I believe healing starts at a community level

Hello there, Gemma here...

Not long ago I was unable to feed myself. Now, thanks to the knowledge I embody, I am now financially free. I want to teach as many people as possible what I have learnt on this journey to self love and acceptance.

E:Den is a place of abundant natural beauty, where the community will come together, find friendship, connect to the earth and heal with the power of nature.

The modern world can be harsh and unkind at times. According to Mind, mental health problems like anxiety and depression affect one in six of us. We believe that we can help people to feel better by making the most of the green environment.

Our mission is to create a connected, vibrant and low-impact community that works towards a meaningful and enjoyable future and brings about personal, social and environmental change.

The details

Our community space will be open to members of the public to learn about an alternative, gentle way of life.

Practitioners will lead classes on natural building projects, organic, permaculture gardening/farming, cooking, and other daily activities. Experts can educate parents on fear around birth and healthier alternatives for the family. We will also hold retreats, study sessions, music and arts events.

We will provide the tools, training and expertise to help people - to learn, connect and stay motivated to reduce their environmental impact and start living more sustainably.

The Finances

I’m am raising £100,000 to get E:Den expanding to more sites around the country.

Revenue created will also go towards offering free services to those in need.

Why am I doing this?

I’ve spent years looking for alternative answers, moments of peace and a connection with nature. Somewhere I can be quiet and hear my own voice over the chatter of the world.

On my journey, I have been working with farmers, doctors, therapists and so many people in the community to web together practical solutions to our daily stressors. I feel I have a solid plan moving forward and the network to put this project into action.

I hope that you are able to help us to help E:Den expand. Your donation will create a better life for ourselves and for those around us.

The first time I launched this project 2 years ago, I was broke. I had my son taken out of my care because of my beliefs by the family court system. I was deemed unfit for my son. This has not stopped me. E:Den was created by my son, he has taught me how to 'LIVE' again. We as a human race will heal if we listen and learn from our children, instead of coercing them into our programming.

Since then, I have raised the money myself, to make E:Den a reality and I have just put on my first free event.
