Essential Happenings Sunday, March 22nd


Nature’s Sacred Cycles: Co-creation, Com- munity, and Conversations with the Earth. Also 4/5 (for future dates, visit sarahbucknd.com/ natures-sacred-cycles). 10am-4:30pm. $750 for all 10 gatherings. Payment in full is $700 or 2 installments of $350 and $400. All funds will go directly into this Earth restoration project as materials and plants and lovely, organic com- post. We will be working on a typical suburban acre sized parcel of land to reestablish and restore our relationship with Nature as guard- ians rather than gardeners. Over 10 monthly gatherings our intention is to build and heal human-land connections. We will co-create a vibrant and vital healing landscape for all our community members—human, animal, plant and spirit. We will begin with a land greeting and intention setting ceremony. Then we will get our hands dirty assisting Mother Earth with the love and labor required to restore and re- generate the land. Coming together to rest and nourish and restore ourselves for lunch. The rest of the afternoon will be reserved for creative projects, making medicine, ethical plant prac- tices, and deepening our conversations with the spirits of the plants.Yarmouth, Maine (location will be disclosed to registrants). With Sarah Buck, Naturopathic Doctor (sarahbucknd.com/ natures-sacred-cycles), Lisa Estabrook, Soul- flower Plant Spirit Artist and Wayshower, and Mary Wicklund, Permaculturist.
