Sowing the Seeds: Preparing for an Ethical Ramadan

Rajab is the month to plant the seeds of Ramadan, Shaban we water them and in the month of Ramadan we harvest.

Join us for our sowing seeds series as we honour this tradition of preparing the soil/soul for the blessed month of Ramadan. Each session is in preparation for our ‘Ethical Iftar Challenge’. Where we challenge ourselves to Eat Less Meat, Use less single use plastic and Reduce food waste.

This year Ramadan will be a time to nourish our inner and outer role of stewardship.
