Naturally Smart Mossdale is a local, community-led group for people who want to think clearly about how we live, work, and care for our place.
We will meet to begin with every two weeks in Mossdale Village hall to talk, listen, and learn together.
There is a structured Naturally Smart Programme which has been used all over the world in the past two decades, this can be drawn down to facilitate some sessions but it will not be over used, it has permaculture and biodynamics at its core, and we will use these elements to inform our thinking when we need them.
The focus is simple and practical, based on
• understanding our local environment
• recognising and sharing skills and ideas
• making sense of change (social, environmental, technological)
• supporting one another to live more sustainably and thoughtfully and designing and developing plans to meet our needs in the village.
Sessions are informal and open. Some meetings will involve discussion indoors; others may include short walks, observation of the land, or practical activities. There is no pressure to be an expert — curiosity and respect are what matter.
Naturally Smart Mossdale is about people and place: using common sense, local knowledge, and shared experience to make better decisions for ourselves and our community.
Everyone in the village is welcome to attend, it is free to all members of the village community.
