Online Queer Gardening Workshop, spring 2026
This two day workshop is based on the succesful Queer Garden Week that Wende facilitated at Terra Rosa in November last year. We will go in detail into queerecology and native wisdom to create a pair of (pink) glasses to look at our more-than-human world. This view on nature and gardens is a much more playful one than ordinary garden and permacultures workshops. The interplay of play, intuition and practical knowledge will help you to garden in your truly unique way, whether it is a garden, a balcony, or your own indoor mini-jungle.

Free Online Intakes Counseling, any time
Counseling is for moments when something in life no longer fits, when familiar ways of being, relating, or deciding start to feel tight, confusing, or exhausting. My counseling work offers a safe and attentive space to slow down, to listen more closely to what is happening within you, and to explore these questions without pressure to fix or resolve them too quickly.
​
When you feel resonance, we can do a one-on-one intake to get to know each other better. This offer is for people that are committed to help themselves with (or without) my help.
Registration by e-mail.
