Our Community Knowledge Shares are FREE workshops, on Sundays from 11-2pm in the Locavore Community Garden, Martello Primary, Warren Way, Folkestone CT19 6DT. We invite you to learn alongside Custom Food Lab Director and Diaspora Garden founder Charmaine, who has invited a series of food growing ‘elders’ to share their knowledge on different aspects of growing and working with the land.
WORKSHOP NUMBER 4: WINTER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION
Sunday 18th December 11am – 2pm
We would love to invite you to join in the Winter Solstice – a time to celebrate oneself, each other and the collective. At the Winter solstice we experience the least light of the year yet after that day the light is slowly returning. So we are celebrating the return of light,the return of the Sun – a great time to meet, to reflect and dream together.
On the 18th December, we will gather and create a wonderful natural art object/piece together led by Folkestone-based Shamanic Practitioner Sjoukje Gummels. This ‘despachio’ will be infused with the dreams you have for yourself, the community the collective as a whole and all of life. There will be drumming, snacks and hot drinks around the fire. It truly is a celebration and it will be tons of fun!
The sessions are interactive, so all ages, abilities and levels of knowledge are welcome (including absolute beginners!).
There’s no need to book, just bring yourselves and as always, families are welcomed into the garden 🌱
