Upcoming
Tea Ceremony for Divinatory Ecologies for More-than-human Time
Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery
May 30th / 12 - 1 pm
Paige Emery will be offering an ecopoetic tea ceremony and guided meditation for listening to plants through the memory of water and moving with Earthly time through the end of a world. Herbal tea will be served and Paige will accompany the ceremony with live music. This piece is both an activation of her installation at LAMAG, and a community offering of ecological connection.
Human Nature with Tierra Sol
Topa Institute, Ojai
June 26-28th
Human NATURE is a gathering for those ready to deepen their relationship with the more-than-human world. At a moment defined by technological obsession and extractive leadership, we’re calling us back to the wisdom that indigenous traditions have always held: that how we relate to the earth determines our future.
Join ecologists, herbalists, artists, and Chumash historians for an immersive retreat in radical reciprocity — with nature, community, and ourselves.
