“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”
~Robin Wall Kimmerer.

10:00am-11:30am Wheel of the year connection
11:30am-3:00pm Land-tending and meadow regeneration
Come for as long as you wish
We meet 8 times a year around the seasons to celebrate and bring awareness to our inner and the more-than-human world – walking the labyrinth, short meditations, quiet time in nature to deepen connection.
There are opportunities for practical tasks needed to take care of this regenerating land: making space for wildflowers, creating insect friendly habitats, scything, raking, looking after the new trees and the pond, planting trees.
Community days on the land are a great opportunity to:
- Nourish your relationship to the seasons and find your place in the web of life
- Meet the community
- Tend the land, give back to nature
- Tend yourself
Everyone is welcome! If you are not able to help in a practical way, you are welcome to pop by and enjoy being on the meadow, rest and regenerate. You are welcome to join us for lunch or quietly walk the labyrinth.
To join us and for directions please email: ecotherapyeast@gmail.com
We have a WhatsApp group which you are welcome to join for updates about community days and other announcements.
