At Project M.A.R.S., the food forest is not only a place to grow food.
It is a living classroom, a shared space, and a testing ground for how we might live differently with the land.

The reason we host many different kinds of activities is simple:
real sustainability cannot be learned from one angle, one skill, or one discipline alone.

Food, shelter, clothing, energy, water, community, creativity, and care — these are all part of daily life.
If we only focus on planting trees or growing vegetables, we miss the bigger picture of how humans actually live inside an ecosystem.

Our intention is to create opportunities for people to learn through doing.
Whether it is natural dyeing, seed saving, mud oven building, fermentation, forest walks, or working with insects, each activity is a doorway into understanding how nature works — and how we can work with it instead of against it.

We believe skills matter.
Not abstract knowledge, but practical, hands-on skills that help people feel capable, grounded, and connected.

Learning how to grow food teaches patience.
Learning how to build with earth teaches humility.
Learning how to observe insects teaches respect for small lives.
Learning how to make something with your hands reminds us that we are not just consumers — we are participants.

Many of the skills we explore at Project M.A.R.S. are not “new”.
They are old, slow, and often forgotten.
But in today’s world, they have become new again — because they help us adapt, become resilient, and reduce our dependence on fragile systems.

We wish to see people leave the forest with more than information.
We hope they leave with confidence, curiosity, and a sense of possibility.

Possibility that a different way of living exists.
Possibility that small changes matter.
Possibility that learning does not have to be fast, perfect, or expert-led , it can be shared, imperfect, and human.

Project M.A.R.S. believes that sustainability is not a destination.
It is a practice, shaped by choices we make every day.

That is why the food forest is open to many forms of learning.
Because life itself is diverse, interconnected, and always in motion ~ just like the forest.

Forest Natural Tie-Dye T-Shirt Workshop

At Project M.A.R.S., we practise living with the land through Mitigation, Adaptation, Resilience, and Space — learning how to grow food, care for resources, and shape our daily lives in ways that are gentle, practical, and deeply rooted in nature.
Here, slowing down is not a concept, but a way of life, guided by the rhythm of the forest around us.

In this Forest Natural Tie-Dye T-Shirt Workshop, we invite you to step into the food forest and share a meaningful moment of making with someone close to your heart. This session is designed for two people to experience together — it may be a couple, a parent and child, siblings, or any loved ones who wish to spend unhurried time side by side.

Through hands-on practice, you will discover the colours hidden in plants and learn how nature offers everything we need when we take time to observe, listen, and work with it. Using natural materials collected from the surroundings — including leaves from the forest — participants will experience the basic process of natural dyeing, from preparation to dyeing their T-shirts by hand.

Each piece carries its own unique shade, shaped by nature, time, weather, and care. No two shirts are ever the same — just like every relationship, formed through shared moments, patience, and presence.

This workshop is not about creating perfect patterns. It is about being present together, working with your hands, slowing down, and allowing simple actions — folding, tying, dyeing, waiting — to become a quiet space for connection. In the forest, colours emerge slowly, and so do conversations, laughter, and moments of togetherness.

Programme Highlights
* Learn about Project M.A.R.S. and its vision of Mitigation, Adaptation, Resilience, and Space through real, hands-on practices
* Explore how a food forest works and how plants, people, and daily life are interconnected
* Identify natural dye sources within the forest and understand natural colour tones
* Learn basic tie-dye techniques and how fabric responds to natural dyes
* Practice simple, low-impact natural dyeing methods
* Hand-dye and bring home your own Forest Natural Tie-Dye T-Shirts, created together
* Enjoy a moment of slow living — unhurried time to work with your hands, observe nature, and reconnect with someone you care about
* Enjoy an authentic Forest-to-Table lunch made with seasonal ingredients
* Join a guided Food Forest walk, collect leaves, and experience sustainable living in practice

Woohoo!!! We just completed a very joyful and meaningful session with 40 participants from Aroha Hapori School , teachers, parents, and kids all together

It was so beautiful to see families and educators coming together in the food forest, exploring, learning, and slowly overcoming their fear of the insect world , getting closer to nature, step by step

With Xuxan’s gentle guidance, together with our M.A.R.S. friends and family , Chee Papa, Chee Mama, Alan, Hui Xin & Landon , we managed to catch and observe so many beautiful creatures: butterflies, dragonflies, crickets, and more

What touched us most was seeing the parents having just as much excitement as the kids. Many of them shared that they hadn’t really connected with nature for a long time. Guiding their children while having fun themselves felt like a little pause in life , a moment to relearn how to enjoy the world with a childlike heart

Once again, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Aroha Hapori School for coming all the way from Simpang Ampat and for trusting us to host this session together at Project M.A.R.S.

Welcome to Register your spot now for our next session, which will happen on 25 Jan 2026.

Traditional Mud Oven Making Workshop

Have you ever dreamed of creating a practical, eco-friendly oven using simple, natural materials? At Project M.A.R.S., we invite you to roll up your sleeves and experience the joy of traditional earth construction while exploring sustainable living practices.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn step-by-step how to build a sturdy and durable mud oven using locally sourced, low-impact, and natural materials.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced craftsman, this is an opportunity to discover the satisfaction of making something functional and sustainable with your own hands.

We will share 3–4 different methods and material options for building earth ovens, helping you choose the best approach and avoid unnecessary trial and error. By the end of the workshop, you will have constructed a portable, practical, and simple earth oven that you can use immediately.

The workshop covers the full process, including:

* Material selection and preparation, using earth, clay, sand, and natural fibers

* Mixing and shaping the earth sustainably, minimizing waste

* Oven design and construction techniques

* Building a mobile base for portability

* Oven assembly and practical usage tips

Through this experience, you’ll not only learn the techniques of traditional construction but also understand how sustainable material practices can reduce environmental impact, encourage reuse, and reconnect us with natural resources.

Project M.A.R.S. emphasizes working with what nature provides, creating structures that are durable, low-impact, and in harmony with the environment.

Join us to connect with the earth, explore traditional skills, and embrace a self-sufficient, eco-friendly lifestyle.

The Discovery of Life: Insects, Forest & Humanity

At Project M.A.R.S., we believe in the power of transformation , even an old palm oil plantation can become a thriving food forest. This session invites you to explore the fascinating connections between insects, plants, forests, and humanity, highlighting how biodiversity is the foundation of resilient ecosystems.

In our restored food forest, you will discover a rich variety of insects , from butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies, beetles, grasshoppers, and bugs , each playing a unique role in maintaining forest health. As plant biodiversity increases, so does the diversity of insect life, showing the intricate relationships that sustain our environment.

Participants will learn to identify and differentiate insects, understand their roles in the ecosystem, and develop skills to catch and observe them carefully without causing harm. You will also learn how to create your own identification records, deepening your understanding of forest life and building lasting observation skills.

This session is hands on and immersive, combining curiosity, care, and mindfulness. You will see firsthand how humans are connected to even the smallest forest inhabitants and how restoring a forest from degraded land is both possible and rewarding.

More than just learning facts, this experience is about slow living, awareness, and connection. You will open your senses, witness the hidden rhythms of life, and gain a deeper appreciation for the unseen and extraordinary world that surrounds us.

Join us to explore, observe, and celebrate the delicate balance of life — and reconnect with nature in a meaningful, respectful, and inspiring way.
