What to Expect

Those that share their care, protection, and wisdom with the world around them.

Mother Trees (the human kind), can be any gender at all (or none)
and may or may not parent human children. 

❋ Calling all Mother Trees

We’ll weave mycelial connections as we share our stories and needs, and witness others in theirs.

❋ Mutual care

This is a day to rest, connect with yourself, and the bits of nature we invite in.

We will cultivate slow spaciousness throughout the day (capitalist productivity culture can keep its own sad council, outside our space!). 

❋ Slow, community time

Each participant will receive a small, handmade journal.

To join, you are invited to pay what you can, offer a trade, or simply share your presence. More about the Gift Economy here, and here. 

❋ A Gift Economy offering
An trunk is horizontal across the forest. Moss, lichen and fungi cover the trunk. The forest surrounds the trunk.

What to expect:

  • A day of slow spaciousness

  • Guided meditation and movement practices

  • Journaling, nature art, and other creative expression

  • Space to cultivate and nurture mycelial connection with others

  • Calling in, turning toward, and learning from the forest of our lives

Join us Saturday, November 7th from 10am to 3pm at Flanders House in NE Portland

Rest, tend, and be tended

“You are worth the quiet moment. You are worth the deeper breath. You are worth the time it takes to slow down, be still, and rest.”
