Building Raised Garden Beds!
Malik Black led us through a workshop to build raised garden beds as we prepare for our second season of growing food at the Good Soil Garden in Durham.
Seasonal Foraging Walk & Meal with Nibezun
Food sovereignty advocate Jazz Thompson-Tintor led us on a walk through the woods where we foraged for nettles, trout lily, fiddleheads, and dandelion, then prepared a meal together of moose meatballs, cream of fiddlehead, a salad with wild edibles, and acorn flour cookies (acorn flour connecting us back to Parable of the Sower).
Intro to Blacksmithing
Under the guidance of Kiran Chapman of Soma Metalwork, we immersed ourselves in the art of blacksmithing as part of our Radical Nourishment series.
Aquatic Harvest
It is a really difficult, grief- and anger-filled time for communities of color in Maine and around the world as we witness and are affected by mass-violence on multiple scales. Given all that, it was an immense gift to spend this weekend fishing, sharing, and dreaming in our Radical Nourishment space.
Good Soil Garden
Good Soil was the first event in Radical Nourishment: Food, Soul & Community for the Future, a series of gatherings designed by and for BIPOC organizers to deepen our connections with each other, our relationship with the land around us, and the power we need to survive and transform the conditions we are rooted in.
