Recreating Eden - 3x07 - A Therapeutic Community- Followmy.tv

For co-founders Jack Hutton and Sister Frieda Raab, Providence Farm was an answer to a growing lack of resources for people with social, physical and mental needs. For the members of Providence Farm, this beautiful 400 acres of land offers much more. Located at the base of Mount Tzouhalem in the Cowichan Valley of Vancouver Island, Providence Farm has healed and changed the lives of many through the power of working and caring for the soil. Offering one of Canada’s few horticultural therapy programmes, the farm operates as a community caring and nurturing the land together, and as a result each individual is in turn healed. It is The Renewal of Life theory at its most obvious – that by caring for the soil, the soil in turn nurtures the people.
