Come celebrate the grand opening of the Earthworm Learning Center on the spring equinox, hosted in the freshly renovated pole building, set up to be our central classroom and gathering space.
We will start with icebreaker improv games and a walk around the land.
Then Charles Eisenstein will offer some words.
The evening will include a song circle around the fire, and firing up our wood-heated earthen sauna.
Grand Opening Celebration and FUNraiser this Spring Equinox, on 3/21!, Saturday, from 12:30 – 9:30. Charles Eisenstein will be offering a talk as we circle up around the radiant earthen floor in our freshly renovated barn, we will play games that cultivate and expand our mind’s capacities, Brother Gareth will be offering glorious music by the hearth fire, the wood-fired cob sauna will be lit and full of prayer songs. Jimi and Ember (and Baby Evergreen) will be introducing you to what they have been and will be up to with this beloved land, bringing you in to the shared visioning, seeding and budding afoot...and giving you a sense, an experience, of what is coming through here.
We have limited parking spaces, and there is no price we can put on parking or entry. This will be a very precious, potent, unique, PRICELESS once-in-a-lifetime event and the beginning of a long-term long-view collaborative project. If you are feeling a nudge to be part of this sanctuary co-creation, check out our web-sight and click the “events” tab to Request an Invitation. Now is the time (to come together, gather). All registration requests must be submitted before the end of February. On March 1st, we will send out our invitations.
