Sow & Grow Regenerative

Welcome Fellow Regenerative Practitioners,

What kind of world do you want to create?

This is a question that is probably the most important question we can all ask ourselves right now.

Do you want to create a world that is healthy, abundant, equal, empowering where we can all express ourselves freely?

Then you are in the right place.

John Metcalf, is a Permaculture Designer, Regenerative Soil Consultant, Land Steward, Climate Observer, Teacher & Student of Nature.

Studying to deepen his knowledge of life from the microcosm to the macrocosm, for the past 14 years has been researching a broad spectrum of disciplines to understand the patterns and cycles within the natural world; including ancient civilizations, astrology, electric universe theory, geology, natural climate variability, soil biology, philosophy and psychology.

Gaining his ‘Advanced Permaculture Design Certificate’ (APDC) with Matt Powers, who is one the leading permaculture and regenerative soil teachers in the world. Having just completed the course ‘Regenerative Soil’, to deepen his understanding of microcosmic world of microbes and the fundamental role they have in the soil and our bodies. This has given him the experience of diving deep into the biological, chemical, electrical and physical aspects of the soil and how they form a cohesive relationship.

He also has many years experience in writing and delivering workshops, public speaking and mentoring people to create a regenerative and holistic lifestyle.

His mission is to empower individuals and groups to create their own path of self-resilience, food sovereignty & freedom and community cohesion through the understanding of how we shift our perspective from linear thinking the cyclical thinking or creating a Regenerative Mindset. From Scarcity to Abundance.

Regenerative and Permaculture principles lay out very clearly how the holistic ecosystem over time is climatically resilient, economically profitable and promotes health and abundance for all living individual and collective organisms.

I have recently re-designing my allotment plot as a permaculture paradise, which includes a food forest, perennial plants, medicinal herbs, ancient grains, kitchen garden, wildlife area, ponds and compost heaps. It will showcase the regenerative benefits of permaculture on a small site. It only measures 154m2.

I have incorporating knowledge of many regenerative aspects of design including companion planting, water capture and distribution (slow, spread and soak) soil remediation, earthworks, vermicomposting, and natural farming amendment techniques.

I’ve felt for a long time that life as we live it currently, is unhealthy, unnatural and out of harmony with the vibration of our Earth. Sow & Grow is the vision created as a response to my many years of research into the environmental and societal problems in the world.

Learning about the inter-connected nature of our beautiful planet; the search for my place in it all, and my ongoing observation of the human mind, I have been able to gain an insight into the many ways in which we have been disconnected from our relationship with food, community and the natural world.

Gaining a fresh curiosity and an overwhelming desire to know the truth about life, or ‘the nature of things’- I have found my purpose in life.

At no other time since the beginning of the industrial revolution have awareness and adaptation been so important to the health and happiness of humanity. To learn how natural cycles work is probably the most valuable gift you can give to yourself. Once we connect ourselves to nature again we can live a truly abundant life which is full of opportunity and adventure.

I have helped connect many people to the natural laws of permaculture and regenerative thinking, helping them to see the broader perspective on how we can create a more resilient life of abundance and health.

I have experience facilitating workshops in leadership, campaigning and mentoring individuals in creating positive mindsets become more adaptable to changing circumstances. Change is the only constant and resistance to change is the cause of suffering. By observing nature we can learn how to adapt and grow from hardship. The stronger the breeze, the thicker the trees.

The ‘regenerative mindset model’ (as I call it) is about gaining empowerment through self-resilience, freedom through conscious creation; and clarity of your future by using the permaculture lens to find your rhythm with the patterns and cycles of life.

As well as practising and teaching permaculture-My areas of focus include; astronomy, astrology, electric universe, ancient civilization research, psychology, as well as forest bathing, grounding, meditation and chanting. These form my holistic approach towards creating syntropy with nature.

Learn from the Past, Create for the Future, Live for the Now
