Workshop - Sliding Scale $35 - $55
Tending Grief & Our Waterways
June 29th, 2025 at 12:00 - 4:00 PM
This is the first of a series of 4 Ecotherapy workshops designed to tend to our four primary emotions: Grief, Anger, Fear, and Joy. Each emotion will be associated with a primary element of nature to work together to support you.
We will work with the element of water and the gift of local Elk Creek here at Full Moon Farm. You may feel grief associated with Hurricane Helene, the loss of loved ones, the injustices of the world, war torn countries, the drastic change of our current federal government, heartbreak, an aging body, illness, etc. You may feel the grief of the Earth, the grief of humanity, maybe a more personal grief, or no grief at all. This workshop is for you no matter where you are on the spectrum of grief. This is an invitation to intentionally tend to any grief that you may or may not be in touch with. This is an opportunity to honor grief, the healing power of water, and tend to our water ways to bring you into greater balance and deepen your relationship with nature and yourself.

Community as Medicine
May 24, 2025 at 5:30 - 8:30 PM
Potluck Dinner will be offered starting at 5:30 PM to share food while we commune to support group processing
We are all living with the significant changes taking place due to the federal government administration. Many of us are anxious about all the ways it will impact us, our communities, and loved ones. Some of us are already directly impacted in ways that lead to lost income, food and shelter insecurity, lack of safety, lack of necessary medical care, etc. Regardless of where you stand in your political beliefs, we are all being and/or going to be impacted by these vast changes.
Full Moon Farm Collective is a hub to foster community care. We invite you to come gather and share your personal stories of how you are being affected. What are your concerns? How can we better show up and care for one another through these times? This will be an opportunity to really listen to people’s different experiences.
This is not an invitation to debate or argue about our differences. This is an opportunity to learn from one another through deep listening. This is an opportunity to share what’s on your heart and mind, and experience solidarity and recognition that you are not alone. What are your fears? What do you need? What do you want to offer? What are your greatest joys that get you through challenging times in the best way possible?
Let’s gather, be together in authentic ways so we can build and strengthen our community. We are not meant to endure these challenges alone. We will gather outside at Full Moon Farm where we can hear the birds sing, the sound of the creek flowing, and the wind in the trees as the beautiful lush green spring is growing rapidly all around us giving us hope and some inner calm and peace amidst these political storms we are enduring.
