🌍 We're officially launching our Conscious Food Systems Leadership Programme (African Cohort), delivered and designed in partnership with Inner Green Deal🌍 This programme aims to help food systems practitioners in Africa enhance their sustainability efforts through #consciousness-based practices. By adopting a #holistic approach, it addresses the #food system #crisis by fostering #innercapacities aligned with the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) Framework's five dimensions: being, thinking, relating, collaborating, and acting. This programme will help participants:  🌱 Develop a more holistic approach to addressing the food system crisis, incorporating the role of inner capacities.   🌱 Develop relevant inner capacities and skills to support the transformation towards regenerative food systems.   🌱 Have the capacity to integrate the inner dimension into their work (into their way of working, team, organisations and projects) with outer challenges (food system change).   🌱 Become familiar with #COFSA key concepts and approaches (inner capacities, consciousness approaches and practices, CoFSA model of transformation, CoFSA areas of intervention, etc.)   🌱 Nurture a sense of belonging and connection to the CoFSA community The programme will start on March 4th and end by May13th, and it is open to 50 participants. 💡 This programme is free to CoFSA Members.

🏔️ Today is International Mountain Day! This #UN-designated day aims to raise awareness about the importance of mountains to life and build alliances for positive change in mountain environments worldwide.

🌱✨ Reflecting on an Inspiring Retreat! ✨🌱 In April 2024, CoFSA gathered 32 amazing individuals from diverse fields at Upper Hamlet, Plum Village. Together, we explored how #mindfulness can transform #agriculture and our food systems, fostering change from the inside out. Throughout the week, we farmed, ate, walked, sat, sang, shared, and danced together, building a beloved #community and deep siblinghood. 🎬 You can watch the retreat video here: https://lnkd.in/etjMQhCh Learn more about our journey:  - Conscious Food Systems Alliance: https://lnkd.in/exWQf6gf  - Plum Village Happy Farm: https://thehappyfarm.org/ A big thank you to everyone who contributed to this project, especially Kay Fricke and Josh Donaldson from Conscious Film Co. 🌍💚 #Sustainability #CoFSA #Regeneration #undp
