Nurture Your Mind, Empower Your Actions
Whether you're diving into Eco-landscaping or Ecopsychology, or integrating Permaculture or Re-wilding into your daily life, or learning the tools to drive lasting change, this is where passion meets action. Whether you want to consciously design life through the use of Adapt Design tools or wish to be inspired at one of our workshops or presentations, Garden Juju Collective is your sanctuary for Designing, Growing, and Healing.
Led by life-long educators and practitioners Dr Charlie Brennan & Bridget O’Brien, Garden Juju Collective’s range of Learning Opportunities are inspiring, powerful and practical.
Each workshop is designed around a central theme, approach or challenge. We blend practical skills with visionary ideas and innovative practices. Through a mix of hands-on exercises, field trips, and reflective practices, participants engage with the material in an interactive way. Formats range from interactive workshops to lectures and retreats. At the end of each session, participants create personal action plans that empower them to take the next steps toward transforming their dreams and intentions into reality.

Water: The Practical & the Magical
Dive, with us, into exploring the practices, wisdom and magic of water. Water is essential: often taken for granted until it’s not available, not clean, or there’s too much of it, this workshop reflects back on the fact that we, and all life, are nearly all water. How do we design and manage water - collect and store, move water, keep water clean, and give access to water? What are the unique scientific qualities of water? Location: Gateway Farm, Plymouth, MI, USA

Ecopsychology, Place, and Self Workshop
Our sense of place in this world, and our eco-psychological relationships with everything - forests, rivers, gardens, towns, more-than-human beings, even highways – are our most fundamental needs. These deepest relationships are bound with identity, belonging, and purpose in the world. And yet people doubt there’s such a thing as ‘ecopsychology’. Location: Gateway Farm, Plymouth, MI, USA
Read more & registerSecond Annual Ecopsychology Convergence
We’re excited to announce the Second Annual Ecopsychology Convergence at Gateway Farm! Join Dr Charlie Brennan, Bridget O'Brien, collaborators & guest speakers. Our ecopsychological feelings, identities, relationships with forests, rivers, seas, gardens, farms, towns, all beings and even highways – everything – are completely fundamental. And yet, in this human-centered world this is often overlooked or denied, and living systems around us increasingly compromised. Look forward to speakers & panelists, workshops, world cafe style conversations, emergent discussions and tree planting. Ecopsychology is bound with sense of place, place literature, ecology, Indigenous and Cultural studies, from literature and beautiful ideas to how we practically live our everyday lives. Location: Gateway Farm, Plymouth, MI, USA
