Most humans do! Link to BBC article that talks about where this smell comes from, and why spring rain gets us taking big sniffs and saying, ‘Awwww - I love that smell!’”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events &amp; Offerings - Rise Up Rooted - We Yearn for What Feeds Us</image:title>
      <image:caption>What we yearn toward can be a guidepost to a deeper and more aligned way to live. Our yearnings (unlike the transitory desires capitalist culture sells us) can awaken us to our own lives, and to the world around us.  So often, we are taught to ignore and stifle those yearnings. What might happen if you follow what you yearn for? In the ripening Summer, we will join together to honor and invite in our own and others’ yearnings. We will create time and space to pay special attention to what calls to and enlivens our spirit. In this coming-together, we set our intentions on another kind of adulthood, one that deeply nourishes our own bodies, minds, and spirits. In turn, from this fully nourished and rooted place, we can share our unique and indispensable gifts with communities and kin.</image:caption>
