‘The Walnut Project’
If we are to regenerate the land and oceans, then we need to collaborate with nature and give her a helping hand. It is this partnering with and learning from nature that will allow us to speed up the process of healing the Earth.
In every town, village, city and country environment there are people who want to look after land and there is land that needs to be regenerated.
Here at ‘The Walnut Project’ we are doing just that.
‘The Walnut Project’ is a collaboration of
Sow & Grow Regenerative and
Ordanics (Danny Williams) along with two other team members George and Giuliano.
The Walnut Project is not just a place, it is an imagining, a vision and model for a way of life.
We have started to regenerate the land, already hosted two work parties, taught community members to sow seeds and planted out vegetables, fruit bushes and trees, as well as building a kitchen area and compost toilet.
We have a big vision for the future with some of our goals being
- Regenerating the land so it become self-regulating and over the years we reduce all our inputs.
- Planting the Forest Garden, which will be our long term investment
- Creating a Market Garden to eventually sell produce to local residents
- Create a Permaculture Garden which illustrates its framework, ethics and principles
- Create our own compost and naturally made amendments to use on site
- Have a greenhouse area for a nursery, to supply the walnut and local residents gardens.
- Create and care for a wild area, which will give sanctuary to local wildlife.
- Host workshops and celebrations for the community to teach the community to connect with the land, learn valuable skills and find and contribute their passions.
We will be opening our land to community members in the coming months, where will host more work parties for people to experience the land and to begin hosting workshops. The workshops will be reasonably priced, including lunch and we will be teaching valuable skills for those that want to learn more about growing food, foraging and making natural garden amendments.

‘Creative Mindset’
Coaching
What is the ‘Creative Mindset’?
The ‘Creative Mindset’ is focused, imaginative, diverse, flowing, grounded, solutions orientated, grateful, faithful and enables anyone to find and develop solutions to the problems, obstacles and barriers that prevent us from having the life we want.
Nurturing the ‘Creative Mindset’ is probably one the most important endeavours we can undertake. Children by their very nature are creators. Their imagination is their best tool, can take them to faraway lands with magic, twists and turns and anything can be created. By using this principle and applying focus and discipline along with repetition we can start creating anything we desire.
When we become creative, there is no problem that cannot be solved. Quite often the problem is there because of how we see it. When we change perspective, new solutions come into view.
The ‘Creative Mindset’ relates to ‘self care’ it allow us to find that connection within ourselves. Observing our own behaviour and understanding which ways of thinking, feeling and acting are beneficial to us and which are not, enables us to disassociate our essential selves from the conditioned self. Nothing in nature is linear, everything is cyclical. From the seasons to habitual cycles. If we view life through these cycles, it means that we can create new ones.
What kind of life do you really desire? Are you living that life now?
To create the life you truly desire may mean a drastic transformation- moving home, changing career or finding a new community. It may mean giving up something you think makes you feel safe in exchange for what makes you feel free. You can start creating your vision right where you are now.
Through this inner transformation, you can find our purpose-this can become your contribution to our community.
The health and happiness of human beings is in direct relation to the environment that we live in. When we have beautiful natural surroundings we instantly feel better, our life force is supported by this relationship to nature. When we are in artificial surroundings our emotional, mental and physical state are effected quite dramatically. This is supported by the fact that mental health issues are higher when people are not connected to and surrounded by natural settings.
In order to benefit from and contribute to nature we need to give ourselves the space, time and energy to connect with our inner nature. We can do this in many ways to gradually take us step by step towards a healthier, happier and more abundant life.
The first step is to seek within what we seek without and transform our vision into reality.
Many of the obstacles and barriers we experience as adults are a result of us being out of natural balance. Our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health, as well as our social interactions are interconnected. Ultimately all of these obstacles we experience are rooted within the connection to ourselves, others and to natural cycles of life.
All of the obstacles that prevent us from achieving our life goals are actually rooted within our mindset, or (the lens in which we view our life).
How can I help?
I provide a ‘Regenerative Coaching’ service which is grounded in an holistic approach to finding the solutions within yourself.
In society we have been taught that we need to do more, achieve more, know more and follow the crowd.
But what actually makes us happy is being creators, imagining the life we want, the life we always dreamed of. To create that life, we need to create the space and invest the time to start building the foundations for it.
How do we recharge our lives with this playful, curious nature and also have a sense of purpose? This is where reconnecting and discovering your connection to the natural world comes into play. When we go back to our root and be in the heart, we can create an amazing world. The more in rhythm we are with our true self to more aligned we become with our purpose, the more content we feel, the more empowered we become and as we dance along our journey, we will meet exactly who we need to and transform, let go and regenerate our lives to a new level.
If you want to live a regenerative life, that is balanced, holistic and aligned with your own vision and values then you can take the first step and start creating abundance, health and value in your life and beyond.
