Activities

ENGAGEMENT 1 — RECORD, MEMORY & ENTANGLEMENT
You’re invited to a community land gathering rooted in slowness, care, and shared responsibility.
Together, we’ll tend the land through ivy cut-and-roll, blackberry clearing, composting, and observation — guided by attention, not urgency.
These gatherings are a return to land, to care, and to being in right relationship.
This season, we’re planting and preparing a pocket food forest — a space of immersive play, learning, and community care for young people and families.
Alongside the land work, we’re opening an optional book-and-film braid in partnership with The Seattle Public Library Foundation.
