Plants provide almost everything we need to maintain our health. In this workshop we will prepare medicinal tinctures and salves form herbs and flowers cultivated or wildcrafted locally—some right from the gardens of LGL! All materials provided.
LGL staff and students have been seeding herbs and medicinals in anticipation of a permaculture bed planting this Spring. Come learn how to plant in keyhole beds and herb spirals—two designs easily transferable to your own home or school garden. All materials provided. Lead: Yveline Wilnau and Angela LeVan (angela.levan@gmail.com)
This summer will see an amazing series of community gatherings in Portland, Oregon, involving tea, food, music, and celebration! Beginning at City Repair’s new headquarters, the site of our original T-Project, the Moonday T-Hows, we will incubate and then launch a new movement for celebration and sustainable culture! This will all lead to the launch of the reincarnated T-Horse project!
Today, we will be discussing Overstory plant relationships both in nature and in intentional situations such as the Food Forest. We will focus today on planting fruit trees and berry bushes to provide snacks for those on site and pedestrians that walk by the property on the way to the park.
Learn how to make a covered free box that can be attached to a telephone pole to create a place, in minutes, to share your things. This is a design-build workshop in which we will create one, or several, free boxes that will we then install in a place where it will be used. I got the idea when I noticed a particular corner that frequently had free stuff offered, and watched how the things got ruined with the rain. That corner sports a telephone pole several feet back from the curb so there is plenty of room for a free box to fit.
In this culture we often ascribe an inability to surmount challenges in our lives to a lack of willpower, or skill, or other such abstract factors, yet often we can find their source in our lack of health and wellness. Mental focus, a positive mental attitude, and a joy in your physical body comes to you as you deeply reflect and act on your own unique nutritional needs, and physical expression. Using such resources as the bio regional martial and movement art SHIFT, you learn from world-class instructors on how to let your primal self out and truly express a wild and hyper competent body awareness. A core focus is practical training for Body Control including muscle attunement, consciously shifting internal temperature and accelerated healing.
