Live Well Tasmania update

We have quite a few events coming up in March and April, see below for details! And see our calendar below for the regular events at our Community Centre (note we are working on the quality of the print!).

Our LWT SAP Team are busy preparing a number of workshops, presentations and useful handouts. They are as follows:

Workshop: Low Impact Cooking: Nourish Your Body, Protect the Planet: with Tanya Kurzbock ~ Local Naturopath with 10+ years experience as a naturopath

website – www.yournaturopath.online

What if the way you cook could improve your gut health, balance your hormones, support weight regulation — and reduce your environmental footprint?

In this empowering workshop, we explore how everyday kitchen choices influence both your internal ecosystem and the world around you.

You’ll learn:

  • How chemical exposure in food impacts gut health and inflammation
  • Why soil health and microbiome health are deeply connected
  • The benefits of eating seasonal and locally sourced produce
  • How nutrient-dense food improves metabolism and reduces cravings
  • Simple strategies to reduce food waste and lower household impact
  • Low impact cooking methods that protect nutrients and reduce energy use

This is not about perfection. It’s about conscious, practical shifts that create powerful ripple effects.

Low Impact Cooking supports:
• Blood sugar stability
• Digestive integrity
• Hormone balance
• Sustainable living
• Community resilience

Every meal becomes a vote — for your health and for the future. Join us and learn how small daily choices can create lasting transformation.

Biochar Workshop with Nick Towle – This will be happening at our Oldina LWT Community Farm in April or May. Keep an eye out for the date and information.

In this hands-on workshop you will learn about the process of making good biochar, as well as the diverse applications and benefits of biochar in building healthy living systems. 

Biochar production begins with turning carbon rich material into charcoal. A range of methods may be used and for this workshop you’ll be guided in using the Live Well Tasmania cone kiln. 

Throughout the workshop we’ll discuss suitable materials for making charcoal and the next steps in processing and applying it within your garden, farm or land restoration project.
