Join us for an interdisciplinary workshop series designed for those ready to reconnect with land, body, and community as a path to lasting resilience and change. Drawing wisdom from regenerative agriculture, community healing, and ecological justice, each session explores the relationships between soil and soul, individual care and collective power, gardening and organizing.

🌿 Workshop 1: “Soil & Self: What Nourishes Us?”
Date: Saturday, August 23rd Time: 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Begin with the basics: healthy soil and healthy humans are built the same way—diverse, dynamic, and alive. This session introduces regenerative gardening practices while exploring gut health, boundaries, and the importance of nutrient exchange. Includes a compost demo and a guided practice on nourishment mapping for body and life.

Theme: Inner ecology + the microbial revolution

🌻 Workshop 2: “We Are the Weather”
Date: Saturday, August 30th Time: 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
This session explores our personal and collective relationship to climate change—from eco-anxiety to action. Participants will create community “climate care kits” and learn grounding techniques for emotional resilience alongside water-retention strategies for drought-hardy gardens. Personal wellness meets planetary stewardship.
Theme: Climate emotion, grief, and resilience

🌕 Workshop 4: “The Compost of Change”
Date: Saturday, September 13th Time: 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

We examine how breakdown—both in soil and society—can be the catalyst for new life. Explore personal and communal ways to compost fear, failure, and burnout into creative energy. Includes a soil amendment lab and guided reflection ritual on letting go, composting what no longer serves, and tending inner fertility.
Theme: Transformation through decomposition

🌱 Workshop 5: “Tend the Revolution”
Date: Saturday, September 20th Time: 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
How do we stay rooted while rising together? In this final session, we integrate all we've learned into personal action plans and community blueprints. From medicinal gardens to mutual aid networks, we imagine tangible steps toward wellness, justice, and regeneration. Ends with a collaborative planting and a shared meal.
Theme: Long-term resilience + joyful organizing
