Dara Casey - 22nd of April 7pm CET
Reimagining Agricultural: a look at regenerative pasts, presents and futures.
Dara has been studying and practicing regenerative agriculture since 2017. These studies have included spending time with indigenous farmers practicing ancestral methods, such as Mayan and Xocimilcan farmers in Mexico, Amazigh farmers in the Oases of Morocco, and the Karen forest people in Northern Thailand, and also modern methodologies, studying at, among other places, a research centre for syntropic agriculture in Brazil.
He will be giving a workshop on regenerative agriculture, in which he explores the question of how we have arrived at our contemporary land management practices, as well as offering the insights into different regenerative practices from around the world.
Cristhian Scorrano - 6th of May 7pm CET
Pronoic Cuisine and Zero Waste Cooking: Food as a Mindful and Community Practice
Cristhian is a cook, facilitator, and sustainability practitioner whose work connects food, ecological awareness, and community life. His approach is rooted in the zero waste philosophy and in what he calls pronoic cuisine: a positive, fluid, and mindful way of relating to ingredients, cooking processes, and shared meals. Pronoia, from the Greek πρόνοια, refers to the idea of providence or forward care, a perspective that shifts attention from control and scarcity toward trust, possibility, and relational awareness. Through practical experiences and educational moments, he promotes a food culture that fosters wellbeing, creativity, and collective responsibility.

She began her journey with it in 2016 and has facilitated the Work That Reconnects since 2019 — guiding people back into relationship with the living Earth through embodied practice, reflection, and collective care. Driven by the belief that love for life grows through experience, she co-founded Project AWE — an eco-community in northern Vietnam — with a circle of kindred spirits. Today, she also serves as Coordinator for the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) – Oceania & Asia, helping weave regional networks of regenerative living.
