Community Days at Rootstock
Here on the hill, we know that Teamwork makes the dream work. We also know that humans are complex, language is limiting, and nothing is as easy as we hope it will be. Working, eating and sharing in community is powerful medicine. It’s invigorating, challenging, raw and real. It’s what built the world and what will build the new world. Re-villaging, if even for a few hours, reminds us of how to be together.
Community days are guided by the seasons and elements. The projects vary and no skills or experience is needed to participate. Bringing a willingness to work, a desire to learn, patience with the process and a sense of humor is optimal.
Temple Building, as we call it, involves working with a group of people to help build and tend our beloved gathering space and imagination farm. Projects can range from gardening or moving fire wood to trail building, food preservation, construction and more. If you're curious to know what we'll be working on you're invited to get in touch. How we do what we do - consciously, collaboratively, artfully - is often more important than what we're doing. These workdays are incubators and playgrounds to relearn/unlearn how to work with other humans, how to disagree with grace, how to uplift and really embody what it means when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Moon Circles are monthly gatherings for women that meet on the first Saturday of every month. Free or by donation, these gatherings are powerful medicine and safe, sacred space.
