When we feel this way, it is important to restore our sense of hope. We can do this in many ways. We can spend time with friends and family members, read inspirational stories, listen to music, write poetry or go walking in the woods. These activities restore our energy and give us strength to transform what is into what ought to be. This program uses storytelling and discussion to help renew our sense of hope.
Participants make and take home an Earth-friendly craft.
To get inside a gardener's boots, participants will harvest, save and plant seeds in the greenhouse or outside in the organic garden. Participants leave with a seed to plant back at school or home. Participants discover just how dependent we are on the plants and animals who share this Earth with us. Through hands-on activities, storytelling and a nature hike, participants find out about photosynthesis, food chains, food webs and the importance of allowing the web of life to remain in balance. Students leave with concrete examples of how to help keep life's web healthy and strong.
