The Pod Project is a community project started in a response to a growing need on a personal level to do something to feel empowered rather than hopeless in the face of the climate emergency. The Pod Project’s aim is to is create a community of people who want to act now, share creative solutions, teach each other and live healthier more sustainable lives through the provision of really affordable, practical events, classes and courses.
We are based in Donaghcloney, County Down in a building that used to be part of an old linen factory. Attached to the building is a small garden which we are in the process of developing into a community garden, permaculture teaching space and celebration area.
Thanks to grant providers such as the National Lottery, Live Here Love Here, ABC Council and The Community Foundation we have been able to provide a raft of classes and workshops given by experts in their field.
Current classes & forthcoming events include:
- Sustainability, Self & Soul - Balance and Connection. A seven month programme of classes and practical days to develop the garden and reconnect with each other and nature.
- Yoga Immersion - a nine month programme of wellbeing, mindfulness and yoga
- Practical Volunteer Days
- Celebration Days
