Fall Flora Walk

A Fall Plant ID Nature walk at the farm and on Whipple Hill. We’ll focus on basic identification characteristics primarily looking at native species, including a plant Native Americans used to supposedly cure “craziness” as well as one they used to wash their hands, a few best identified using our noses, several that are edible and medicinal along with a few non-natives. And we’ll discuss specifics on native vs. non-native. Cost: $25/$20/$15 (tiered).

SoulCollage® Workshop and Labyrinth Walk

Walk. Dream. Imagine. Create.
Saturday, May 11, 2024, 9:00 AM – Noon
Jane Ring Frank, certified SoulCollage® facilitator, will offer a workshop in the stunning Ripley Chapel that incorporates the church’s beautiful Reno Garden labyrinth with a deep spiritual SoulCollage® practice.
SoulCollage® is a collage process for accessing your intuitive wisdom. Even though this is an “art project,” it is accessible, and anyone can do it. You don’t need to be an artist to create beautiful SoulCollage® cards with rich meaning and messages for your life. We will couple our “soul” work with a labyrinth walk
