Seeding Self Renewal

The destiny of Earthseed is to take root among the stars.“

— Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

All beginnings have seeds — the starting point for new growth and new branches of our lives, the sources for new chapters. This is what annual cycles and seasons promise: As our intentions and ambitions sharpen, we get to discern what parts of our lives we will continue, what we will leave behind, and what we will start. Whether we are feeling stuck at a crossroads in life or at work, transitioning through relationships, or starting a new project, now is the time to seed self-renewal. 

In this week-long workshop, we will turn to the teachings of nature for guidance and inspiration, attending to five key resources for regenerative growth: 

• Seasons, the distinct stages of renewal
• Seeds, key possibilities for growth
• Soil, nurturing people and places around us
• Starlight, spirited visions that guide us 
• Sprouts, our shared gifts for the world 

Through highly interactive journaling prompts, paired and small group discussions, guided movement meditations, and other practices for renewal, participants will discover tools to clarify hopes and dreams, release old beliefs and behaviors, and chart new strategies for curating the future. Join us as we internalize a powerful framework from nature to refresh our worlds and seed possibilities for life to come.
