Sat May 2 | 2 to 4:30 (come early & stay late!) potluck to follow | Gift of Seed at Media Sanctuary in Troy, NY
Welcome to our immersive Gift of Seed experience, Friends! This is not a drop in, drop out ‘seed swap’ (though you can bring seeds & come & go as you need); think of this as a theater or movie where you’re invited to come early & stay late as we drop into another world together.
All flourishing is mutual, as Robin Wall Kimmerer reminds us, and seeds brilliantly embody this generosity, creativity and care. Together, let’s practice receiving hundreds of varieties of regionally adapted seeds as gifts, cultivating gift culture as well as community. Expect puppets! And lots of seeds! And to come alive as we explore living in ways both old and new. Bring a friend and hunger to sow more fruitful futures for your family, friends, neighbors and strangers as well as all generations yet to come 💛

Sow Seeds & Sing Songs: sowing & singing our collective fruitful futures
If you love gardens and singing as acts of joy as well as resilience, join my beloved Friend Tracey Robertson and I for a playful, thoughtful, and empowering experience for curious growers and singers of all levels of experience to deepen presence and fluency in the language of plants as well as music.
Whether you’ve sung in the garden for years or dream of sparking song (and gardens!) in the future, your curiosity and dreams will be watered by hands-on study and seed saving in the garden alongside vocal games, reflective conversation, creative writing, breath and song.
With seeds and songs as our ancestors and mentors, we’ll explore practices growing our personal as well as collective capacity to find joy and resilience in these times.💛
