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).

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

"Magical." "Stunning." "Brought everyone in."

These were some of the comments shared after the True Story Theater interactive performance held on Sunday, January 26. Five brave "tellers" shared moving stories of "standing up for others" that were "played back" by the extremely talented troupe to an audience to about 50 people. "You could feel the energy in the room" which lasted beyond the show as audience members mingled and reflected on the experience.

Part 2 of this program is an opportunity for all of us to practice standing up or speaking up for others, in a True Story-led workshop on
