Sowing the Seeds of Sustainability with Beejan
Beejan is a unique workshop series by TIEEDI that immerses participants in the philosophy and practices of natural living and permaculture. Rooted in the concept of sustainability, “Beejan” means “seed” in Hindi, symbolizing the planting of knowledge, skills, and habits that grow into a regenerative lifestyle.
This workshop goes beyond traditional learning; it offers a hands-on exploration of how humans can coexist harmoniously with nature. Through activities like bamboo weaving, bio-enzyme creation, natural building, and sustainable cooking, participants not only learn but also experience the transformative power of permaculture in their own lives.
Customizable to suit diverse audiences—from schools and colleges to corporate groups and communities—Beejan fosters collaboration and creativity. It inspires participants to rethink the way they interact with their surroundings, equipping them with practical tools and ecological insights to apply in their personal and professional spaces.
Whether you’re a design student looking to integrate sustainability into your work or an educator aiming to inspire young minds, Beejan offers a roadmap to embrace a regenerative future. With TIEEDI as a guide, participants leave not only with newfound skills but with a sense of purpose to contribute meaningfully to the planet.
