Tending Ecologies: Nourishment ~ Composting and Soil Health

Ecological artist Paige Emery will guide participants through an exploration of nourishment practices for the body and the land. Composting will be its focus, and topics to be covered include compost production, maintenance, and use. Participants will also create compost together while learning about its beneficial properties, such as its ability to add nutrients to depleted soil.

Additionally, Paige will lead a thematically-linked tea ceremony, during which she will speak about herbs that can support remineralization and strengthen respiratory and immune systems.

This hands-on event will take place entirely outdoors. We ask participants to please bring water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. Gardening clothes are also recommended. If you wish to take notes, consider bringing a notebook and pen.

Tending Ecologies is a workshop program about caring for the land around us and the landscape of our bodies. Each session engages with ideas of release, nourishment, attention, and renewal in resonance with Earthly cycles and practices of bioremediation, bioregional herbalism, ethnobotany, ecological art and sound, and healing arts.

Attendance at past workshops is not a requirement for joining.

Fulcrum Arts thanks the Arlington Garden in Pasadena for co-hosting this event.
