Upcoming Themes

Join us Saturday, April 9th for a celebration of Spring with local expert Tarah Peek.

It’s Spring!  Every Year is a new opportunity to sprout new ideas, creations and plant the seeds of pure potential.  The ways we integrate this time into our lives weaves the entire year together.  Some people think that the beginning of the year is in January.  Mother Nature works differently, with her own rhythms and cycles.  Spring is her beginning.  The time for planting new seeds, tapping into new potentials and possibilities.  For creating a life aligned with your truest values.  Nature. Family. Foraging. Astrology.  Weaving our own creation is what we will be exploring together in this gathering.  As we wander around, explore & forage the beneficial sprouts Nature is offering at this time, we will learn respect and honor for the abundance & nourishment provided. Taking a Peek into the astrology that is flooding the skies,  Then, together we will share a creative activity to weave together our day and set up the season with an artistic creation to be adorned for days to come.  We hope you can come explore, learn, taste and share this special time of year with your families and community
