Seeding Freedom Storytime Circles
Join us for a special storytime series where we’ll reconnect with nature and reimagine new worlds with abundant possibilities.
Attendees will enjoy engaging, interactive storytelling experiences that incorporate music, movement, and learning through play, inspiring a time of exploration and discovery in our healing garden, while witnessing springtime bloom into summer. Every session includes sensory garden tours, simple nature-themed mindfulness practices, quiet time with family, and child-friendly tastings featuring fresh and local foods from our garden.
Seeding Freedom Storytime Circles series will conclude with a very special storytelling and interactive drumming circle, taking place during our Juneteenth celebration, which is also our 5 year anniversary!
