### 🌼 About the Event

As summer draws to a close and the gardens bloom, we invite you to walk with us through a corridor of abundance. This evening gathering blends calm reflection, neighborhood visioning, and gentle acts of kindness.
We’ll begin at The Commons and walk the evolving alleyway path toward Seyburn Park—picking flowers, herbs, and vegetables along the way. These are the gifts of our neighborhood, planted with love and shared in peace.
Together, we will pause for two meditations, enjoy a light snack, and then deliver small bundles of nature’s beauty to our neighborhood elders as tokens of respect and connection.
This practice of peace and offering is rooted in Detroit’s east side—but it’s meant to bloom wherever you are. Walk your own path. Gather your own harvest. Share what you can.
