The final installment in a 5-part workshop series collaboration between MXED GREENS and Foxtrot Farm

In Sensing the Seasons, we'll explore Touch, Taste, Smell, Sight, and Sound one by one where we immerse ourselves in the somatic + sensory experiences of the season. Each class will include learning about medicinal + edible plants, hands-on practice to make medicine/food/art with these plants, and time to connect with the land and each other. These classes are appropriate for those of you who are new to this experiences, and for those of you who have more herbal/plant experience and want to depend these relationships <3

You can attend just one class of the series, or be part of all of them!

 

Workshop #5: Sound - Seeds & Stories

Seeds are prayers, Seeds are memories, seeds are carriers of the stories of what has come before and they are the writers of stories to come. Seed/Story saving is an act of hope; it says we can trust in the next cycle, we believe in our capacity to nourish ourselves. Seed/Story sharing is saying that we can build these things tougher; we are not isolated. I can feed myself and I can feed you to. Seed/Story sharing is saying - I want you to continue to exist and I want you to remember.

As the evening cools, we’ll have a bonfire and drop in with the plants on the farm and celebrate the way they create seeds for next year’s sprouts. You’ll learn about seed saving for various types of plants, and take home some seeds to tuck away for next spring. This will be a tactile experience in the rattle, rhythm, and satisfying feel of seeds. 

We will have some herb-y food and tea to share, and you are welcome to bring something potluck-style, or bring your own foods to cozy up with.
