Fresh Air & Self Care -A place-based retreat at the College Farm-

May 1, 2022

Free Local Foods, Activities and Workshops.

Sessions all day | Come & go as able | Overnight camping option available | Transportation provided to/from campus  

Dickinsonians and members of the community are invited to join in free workshop sessions ranging from creative strategies for staying grounded during stressful times, connecting to place, exploring the ecology of place, using movement, art and food production to connect with others, plus opportunities for guided yoga and meditation. Together, we will work to build inclusive and accessible spaces that connect to caring for ourselves, others and the places we inhabit. Hands-on sessions, time for reflection, and locally sourced meals aim to build community and bring us closer to those around us.
