A discussion for parents:
how to cultivate reverence with children around the holidays.

with Kelly Hogan
Saturday Decmeber 8th
2:30 -> 4:00

How do we cultivate spirituality in our holiday traditions?
Now that consumer culture has a firm hold on holiday festivities, we are called to create traditions for ourselves and our children that
reconnect us to the wisdom of the season. Kelly Hogan (Waldorf early childhood teacher and mother of two) will facilitate a conversation on this topic.

There is no fee for this event. Any donations will go directly to benefit TLC Farm.

Needle Felting Workshop with Kelly Hogan
Saturday March 15th -- 1:00 -> 3:00pm

Come and learn to sculpt with wool! This unique craft is simple and satisfying. Needles and wool will be provided and you will leave with a new skill that is perfect for creating homemade holiday gifts.

Kelly Hogan is a resident of the community at TLC Farm, an early childhood Waldorf teacher and mother of two. She was first introduced to needle felting 5 years ago when her son began attending Waldorf school. It is a unique and gratifying art form that can be learned easily, even if you have no prior experience.

Please note: Due to extremely sharp needles, needle felting is not an activity for children. This workshop is intended for those 15 and older.

Sliding scale donation of $10-$20. Supplies will be provided.

Thank You!

:::::Plant Allies and Their Preparations:::
with Bonsai Matt
Saturday January ????
10:00am -> 5:00pm

Join us at the farm for a full day workshop where we will explore the most local and common of herbs and weeds. We will walk around the
wild areas of the farm as well as stroll through the gardens, looking at whats edible, medicinal, or otherwise useful. followed by an intro to making herbal tinctures and other body care goodies

Bonsai Matt is a farm resident and has been making herbal preperations for over 10 years and has had a relationship with plants since before he was born.

First day's topics and activites will include:

deconstrucing the illusions of the corporate world and the 'health care system'
plant id
harvest techniques
harvesting
planting
seed collecting
eating
making wild teas
sitting/meditating with plants
drying and storing
etc

Second day will involve the processing of:
herbs, tea, food tincturing, making medicinal vinegar, salve, oil, hair tea, from start to finish, sampling packaging products to take home

Both days will involve lots of talking, discussion, Q&A, and fun! The
first day will involve lots of walking around outside, in the woods,
in tall grass, maybe in mud. Please dress appropriately
for the weather of the day. This will be rain or shine. Bring a
change of clothing if you need, boots, garden gloves, favorite
slippers for inside, a nice potluck lunch item, any smallish
containers or jars that you can find to put oils, tinctures, dry teas,
etc into. Used tincture bottles are ok if they can be cleaned well!
Used droppers are questionable because the small tube is hard to clean
and the rubber degrades over time. We still use them though. If you
have lots of containers, bring some to share. Baby food jars, small
canning/mason jars, film canisters, used tins from lip salve: be
creative...I will do my best to find some containers to share as well.
Bring your favorite pocket knife if you have one. Dont forget potluck lunch both days.

Trade for this event is sliding scale $40 - $80 per day
(this includes exciting take home products)

Please preregister for the workshop and arrive early so we can start on time.

Please come to both days of the workshop as they will be totally
related and relevant to one another.

Thank You!
