SAVE THE DATE: we invite you to commune with us at one of Eswatini’s most magical Heritage Sites for the inaugural Mother Tongue nature based culinary journey. Together we weave ecological wisdom, culture and taste into an immersive, sensory experience.

Through this series, reimagines wild, indigenous and medicinal foods, honouring ancestral foodways while inspiring a contemporary dialogue about sustainability, wellness, and creativity. Every experience follows the rhythms of nature, shifting with the seasons and landscapes, becoming a living reflection of the time, place, and the natural elements that mould it.

This initial gathering aligns with a culturally significant time in Eswatini’s seasonal cycle, the period when the soil has been awakened by the first rains and the wild erupting flora signals renewal. It is a perfect time to gather with gratitude, reflection, and preparation for abundance in the growing season ahead.

More information coming soon.

We are so excited for our new drying shed. This is phase 2 of our Mongi workshop development plan. Here is where all botanicals wild foraged and harvested from our now (almost) mature permaculture garden (which was phase 1) will be dried and separated for our loose leaf 🍃 teas and tinctures. Look out for phase 3 soon…

“The Forgotten Seed” is a theme that speaks to memory, resistance, and regeneration. It reminds us that traditional seeds are not just about agriculture — they are vessels of ancestral knowledge, land-based spirituality, and cultural identity. Each seed carries stories of survival, ceremony, and innovation.

In curating this theme, we wanted to acknowledge the erasure that has happened through colonial and industrial food systems — and respond by reclaiming Ancestral Intelligence as a living, dynamic presence. This is about remembering who we are, through what and how we eat. It’s about returning dignity to the seeds, the soil, and the stewards who have kept them alive.
