"Ragmans Farm matters.  Hugely.  It has developed over the years into a unique resource, a unique teaching venue, and a unique 'living classroom' for those who want to learn about permaculture and sustainable land use. 

In these times of climate change, resource depletion and economic downturn, Ragmans offers a model for a different approach for rural communities, one based on diversity, entrepreneurship, reskilling and a reconnection to land. 

Over the past 15 years, Ragmans has led by example, working hard, trying new things and experimenting.  Not everything has worked, but this is the vital niche that the pioneer fills, and we owe them a huge debt of gratitude.  The future will have much to learn from Ragmans, and much to thank it for".

  • Plant Eco Shamanism

    ‘Plant Perception and Resonance’

    One day workshop working with plant spirit with Mandy Pullen and Freya Davies

    It is said that when a person needs a plant "it stands up where it grows, calling to you. That is why it is easy to find the medicine you seek". How many of us would be sensitive enough to perceive the plants most beneficial to our healing in times of illness? How can we resonate with plants and their spirits? Do plants respond to human speech, touch, smell . . . or thoughts, feelings, intentions? How can we move into a dialogue, or resonate, with plants?

    The day is an introduction to Plant Eco Shamanism and is
    open to all . . . you don't need any 'plant knowledge'
    to work in this way. This workshop will give you a taste of the Plant Eco Shamanism Course beginning in March 2018 (different venue).

    Saturday 10th February 2018
