SUMMARY:Walking with Cedar
DESCRIPTION:Plants are conscious\, but the “flavor” of their aliveness and consciousness\, and the manner in which thought is manifested\, differ from our own human ways of being in the world. Plants think in relationship\, their environment becoming an extension and an expression of themselves\, like the way Tim Ingold describes the weave of a basket: “The world of our experience is\, indeed\, continually and endlessly coming into being around us as we weave. If it has a surface\, it is like the surface of the basket: it has no ‘inside’ or ‘outside’. Mind is not above\, nor nature below; rather\, if we ask where mind is\, it is in the weave of the surface itself.” \nWe will explore the way that plants think and how we can tap into their rhizomatic mycelial web of thinking and our own embodied experience as entangled and authentically ecologically human beings through somatic storytelling. Between walking with Cedar\, sensory exploration\, and storytelling\, we will encounter the ecologies that meet us at our edges and weave us together. What does it feel like when we press human and plant thinking against each other? \nJoin Sydney Kale for a somatic story-telling walk through Hickory Knoll which is home to an Eastern Red Cedar glade that we will have the privilege of getting to know deeply. Please bring plenty of water\, lunch\, and your own copy of The Love Language of Plants by Sydney Kale. It is highly recommended to read Kale’s book prior to the event. \nCheck out Syndey Kale’s website to see where you can purchase her book: https://www.sydneykale.com/writing-podcasts-presentations \nThis is a donation-based event with a minimum donation of $5 upon arrival.

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing with Madison Traviss
DESCRIPTION:Join Madison Traviss on the Bartram Trail for an afternoon “bathing in the forest” inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku\, therapeutic relaxation guided by sensory invitations. During this 3-hour experience\, there will be a mix of leisurely strolling\, observation\, and reflection both as a group and individually. Be ready to experience the restorative benefits of our natural world and integrate these tools to practice presence into your daily life. \nMadison Traviss is a ANFT certified forest bathing guide who stewards resilient spaces of curiosity to increase collective confidence\, connection\, and collaboration. \nConsider bringing: water\, snacks\, something to sit on such as a yoga mat or blanket\, light for sunset navigating\, and anything else to make our time outside more comfortable.\nWe will be in the Beechertown area for this round of forest bathing. While you’re in the area\, you can check out the Nantahala Outdoor Center. Surrounding the NOC are small restaurants and general stores. The area is insanely gorgeous amongst the leafless trees. \nThis is a donation-based event with a minimum of $5.
