SUMMARY:Recipes & Rituals for Community Care: Generative Conflict & Herbal Supports
DESCRIPTION:“Without shifting our focus to repairing our relationships\, our movements will rot from the inside out.” – Ejeris Dixon\n\n\nConflict is inevitable. We are all capable of hurting someone and people can also hurt us too. Conflict can be a moment to learn about ourselves\, our relationships and an opportunity to express our needs inside of those relationships. \nParticipants will learn about the framework of conflict transformation and accountability\, how to have hard conversations\, and learn about herbs that can support them throughout this process. Participants will also have an opportunity to practice providing and receiving feedback and they will take home a customized tea blend to support them in future hard conversations. \nTeachings are based on work from Prentis Hemphill\, Mariame Kaba\, Shannon Perez-Darby\, Ejeris Dixon\, Mia Mingus and more. \n\n\n\nYour Facilitator: Diana Arellano\nDiana is a clinical herbalist-in-training born and raised in the southside of Chicago with roots in Durango\, Mexico now based in Brooklyn\, NY. For the past 15 years\, herbal medicine has played a key role in Diana’s healing journey and she has been working closely with plants\, teachers\, and curanderas to continue deepening her knowledge of plants. She loves to teach single herb workshops to highlight the extensive magic and medicine that any herb holds. During her herbal workshops\, Diana empowers participants to use their intuition and senses to guide their own relationship with plants. Through establishing a reciprocal relationship with plants\, we’re reminded of the connection and aliveness in ourselves and in plant beings.\n\n\n\nJoin us for Recipes and Rituals for Collective Care every Wednesday!\n \nWhat does it mean to heal in community? What does it feel like when we extend care to ourselves and the collective? How do plants and our local ecologies care for us? How can we care for the plants and local ecologies in return?\nWeave in rituals and recipes into your own self-care and community care practices through weekly explorations in herbal arts\, somatic movement in the greenhouse and garden\, folk remedies\, and other wild-crafts and meditative activities that foster a deeper connection to plants to care for the body\, mental health\, and the people you move with. \nEach week\, be guided by a guest herbalist\, healing artist\, or wellness practitioner who will help you create your own toolkit and apothecary for self and communal care. \n\nThis is a free drop-in program. Come to every class to build on your skill or come to one or two that you are available for. Explore your relationship to food and agriculture and the ways our food systems can connect us more deeply to our local ecosystems and communities.\n\n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use\, and while we try to cook without peanuts\, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit\, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers. \nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces. \nOur closest bathrooms are a building away\, about a one-minute walk. A gender neutral bathroom is also available\, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff. We are not a scent-free zone\, and because herbalism classes take place here\, cannot guarantee that the site will be clear of any essential oil smells. If you have needs not addressed here\, please reach out to Mallory Craig at mcraig@thehort.org.

SUMMARY:Sauté Sizzle Savor
DESCRIPTION:A culinary series celebrating seasonal\, plant-based cooking and the food stories that nourish us. Set in the garden and rooted in seasonal cooking\, critical conversation\, and collective nourishment. \nSauté Sizzle Savor is a weekly culinary series celebrating seasonal\, plant-based cooking rooted in horticulture through learning more about the plants we grow for food. Centering these plants and their growing cycles\, we explore the food stories that nourish us and the vital connections between garden\, kitchen\, and community. Through critical conversation\, collective nourishment\, and the rhythms of the growing season\, these gatherings invite participants to build community by sharing recipes\, cooking tips\, food stories\, and communal meals. \n\n\n\n\nIn these weekly sessions\, we invite participants to gather and build community as we share recipes\, food stories\, and helpful tips for how to cook with the plants that are in season. Each week\, participants can expect to be guided by food-workers\, culture-bearers\, chefs\, farmers\, elders\, or food-system thought visionaries who will lead us in both cooking class and critical conversation that has us consider how we share the foods we grow in community. \nDuring our CSA season\, we invite participants to come together in the Greenhouse Education Center around the kitchen table to share in the harvest of our weekly CSA share. In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model\, community members and farmers build a reciprocal and mutually-beneficial relationship—community members support farmers by sharing the risk and paying upfront so that farmers can focus on stewarding the land while farmers provide community with healthy\, organic\, and sustainably grown produce at an affordable price that goes directly into the farm’s pockets. \n\n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible.

Through critical conversation\, collective nourishment\, and the rhythms of the growing season\, these gatherings invite participants to build community by sharing recipes\, cooking tips\, food stories\, and communal meals. \n\n\n\n\nIn these weekly sessions\, we invite participants to gather and build community as we share recipes\, food stories\, and helpful tips for how to cook with the plants that are in season. Each week\, participants can expect to be guided by food-workers\, culture-bearers\, chefs\, farmers\, elders\, or food-system thought visionaries who will lead us in both cooking class and critical conversation that has us consider how we share the foods we grow in community. \nDuring our CSA season\, we invite participants to come together in the Greenhouse Education Center around the kitchen table to share in the harvest of our weekly CSA share. In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model\, community members and farmers build a reciprocal and mutually-beneficial relationship—community members support farmers by sharing the risk and paying upfront so that farmers can focus on stewarding the land while farmers provide community with healthy\, organic\, and sustainably grown produce at an affordable price that goes directly into the farm’s pockets. \n\n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use\, and while we try to cook without peanuts\, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit\, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers. \nOur closest bathrooms are a building away\, about a one-minute walk. An all-gender bathroom is also available\, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff. We are not a scent-free zone\, and because herbalism classes take place here\, cannot guarantee that the site will be clear of any essential oil smells. If you have needs not addressed here\, please reach out to programs@thehort.org \nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.

SUMMARY:Sauté Sizzle Savor
DESCRIPTION:A culinary series celebrating seasonal\, plant-based cooking and the food stories that nourish us. Set in the garden and rooted in seasonal cooking\, critical conversation\, and collective nourishment. \nSauté Sizzle Savor is a weekly culinary series celebrating seasonal\, plant-based cooking rooted in horticulture through learning more about the plants we grow for food. Centering these plants and their growing cycles\, we explore the food stories that nourish us and the vital connections between garden\, kitchen\, and community. Through critical conversation\, collective nourishment\, and the rhythms of the growing season\, these gatherings invite participants to build community by sharing recipes\, cooking tips\, food stories\, and communal meals. \n\n\n\n\nIn these weekly sessions\, we invite participants to gather and build community as we share recipes\, food stories\, and helpful tips for how to cook with the plants that are in season. Each week\, participants can expect to be guided by food-workers\, culture-bearers\, chefs\, farmers\, elders\, or food-system thought visionaries who will lead us in both cooking class and critical conversation that has us consider how we share the foods we grow in community. \nDuring our CSA season\, we invite participants to come together in the Greenhouse Education Center around the kitchen table to share in the harvest of our weekly CSA share. In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model\, community members and farmers build a reciprocal and mutually-beneficial relationship—community members support farmers by sharing the risk and paying upfront so that farmers can focus on stewarding the land while farmers provide community with healthy\, organic\, and sustainably grown produce at an affordable price that goes directly into the farm’s pockets. \n\n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use\, and while we try to cook without peanuts\, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit\, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers. \nOur closest bathrooms are a building away\, about a one-minute walk. An all-gender bathroom is also available\, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff. We are not a scent-free zone\, and because herbalism classes take place here\, cannot guarantee that the site will be clear of any essential oil smells. If you have needs not addressed here\, please reach out to programs@thehort.org \nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.

SUMMARY:Art in the Garden
DESCRIPTION:Cultivate creativity\, curiosity\, & settle into the restorative power of artmaking in the greenhouse and garden.\n\n\nCombine the art and science of observation in weekly artmaking inspired by plants in the greenhouse and garden.\nLearn meditative and mindful drawing\, printmaking and sculptural techniques\, scientific observation with plant portraiture\, and new practices from botanical and ecologically-focused contemporary artists to create works of art to celebrate the plants and flowers you feel most connected to. Immerse yourself in the learning garden\, greenhouse\, and across Riverbank State Park’s green roof overlooking the Hudson River to create artwork that is rooted in place and in partnership with plants.\nThis is a free drop-in program. Come to every class to build on your skill or come to one or two that you are available for. This class will end in a culminating Community Winter Show to exhibit your work in our greenhouse.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine.\nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.\nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use\, and while we try to cook without peanuts\, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit\, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers.\nOur closest bathrooms are a building away\, about a one-minute walk. A gender neutral bathroom is also available\, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff.

SUMMARY:Recipes and Rituals for Community Care
DESCRIPTION:We heal together in our kitchens\, gardens\, and shared spaces.\n\n\nWhat does it mean to heal in community? What does it feel like when we extend care to ourselves and the collective?

SUMMARY:Sauté Sizzle Savor
DESCRIPTION:A culinary series celebrating seasonal\, plant-based cooking and the food stories that nourish us. Set in the garden and rooted in seasonal cooking\, critical conversation\, and collective nourishment. \nSauté Sizzle Savor is a weekly culinary series celebrating seasonal\, plant-based cooking rooted in horticulture through learning more about the plants we grow for food. Centering these plants and their growing cycles\, we explore the food stories that nourish us and the vital connections between garden\, kitchen\, and community. Through critical conversation\, collective nourishment\, and the rhythms of the growing season\, these gatherings invite participants to build community by sharing recipes\, cooking tips\, food stories\, and communal meals. \n\n\n\n\nIn these weekly sessions\, we invite participants to gather and build community as we share recipes\, food stories\, and helpful tips for how to cook with the plants that are in season. Each week\, participants can expect to be guided by food-workers\, culture-bearers\, chefs\, farmers\, elders\, or food-system thought visionaries who will lead us in both cooking class and critical conversation that has us consider how we share the foods we grow in community. \nDuring our CSA season\, we invite participants to come together in the Greenhouse Education Center around the kitchen table to share in the harvest of our weekly CSA share. In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model\, community members and farmers build a reciprocal and mutually-beneficial relationship—community members support farmers by sharing the risk and paying upfront so that farmers can focus on stewarding the land while farmers provide community with healthy\, organic\, and sustainably grown produce at an affordable price that goes directly into the farm’s pockets. \n\n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible.
