Earth-based Insights from Arnold and Amy Mindell
Taken from the mindell's website...
"Good seminar and consulting experiences this September 09 have brought us several Earth-based insights. One is that everything that happens is part of this earth (or universe). Does this seem obvious? It is, and is not. If everything is nature, then, we need remember the importance of environmental activism –as many of us know– and also the importance of “recycling the bad guys,” that is finding the essence and importance of big business etc. Care for nature, i.e. all of nature to work together and make the most rapid ecological change."

Reskilling the Valley Interviews underway with local Mushroom Growers/Foragers
The reskilling the valley project is part funed by the AONB Sustainable Development fund. The Apricot Centre is spending the next 6 months researching the skills for sustainability in the Dedham Vale and Stour Valley area.
One of our first interviews is with mushrrom growers and foragers Mathew and William Rooney.
Firstly it is the ability to recognise what you’re picking... mushrooms come in 4 main categories, edible and non-edible, poisonous and unknown (not yet tested). Once you can recognise the species then you must gain an intimate knowledge of the area you’re picking and understand what climatic conditions will produce fruits... mushrooms come and go in a relatively small time frame so you must learn to be in the right place at the right time...
More information will appear on our Reskilling the Valley google map and eventually in our publication. If you wish to see a demonstration with William and Mathew we will keep you posted here.
