My Secret Garden Workshop: Eat, Plant, Learn Sustainable Spring Home Gardening
Details
Let's EAT and taste a vegan menu from an organic garden harvest. This fun afternoon includes learning to plant and tend a home garden and preparation of fresh garden fruit, greens, and culinary shrooms for a delicious communal meal of:
- tacos, desserts, chocolate truffles, gluten-free pasta, baby green salad, spicy salsa, fresh pesto, herbal teas...
Harriet Shaham (master gardener at Harri's Harvest on facebook.com/growinfood) leads us through her home garden in Mar Vista (next to Santa Monica).
Stephanie Hemingway, local native plant specialist and landscape designer, demonstrates regenerative gardening practices.
Seven turns our attention to our spiritual relationship with this part of the Earth (called Tovaangar before it was christened Los Angeles) from a local Native American (Tongva/Kizh/Gabrielino) shamanic perspective and the Buddhist and yogic view of plants, trees, and healing energies.
Annie Vitality (Fruitluck), a holistic health coach and plant-based raw chef, presents a FOOD DEMO on urban harvesting and talks about making the most of our backyard abundance.
Wolf (@outlaw__wolf), a UC-verified California Naturalist and LAMS ([LAmushrooms.org](https://www.lamushrooms.org)) member, brings their expertise to show how mushrooms enrich the soil and create the green world we experience above ground.
The day includes a communal circle of wisdom sharing, ecstatic breathwork, mindfulness and meditation in nature, herbal healing tea, and delicious eating!
Science finally has evidence for what shamans have always known: plants are conscious and, like the mycelium/mushroom supporters in the soil below, are capable of raising our consciousness and healing us.
The SECRET to spiritual growth is revealed by how flowers, healing herbs, and fruit trees thrive through sustainable, all-natural methods. By getting ourselves grounded, we plant the foundation to reach new highs.
This event includes:
- Hands-on, how-to garden demonstrations
- Native plant and healing herb wisdom, plus discussions of magical medicinal and edible healing mushrooms
- Learn to tread extra gently on Gaia/Tierra/Bhumi (Mother Earth) to experience gardening from an expanded spiritual perspective
