Native Harvest Gathering
Red Earth Descendants invites you to our annual Native Harvest Gathering, taking place on October 23. Anyone who would like to step up and help in some way is WELCOMED to do so! We always need more steppin' up! We're designing the Harvest Gathering around the creation of a Harvest Feast to take place on that day, October 23, at 4 p.m.. The Gathering will be hands-on workshop projects to create the meal we'll be serving for the Feast. We're encouraging people to bring things from their own gardens or other community gardens to prepare, cook and serve for the Feast.
R.E.D. Meeting
Greetings RED Community,
Our last few crafting meetings have been GREAT, and we will continue crafting circles throughout the year, but THIS next meeting will take place at our Community Garden! We'd like to invite people who haven't seen the garden to have the opportunity to do so, and it's a BEAUTIFUL place to hold a meeting. It's the last meeting before the Native Harvest Gathering, so hosting the meeting at the garden will help us prepare for the Gathering.
Crafting Meeting
Greetings RED Community,
As many of you have noticed, we've taken the majority of the summer "off" from RED biz meetings, focusing more on the garden, traveling and Ceremony. We've also pushed the Native Harvest Gathering up into October in order to coincide with garden harvest time. Now that the season is coming to a close, we've got some Crafting Meetings set to organize and prepare for our next few events/projects:
September 15
September 29
October 13
All at SOU Student Family Housing Community Room
1361 Quincy Street, Ashland
All at 6:30 p.m.
