Location: Fruittuin van West, Amsterdam

Discover the power of peat-free growing with RE-PEAT at Reclaim the Seeds Amsterdam! This interactive workshop will introduce the vital role of peatlands, the impact of peat use in horticulture, and practical techniques for growing successfully without peat. With hands-on guidance from experienced growers, we’ll explore sustainable alternatives that support healthy soils and just food systems. Whether you're a gardener, grower, or activist, this session will equip you with the knowledge to transition away from peat.

Join RE-PEAT at 2.Dh5 for an immersive workshop blending activism, ecology, and creativity! Explore the vital role of peatlands and their connections to justice, trade, and regenerative futures. Then, engage in a hands-on linoprinting session, carving drainage patterns and inking them back—symbolizing restoration. Inspired by peatland textures and histories, our collective prints will form a “peat core,” challenging artistic perfectionism and celebrating shared creation. This workshop invites you to deepen your connection to these landscapes and take action for Peatland Justice. No experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to get your hands in the ink!

Sinking into the Dark Earth is an exploration on how we can enter and exist in uncomfortable, maybe fearful places and imagine playful/creative ways of how we can get out again. This workshop is designed to open a space for us to explore some of the lessons that peatlands can teach us about death and loss. There is going to be a guided meditation, some reading and imagination and creative activities.
