This Summer at Heartroot…

April 7, 2013 by dawnbramadat | Edit

Now that the Equinox and Easter and Pesach are over, we can think about Summer…

There is more and more action at Heartroot – increasing numbers of people are being called to come and share a vision of conscious living with the Earth.

We are excited to announce the start of two new traditions for the warm weather season:

Firstly, a residential apprenticeship program:

Dawn will be at Heartroot from the Summer Solstice through to the Autumn Equinox to teach anyone who wants to learn about walking in balance on the land, oriental medicine,  Medicine Wheel teachings, herbal medicine, conscious birthing, parenting and dying, creating ceremony…etc! People are welcome to come for whatever time period suits them, and to ask whatever questions they have to ask. Donations to the Farm and work trades will be negotiated individually.

Secondly, monthly summer picnics and outdoor concerts:

Each month, we will open a Saturday afternoon for people who want to enjoy a picnic lunch and music in the forests and fields at Heartroot. We will have picnic baskets available (a limited number, so best to reserve!), using organic food from our own gardens as much as possible. The entertainment will vary, and will be announced as soon as we know who’s playing!  Picnics start: 12 noon  Concerts: 1 – 3 pm   $15 entry for each concert (plus one-time $5 membership fee). Children welcome for free. It is possible to pitch a tent on Saturday night and stay over to Sunday as well (donations accepted for this). A limited number of indoor beds are also available for overnights.

We will also have monthly Seva weekends, when people can come to donate time, muscles and know-how toward specific labour-intensive projects. We ask that you bring a bit of food to share in communal meals over the weekend…
