Friends, we love to travel, bringing our Gift of Seed: hundreds of regionally adapted seeds, gifting them in beautiful, reflective & transformative gatherings…
…and know we’re honored to dream and seed more fruitful futures with you!
Gift culture is rooted in relationships, so we are honored to share one to several days in your community, sparking connection and deepening practice together. These experiences will nourish and connect us for years and generations to come!
Thanks for trusting us with your joy in connection as well as heartbreak for our collapsing world. We trust that together we sow more fruitful futures than anything we could cultivate alone.
Imagine!
We arrive in your community and share:
⭐️ our public Gift of Seed Gathering where we laugh, sing, connect and reflect as we embody and practice gift culture. Expect puppets! And lots of seeds! And to be moved in ways that are (un)expected. This may be connected or separate from:
⭐️ a potluck inviting curious & committed community members who hunger to nourish gift culture! This can be casual as well as more facilitated either as conversation or ritual, as you sense your community craves 💛
And let’s keep imagining…
In addition to our big Gift of Seed gathering, if it would be of service in your community, help us organize a day or two of diverse seed gifting experiences to celebrate interdependence and deepen gift culture together. Here are a few seeds to sow possibility: Here are a few seeds to sow possibility:

⭐️ We loveLOVElove children! Whether in schools, homeschool groups or with teachers, we share 20 to 40 minute hands-on seed gifting experiences with students devoted to wonder, sharing, play, generosity and care for our deliciously interconnected world. We love to share sessions with students as well as teachers and we’re delighted to weave in elements of biology and other themes the classroom may be currently exploring. Expect music, puppets, many packets of seeds going home with each student to gift their family, friends and neighbors, surrounding us all with more fruitful gardens as well as community.
“Kids don’t remember what we teach them, they remember what you are.”
~ Jim Henson
⭐️Though our Gift of Seed experience is designed for adults, we also share a 90-minute Gift of Seed gathering for families. Accessible and engaging for kids of all ages, we’re in our bodies and centering silliness as well as sacredness. Did we mention? There are puppets!
“I think people are really looking for ways we can grow our souls rather than our economy.”
Grace Lee Boggs
⭐️ Bring Fruition to your church, synagogue, sangha and other circles of connection, care and spirit! Raised Unitarian Universalist, Petra thrives in all kinds of communities sharing tailored sermons, seeds and diverse embodied experiences as well as mediations and conversations to explore awareness and inspire action as we cultivate gift culture together. This could be a Sunday morning as well as a weekday evening opportunity to gather and deepen.
“The kind of change we are after is cellular as well as institutional, is personal and intimate, is collective as well as cultural.”
Prentis Hemphill
⭐️ Let’s nourish what is already seeded in your community! Are there individuals and / or organizations that would benefit from shared space and focused attention on gift culture to catalyze connection & action? In little or large ways? Let’s make it happen!
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
~ Margaret Mead
⭐️Sow Seeds & Sing Songs! I love to lead song circles centering seeds, seasons, remembering to breathe as we remember to re-member together, finding the courage to practice harmony and make every ‘mistake’ welcome and beautiful in our hungry, hurting and healing world. These are especially cozy and transformative in homes and paired with potlucks.
“Where words fail, music speaks.”
~ Hans Christian Andersen
Also to say: What does your community need most? How can Fruition support your need? Let’s explore the possibilities together, Friends!
We entrust these shiny, tiny, still-forming seeds unto your fertile imagination with such joy 💛
To share our 2-hour Gift of Seed practice,
We vision a community space:
⭐️ where 50 to 100 people to gather comfortably both as a whole group as well as in smaller groups
⭐️ with tables with chairs for all
⭐️ and accessible bathrooms
⭐️ our gatherings are ~1.5 to 2 hour experiences together, plus an hour for setup and cleanup. Community helping set up and clean up is part of the magic!
⭐️ thanks for helping spread the word, inviting your local and regional community to the event! (Who in your community needs the most and has the least access to seeds? How might we welcome, heal and integrate diverse parts of ourselves and community together?)
⭐️ we’re deeply grateful to partner with spaces and people who feel aligned and are able to gift this space in the spirit of cultivating gift culture
We Sow the Future!
⭐️ Let us know what date(s) would be best for you and your community! We’re traveling across the Northeast mid-January to mid-February as well early to mid April in 2026. Take a peek at our events calendar to get a sense of what dates may be available and where else we’ll be. If you’re within a two hour drive of our farm in Naples, we’d love to come other times and please know: We love to travel, so even if you’re hoping we might travel farther at other times, let’s explore the possibilities, Friend💛
⭐️ What would you love us to know about the needs, goals and dreams of you and your community?
⭐️ We love to slumber party in the homes of the communities we visit, so thanks for helping us find a cozy bed to tuck into, too ~
⭐️ Don’t be shy, send me an email, petra@fruitionseeds.com
If you’d love to say thank you, we love you and know:
~ Take the deepest breath you’ve taken all day and trust that simply reading these words is thank you enough.
~ What are your gifts and who in your community needs them? Sharing your gifts, especially in ways that expand your comfort zone, is a marvelous way to amplify the gifts of us all. The gift returns to us all.
Sustain this work and joy alongside us!
~ In the words of our beloved friend Adam Wilson, we dream of a world than sustains rather than pays us all…
…and in this spirit, we invite you to bring your gifts to Fruition. We share Fruition’s relational, material & financial non-profit needs and we’re so thankful for your vision and generosity nourishing generations to come 💛
Thanks again for seeding the world we dream of in all the ways you do and I look so forward to smiling and sharing seeds with you (all!) for so many seasons to come!
Sow Seeds & Sing Songs,
& the Many Possibilities of Fruition
ps
We’d also love to say: What an experiment! It’s all a practice! And though we may or may not see a specific vision together come to reality in this season, I’m confident we’re sowing seeds that may flourish with time and will yet nourish many generations to come 💛
