Skills & songs for fruitful futures

What if gardens grow us more than we grow them? What if seeds save us more than we save them? With reverent curiosity, let's cultivate our seed skills both practical and cultural to nourish both our personal and collective abundance. With gardens, fields and forests as our teachers, let's center the wisdom of seeds, our 400 million year old ancestors and mentors.

Whether you've saved seeds for years or dreamed for years, your questions, curiosity and dreams will be watered by hands-on practice, conversation, creative writing and song. We'll build a foundation of seed saving knowledge, diving deep into practical botany in the gardens as we harvest seeds together and learn to winnow them using simple tools many of us already have at home. We'll cultivate connection with the seeds of our heritage and invite seeds, as portals to possibility, to nourish and grow communities of care around us. With words, songs and silence we'll reflect and make seed mandalas, as well! We know a more fruitful future for all is possible and Friends, we are the seeds, it takes a village and your plate is waiting ~
