SUMMARY:Herbal Compass CSA: Navigating Healing Throughout the Calendar Wheel
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to reconnect\, reawaken\, and realign with your body’s innate wisdom—the deep intelligence that guides healing not only for yourself\, but for the greater collective? \nIn a world shaped by social and political division and rapid technological growth\, our senses are overwhelmed and our hearts and minds strained\, as rates of anxiety\, depression\, and physical dis-ease continue to rise. Disconnection deepens—from ourselves\, from one another\, and from the living web that sustains us. Yet a fundamental truth remains: the Earth’s body and the human body are one and the same. \nWhat if the ancient yet ever-relevant practices of plant medicine and land stewardship could help restore that connection\, support healing\, & cultivate compassion as a form of radical activism? \nStep into the HERBAL SANCTUARY as we navigate toward a deeper connection with the place we call home–the land under our feet & the body we carry. \nJoin artist\, plant medicine educator\, and clinical herbalist Alyssa Dennis for Herbal Compass CSA: Navigating Healing Throughout the Calendar Wheel\, meeting one Saturday per month from March – October. This program invites you to experience the calendar not in a linear fashion\, but as a revolving wheel. Unlike a traditional CSA that provides vegetables\, this program centers on medicinal plants—growing\, harvesting\, identifying\, and transforming them into remedies. You’ll receive hands-on training in botanical therapeutics\, plant ID\, and medicine-making while creating your own preparations to take home. Herbal medicine has always been a collective practice rooted in trust\, transparency\, and sovereignty over our health. You will be immersed in one of the most biodiverse urban environments\, safely tasting\, touching\, and smelling medicinal plants while learning to integrate them into your daily life and expanding your home apothecary. \nThis immersive program fosters a deep awareness of kin-centric relationships that includes discussions about seasonal cycles\, plant allies\, and holistic well-being.\nEach month focuses on one or two plant allies\, their therapeutic benefits\, and seasonal wellness practices aligned with nature’s rhythms. As we walk the calendar wheel together we’ll discuss the study of the Chinese/Celtic Five Elements or Phases (Earth\, Fire\, Water\, Wood\, & Metal)\, to explore how cyclical rhythms shape our internal & external environments which influence health as we embody this knowledge through the act of crafting medicine whether it’s a tinctures\, salves\, oxymels\, vinegars\, and infused oils. Each element moves through alchemical phases that guide both plant medicine and human well-being. \nFor example\, Sept & Oct is a time of discernment and boundary-setting before winter’s inward turn. We ask: What needs to be released\, and what needs to be nourished? Astragalus root supports this process by strengthening boundaries while nourishing and protecting the body. \nAs many herbalists note\, the plant most suited to support your body often grows right outside your door—within your bioregion. Mama Earth is calling you home and she can’t wait for you to join us. \n“We can support the earth by staying solid in our cycles\, as much as we can\, with those of the earth\, moon & sun.” – Judith Berger\, Herbal Ritual \nLocation: at the Eclipta Herbal sanctuary in the Hamilton neighborhood of Baltimore\, MD (address sent after sign up) \n**Space is limited to an intimate 15 spots** Spots fill up quickly. Sign up today! \nSave 10% if you register before Feb 1st with coupon code compass2026 \nSave an extra 10% when you do all 8 sessions! \nFirst session starts March 28th.

SUMMARY:Syntropy / Entropy - A land based inquiry exploring possibilities for making\, creating\, and relating otherwise.
DESCRIPTION:Entropy: The universal tendency of order to decay towards disorder and chaos. Things fall apart. \nSyntropy: The universal tendency of complexity to emerge from disorder and chaos. Things come together. \nThis experimental land-based residency will weave together practices and provocations from\nGesturing Towards Decolonial Futures (GTDF)\, the evolved pedagogy and holding structures of\nBanana Mountain (our democratic unschool)\, and unfolding rhythms of reciprocity with this land; a\nsprawling\, semi-feral farm in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada (Spain) where the Trevélez and Guadalfeo rivers meet on their way from the mountains to the sea. \nThe residency has no fee\, no funding\, no pressure to produce\, and no pre-specified outcomes. It\noffers 4 – 10 participants an invitation into open-ended inquiry\, a space to be with and feel the\nweight of complexity\, complicity\, and collapse\, and to experiment with the tender possibilities of\nrelating\, responding\, and hoping otherwise\, in the company of others\, with no guarantees. \nThis inquiry will be held within a simple container of co-living (shared housing\, shared meals\,\nmutual care\, and consent-based decision-making)\, co-stewarding (15 hours per week of land work)\,\nand co-sensing (a weekly seminar using materials from GTDF). This container intends to offer\nenough structure to hold while leaving plenty of room for personal and collective exploration and\nemergent possibilities. \nThis residency is for folks with a personal or relational practice they would like to explore in\ndialogue with land\, who are drawn to the offerings of GTDF and ready to face complicity and\ncollapse\, who understand land-work as a way of being in relationship rather than a form of\nexchange\, who do not need or expect therapeutic holding or retreat-style comforts\, and who are\nready to participate in the co-creation of a living relational field that everyone involved is\nresponsible to\, and no one is responsible for. \nTo express your interest and/or find out more visit our website\, or email luke@uniondelosrios.org
