Reconnect
A Permaculture Retreat in Zanzibar
Jozani forest, Zanzibar
Leave the noise of the city behind and join us in Zanzibar this new year to experience true regeneration through Inaya’s Reconnect permaculture retreat.
On this gem island of the Indian Ocean, at the heart of the ancient Spice Route, bursting with culture and biodiversity, reawaken yourself to your fitra, the true nature of all human beings, that of a caretaker, a steward of the Earth - khalifat al ard.
Inaya Permaculture is organizing its very first permaculture retreat in Zanzibar. We’ve designed this workshop to meet everyone’s needs and help you guide through all the practical steps needed to start your own project.
Aimed at anyone wanting to reconnect with natural ecosystems and incorporate these skills into their own lives, this exceptional seminar will be led by these international specialists in permaculture:
Rhamis Kent, Zaytuna College (US)
Rhamis Kent has been a recognized voice in Permaculture for more than 10 years, having taught numerous courses all over the world while presenting the “Repairing the Earth” serie on IQRA TV and featuring, among others, in the INHABIT movie.
First as a couple and now as a family of 4, Antoine Bernardeau & Kadidia Sanogo have been making their own transition from city dwellers to permaculturists for the past 7 years. Having left their native Paris in 2012 for a 3-year, 5-continents, plane-free farm tour of the world - and backpacking to Hajj in the process - they’re now established in Jordan since 2015, regularly teaching and consulting in both Europe and the Middle East.
