EARTH ART ACTION 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM

Body- and earth-centered art practices bring us into community with one another, and the circle of other living things. Working within the sacred container of the natural world, we allow ourselves to be inspired by the elements that surround us: earth, air, water and fire. Bringing our attention and intention to the elements informs the art of living and helps us create vivid installations, performances and creative expressions. This workshop is a great way to create living rituals with groups of people and to deepen our connection with the natural world.

URBAN HOMESTEADING DESIGN LAB 1:30 – 4:00 PM

Eager to start homesteading in your urban or suburban lot? Wondering how to fit anything into the small space you have? How to begin? This workshop is an opportunity to learn about the different elements that make up an urban homestead and how to put them together in whatever space you have. Ask questions about the limitations and opportunities of both your land and your lifestyle, and start putting …the design elements together. This workshop will offer some basics in permaculture design, as well as some common sense how-to projects for the urban homestead. This workshop is experiential –come with your questions and ideas and expect to experiment with a variety of homesteading options.
