If you're looking for the sweetest community garden in Grand Rapids, look no further. This month we’ll be at Shawmut Hills School Friendship Garden. Please join us and bring your family.
The purpose of these monthly gatherings is to experience a way of acknowledging the Natural World, greeting all living things, and showing gratitude. This practice is encouraged by the Haudenosaunee to be shared widely, as written by John Stokes, that we “share in these words, that our concentrated attention might help us rediscover our balance, respect, and oneness with Nature.”
Monthly meetings are open to everyone of all ages, but they are designed for informal and formal educators to experience the Thanksgiving Address in community so they can reflect and consider how they might use this practice with their students, nature center patrons, etc.
This is an OUTDOOR event. If there happens to be heavy rain, it will be cancelled.
UNIQUE THIS MONTH: We'll meet in the Friendship Garden at the school. Bring a LAWN CHAIR or BLANKET to sit on.
Registration is not necessary for this free event.
