Spora is a collective for all generations situated in the sacred Bruce Peninsula
—where food, nature, and community weave into a living rhythm of nourishment. From children’s programs to intergenerational gatherings, we plant seeds of connection that grow into lasting wholeness.
About
Spora comes from the word seed—to sow, to carry life forward. It carries the strength of laying a healthy foundation and the reminder of diaspora: that we are seeds scattered across places, each carrying unique cultures, rhythms, and stories.
Spora is a living, breathing collective rooted in the belief that nourishment is more than food. It is how we live, learn and relate. We hold space for all generations to reconnect to the rhythms of nature, to each other and to themselves.
Our Offerings
Events & Workshops for parents, educators and caregivers seeking deeper ways of learning. Step inside a community where nature invites you to connect, reflect and imagine what whole-being nourishment looks like when rooted in relationship.
Children’s Program, a journey through earth’s seasons—exploring, cooking, creating and celebrating together. Each block weaves a theme that awakens curiosity and belonging, showing young learners that knowledge is lived, shared and carried in rhythm with the land and community.
Why Now
We live in a time of disconnection—
from food, from rhythm, from each other.
But a new culture of care is possible.
Spora is where it begins:
With children, who remind us of innate intelligence.
With caregivers, who hold the daily roots of life.
With communities, who gather to remember we belong to one another.
We are a collective for living the art of life—through food, rhythm, and community.
This is an invitation for children, nurturers, educators & parents to return to the table together.
What makes us unique
Food as foundation: meals, rituals, and kitchens become classrooms of care.
Embodied learning: children learn through senses, rhythms, and nature—not abstraction.
Collective culture: a living network of guides, educators, and healers offering diverse wisdom under one ethos.
Diaspora & belonging: celebrating diversity as fertile ground for growth, while returning to the cycles that connect us all.
Our Approach
At Spora, we root our work in practices that restore balance and belonging:
Ancient Wisdom — teachings of Ayurveda, Montessori philosophy, and earth-based traditions.
Embodied Learning — we teach through experience, not just information.
Seasonal & Daily Rhythm — syncing with nature’s cycles to support emotional, physical, and spiritual balance.
Whole-Being Nourishment — feeding body, mind, heart, and spirit in every interaction.
What we do
Children’s Programs — nature-rooted, food-centered education that cultivates self-trust, sensory intelligence, and emotional regulation.
Community Gatherings & Adult Learning — circles, meals, and seasonal rituals that weave connection across generations.
Professional Training — workshops for educators, caregivers, parents, and organizations to bring whole-being nourishment into their own environments.
Practitioner Exchange — a space for healers, educators, and makers to share knowledge, co-create, and root their work in community.
