LEARN THE ART
OF AGRICULTURAL
FENCE CONSTRUCTION
(Don't) Fence Me In
We are inviting you to join us for a deeply regenerative and practical immersion in agricultural practice and living in Syntropy, through the modality of FENCE construction.
The art of fencing is a metaphor for life – and gives us the chance to explore ourselves, our relationship with the environment in an agricultural context, the colonisers impulse, the satisfying requirement of completion, creating boundaries, separation and the opportunities fence lines provide for growth.
If you are young (or young at heart) and find yourself wondering how to play your part in humans reconnecting to land and doing something practical working towards planetary wellbeing, then we can help!
(Don’t) Fence Me In is a 5 day immersion on an extraordinary 7800 HA property in western QLD (85km north east of Roma). You will be supported to practically learn the art of agricultural fencing in a small group mentored by skilled stewards, leaving a supportive legacy that will last for generations.
Along with gaining skills in the practicalities of fence construction, you will be invited to consider the metaphorical and syntropic principles underlying the deeper vision and purpose that underpins Soil2Soul.

- Are fit, curious and adventurous;
