We’ll once again be back in the garden where two of our Guest Relations Associates Rakaya and Star will be guiding us in teaching us about seed saving practices and visioning activities in patience and belief when we don’t see the growth.

“What is it that we want to birth into existence- into this world? In this workshop not only will we reflect on our personal and collective intentions, we will also explore the practices of seed saving in real time in the Elsewhere Garden. We will learn about the colonization of our food sources and how with one seed & one intention at a time, we can transform our worlds.”
