Congregation members are invited to a morning of learning, gardening and labyrinth walking at this beautiful reserve, followed by lunch at Joan Ishibashi’s home nearby in Southall. Joan is a member of the Earth Justice team and has kindly offered to host us for an Ecozoic meal based on the Three Sisters (corn, beans and squash) inspired by the American Southwest.

A Rocha UK, the charity which runs the Eco Church programme, acquired the derelict three-acre Wolf Fields site in Southall, West London. Work to transform this patch of land into a community greenspace started in 2013. The site was cleared of 54 tonnes of rubbish. Wolf Fields now provides access to a safe green space and is a centre of community activities and events.

Our Earth Justice Eco team has arranged a visit to Wolf Fields to hear how A Rocha makes use of this vital space, to do some gardening and use their labyrinth. Afterwards, we will make our way to the nearby home of Joan Ishibashi for a simple American Southwest meal. This will be based on the Three Sisters of corn, beans and squash, which are integral to our Food for the Ecozoic project.
