For those of you who don't know, SWIHA stands for Southwest Institute of Healing Arts and it is the school I am currently attending. My focus is in Urban Farming and Holistic Nutrition. As part of the course, I had to learn how to put into practice some of the knowledge and techniques I've acquired through the program. It has been fun, challenging at times, and very supportive not only to helping me integrate the material but also helping me build skills for sharing my wealth of knowledge!
Some of the things I learned through the Externship:
How to grow bountiful Organic Raspberries!
How to Build a Compost Bin
Why is Composting Good for Me and The Earth
How to Build a Worm Bin (Vermicompost) and Why I'd want to
Plant Identification including Pacific Native Edibles
Identifying Edible Flowers
How to create a video with pics to share knowledge
How to promote my self and my business
I am very grateful for this experience as it has helped me gain more confidence in sharing what I know. It also has pushed me to organize knowledge in a way that is presentable via online (through videos and blogging). I really enjoyed all of the projects I undertook. I had a challenging time documenting what I was doing due to technical challenges but it all worked out in the end and it made me see how useful current technology is (iphones/internet) for sharing.
I look forward to sharing more information through Youtube and blogging along my journey in Permaculture, Organic Gardening, etc. The more we all know about growing food (and finding it in the woods) the better!
