Grow Your Own Nutrition Workshop - Part 1
We are excited to offer our second annual Grow Your Own Nutrition Workshop Series to provide you with the key practices and mindset to garden responsibly and regeneratively with nature.
This workshop is Part 1 of the Grow Your Own Nutrition Series.
Workshop Overview:
1. Permaculture Principles: Discover the guiding principles for working with nature and the way you see your garden.
2. Soil Health: Take a deep dive into the world of soil to grasp just how important building healthy living soil is for growing nutrient-rich plants and for the earth. Learn how a plant eats, so you can feed your soil, support beneficial living organisms and improve soil structure and fertility. Plus learn the art of soil blocking!
3. Regenerative Practices: Learn how to mimic mother earth’s natural processes, grow in a way that supports that ecosystem rather than trying to control it, turn waste into food, and create a no-till permanent bed that improves the health of you and your family along with the health of the environment.
4. Design Your Kitchen Garden: Learn the factors that will support you in creating a solid design. Get clear on your vision, goals and succession planning.
Join us in growing in harmony with nature as you grow your garden and the food that nourishes you from your backyard. Sow the seeds for a regenerative future for generations to come.

The Strings of the Violin
🎻 The Strings of the Violin
An original play by award-winning Canadian author and playwright Alisse Lee Goldenberg, The Strings of the Violin tells the story of Jewish children during WWII who, amidst fear and uncertainty, turn to imagination and folklore to find hope. By creating and enacting a play of their own, they transform fear into courage and despair into resilience. Blending history, Jewish folklore, and the healing power of theatre, this piece is both moving and inspiring. Education packages and special group rates available!

New Year’s Read It Yourself Tarot Workshop
New Year’s Read it Yourself Tarot Workshop
Start 2026 with new skills for the year ahead and a pause for self-reflection at the turn of the year.
This experiential workshop will be motivated by curiosity, not mastery, as we shift our attention from content to process. We will explore the 78-card tarot deck starting with the Fool’s journey and ending with the court cards of the four suits.
We will begin the day reading single cards from multiple perspectives and build to two, three, and multiple card spreads. After sunset, the day will close with a 13 card reading for the year to come.
