Take action. Learn through experience. Build together. Get dirty.
Learn to trust your intuition.
Our goal is to hold space for people to practice creating positive interventions on the land. Water Stories Workshops offer a deep dive into the practical aspects of reshaping landscapes to benefit local ecology.
Gain practical experience.
Our objective with each workshop is to offer participants a diverse range of hands-on, educational experiences. Installing substantial earthworks projects, like ponds, requires a significant amount of time. However, thanks to the generosity of our workshop hosts, we are able to provide a wide array of workshop styles, durations, and locations. Each workshop presents distinctive opportunities for learning, tackling challenges, and forging connections.

Restoring the Tuscan Watershed
A four day workshop was held at Tenuta di Paganico in Tuscany, Italy. Our goal was to uncover a path forward for the regeneration of fire prone landscapes and restore water security to Tuscany and beyond. This workshop was made possible by the Tuscan Environmental Foundation. Content was organized by Zach Weiss from Elemental Ecosystems (USA) and Lorenzo Costa, from Azienda Agricola La Scoscesa, Tuscany (Italy).
