Earth Dying - Workshop with Silky

In collaboration with Silky (they/them), this gathering will guide participants through the process of creating altar cloths. 

Through the art of earth dying, you'll learn traditional techniques that honor the land while connecting with the elements and ancestors. All materials provided, and no previous experience necessary. Come with an open heart and leave with a piece to enhance your practice. 

This workshop is open to all levels, and space is limited, so be sure to secure your spot early!
