A HUGE THANK YOU TO REUBEN! 🌱l
The Dunedin Spiritualist Church would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Ruben for joining us last night as our special guest speaker.
Reuben shared an incredibly informative and engaging session exploring the Soil Food Web – taking us right back to the foundations of life beneath our feet and exploring how everything begins from the ground up.
From soil health, nutrients, nitrates and phosphates to the fascinating roles of bacteria, fungi and the intricate ecosystems that support plant growth, Reuben helped us understand just how interconnected everything is. The health of our soil is quite literally the foundation of our food systems, our gardens, our farms and the wider natural world.
It was wonderful to see such an engaged audience, with plenty of questions, curiosity and discussion throughout the session. Reuben's depth of knowledge, passion for the subject and ability to hold the space and share his expertise made for a truly valuable evening.
And the exciting news is that Reuben will be joining us again in 2027 for a series of special guest sessions! 🌿
Each session will build on the last, allowing us to explore these topics in greater depth and develop a greater understanding of the natural systems that sustain us.
We'd love to hear what YOU would like to learn more about! Some ideas might include:
🌱 Soil health, composting and soil regeneration
🌿 Growing vegetables, herbs and fruit
🌾 Sustainable farming and regenerative agriculture
🐝 Biodiversity, pollinators and beneficial insects
🍃 Natural pest and disease management
🌳 Plant nutrition, fertilisers and improving garden productivity
🌍 Chemical-free growing and working in harmony with nature
Whether you're a home gardener, passionate about growing your own food, involved in agriculture or simply curious about how the natural world works, we'd love you to come along.
Have a question or a topic you'd love explored? Send the church a message and we'll pass your suggestions on to Reuben. Your ideas will help shape the upcoming sessions and ensure we're exploring the things that matter to our community.
Keep an eye out, as details of our 2027 guest speaking series will be announced soon!
Thank you again, Reuben. We look forward to welcoming you back and continuing this wonderful journey of learning together.
With gratitude,
Dunedin Spiritualist Church 🙏
