Are you feeling the spark and need to come together? In a circle. Around fires. On hiking trails. Around a dinner table. Surrounded by blossoming trees. Grounded. Digging deep personally and collectively. Being really honest. Creating. Moving. Hearts open. Diving deeper into the climate care ideas and inspiration that we explore in our monthly book club?
Our book club is gathering Friday evening May 24 - Sunday May 26 at my home in Thornbury, Ontario to do just this.
Giving ourselves the nourishment, grace and space for joy, connection and inspiration in the beautiful Blue Mountains, on the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation.
Our loose itinerary will include:
sharing meals (including a vegetarian potluck on Saturday),
a hike through the trilliums on my fave section of the Bruce Trail,
a stop into local craft Spy cidery surrounded by acres of apple orchards in blossom,
a bonfire, and
a Sunday morning screen printing workshop with the talented Jennifer Wabegijig owner and designer of Thornbury based Wild and Glorious ($75/pp).
If you are interested in joining us, please fill out the info survey below so we can coordinate logistics.

"What we need are systems that light up our better selves, the parts of ourselves that want to look outward at a world in crisis and join the work or repair, systems that make it easier, in ways big and small, for care to win the battle over uncare."
