermentation (kefir, miso, bokashi), permaculture and tincture making. Would you like to know more about Indigenous nature wisdom or are you curious about a (nature) ceremony, a concert with plants, a wild picking or art walk or a theatre piece? RE NATURE is a multidisciplinary, substantive, experience-oriented festival with a leading role in art and nature. Creative makers and green pioneers invite you to look closer during this special weekend.
