A hearty vegan lunch will be provided at the end of the workshop. Staying for lunch is not required. If you have any dietary concerns or allergies, we kindly ask you to bring your own meal.
Bring Your Own Bucket
Attendees will have the opportunity to take home a 5 gallon bucket of biochar and compost. Please bring your own bucket. We will have 5 gallon available for purchase for $7.
Payment
It is part of our mission to actively dismantle the social and ecological imbalances forced upon communities of color and people with lesser means. Therefore we offer a sliding-scale pricing model to increase accessibility to those who need it, as well as providing the opportunity to ‘pay it forward’ to those who can afford to sponsor others in need. These pricing tiers were thoughtfully calculated to reflect the costs of our farm operations, food provided, and educator's time.
We offer three tiers of payment for the entire weekend:
The pay-it-forward tier allows us to continue offering scholarships to folks in need.
Scholarships
Financial assistance is available for folks in need of financial support to participate in this workshop. Please contact us directly if you are needing support at mamatreeojai@gmail.com
Refund Policy
A 90% refund will be provided upon cancellation if we are notified 1 week in advance (10/5/24). The 10% not returned accounts for the GoDaddy processing fee as well as our registration fees. We can provide a refund of 50% up until two days before the workshop begins (10/10/24). However, due to preparation expenses, we are unable to provide a refund if a cancellation occurs within two days before the workshop begins.

While earning his Bachelors in Cultural Anthropology with emphases on Biocultural Diversity and Ethnoecology, Jeffrey became interested in learning deeper, more integrative ways of understanding and interacting with the world in an ethical and ecologically sound way. After working at some farms and completing his PDC, he later continued his training and education at the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia.
Jeffrey deepened his understanding of Ethnoecology with a Masters in Global Sustainability, where he researched how trees and forests impact public health and address environmental justice, while mitigating climate change and providing vital environmental benefits and services.
He has taught, consulted, and worked with small-holder farmers, NGOs, policy makers, and community-based organizations around the world, mainly in East-Africa, to create resilient communities and foster healthy and functioning agro-ecosystems.
Abudu is an Earth tender, forest gardener, natural builder & artist who seeks collective health & liberation through conscious practice, education, & relationship. He is also the Seed sower of Akwaaba Urban Food Forest Garden. He spends most of his days working in community at ‘Mama Tree Orchard’ and tending to the cycles of life on Chumash lands in the Ojai Valley.
