Springboard for the Arts Calendar of Events

Connect to your highest self, your intuition, and your relationship with food and the soil in this interactive workshop with Emily Reno, founder of Mezclada, whose mission is to inspire and empower the next generation of land stewards through personal growth education, research, and storytelling. You’ll have the opportunity to create a planting plan for your garden or farm that aligns with your human design, your values, and your production goals. We’ll walk through some journal prompts, engage in some breathwork, and identify ways to bring a deeper sense of intention to your well-being and the natural spaces that you inhabit.

The free Art-Train Individual Artist Training is for artists who are interested in building on their existing skills to collaborate in and with their communities through their local agencies, non-profits, and arts councils. Artists will deepen practices around creative problem solving, equitable community engagement, and creating arts-based strategies to address recovery, rebuilding and ongoing community and economic development. 

On June 13th, we’ll be offering a Spanish translated session! // El 13 de Junio, el taller será traducido al español!
