Earth School

Earth School offers adult programming at the intersection of the arts and natural world. We are partnering with local artisans, crafts people and naturalists to facilitate workshops and experiences that bring us closer to the earth and our innate creativity.

We hope you'll join us for one, or many, of our workshops. Earth School will run on Thursday's @ 7pm for 8 weeks this summer starting on July 11. You don't want to miss this lineup!

  • August 15: Eco-therapy & movement

    For thousands of years, cultures across the world have utilized earth-based practices for healing. These rituals have a deep connection with the earth, are guided by powerful forces, and utilize the healing attributes of the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. Through using Eco-Therapy Practices and Movement Practices, create a deeper connection to self and start healing.
