SUMMARY:Grazing\, Growing\, and Gathering: Exploring Regenerative Farming at Preservation Farm and Carr’s Ciderhouse
DESCRIPTION:Join the Hampden-Hampshire Conservation District for an evening at Preservation Orchard\, home to Carr’s Ciderhouse and Meadowfed Lamb\, for a unique farm walk and fall social celebrating local agriculture\, community\, and the harvest season. Nestled on the slopes of Mt. Warner in Hadley\, this historic orchard is home to a dynamic\, integrated farming project committed to ecological restoration\, soil health\, and traditional foodways. \nThe evening will begin with a guided walk led by Nicole Blum\, Ava Blum-Carr\, and Jonathan Carr of Carr’s Ciderhouse\, and Rachel Haas and Matt Kaminsky of Meadowfed Lamb. Learn about their innovative silvopasture system that brings together sheep\, chickens\, nut trees\, and heirloom apples in a regenerative rotation. We’ll tour the orchard\, nut groves\, no-till vegetable plot\, and cider-making facility\, and meet the animals who help manage the landscape. Following the walk\, we’ll gather at the ciderhouse for a social hour with delicious food and a tasting of Carr’s naturally fermented ciders. \nThis event is designed for farmers\, land stewards\, and agricultural professionals interested in agroforestry\, soil health\, and climate-resilient farming practices—but all are welcome. Whether you’re a farmer or a curious neighbor\, come connect with your local land and food system while enjoying good cider\, good food\, and good company. \nPlease REGISTER HERE. Registration for this event is required. Suggested donation is between $10-50.

SUMMARY:The Work that Reconnects Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Online – Free to attend. Donations are welcome\, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. \nRegister here. \nAs part of their month-long Climate Action Challenge\, NOFA/Mass is hosting “The Work that Reconnects Workshop”. The following description is from the NOFA/Mass website: \nThe Work That Reconnects offers a larger story that puts our times into perspective. It supports us in honoring all our emotions\, including the painful ones\, and challenges us to act. It guides us through a transformational process informed by mythic journeys\, modern psychology\, spirituality\, and holistic science. This process equips us with tools to face the crises of our time and become more nourished\, energized\, empowered\, and inspired to act for life on Earth. \nThe above description of the Work was provided by Anne Goodwin\, Boston-based activist with Mothers Out Front and experienced Work That Reconnects facilitator. She and Karina Lutz\, a regenerative farmer\, longtime RI climate activist and Work That Reconnects facilitator now based in Western Mass\, will offer an introduction to the Work that Reconnects for the NOFA/Mass community. \nJoin us for this participatory 2-hour online workshop on the Work That Reconnects on Thursday\, November 3rd\, 7:00-9:00pm. \nAgenda: This workshop will follow the “Work That Reconnects” method developed by Joanna Macy\, Molly Young Brown\, Constance Washburn\, and colleagues: \nStarting with gratitude for living in Earth and all who are working for justice\, healing\, and regeneration\, we’ll move into honoring our pain for the state of the world\, then look at the world through a holistic\, systems-based and life-affirming paradigm\, and finally end with exercises to help us go forth into the world with renewed passion\, clarity\, and a sense of ‘power with’–instead of the prevailing ‘power over.’ \nAbout the Instructors: \nKarina Lutz (she/her) is a workshop leader and poet. She was founding board chair and then Deputy Director of People’s Power & Light. Now called Green Energy Consumers’ Alliance\, its mission is to make energy affordable and environmentally sustainable in RI and Massachusetts. She was instrumental in passage of sustainable energy legislation in Rhode Island and in thwarting a proposed megaport in Narragansett Bay. She offers Work That Reconnects workshops in the Connecticut River and Narragansett Bay watersheds (New England). \nAnne Goodwin (she/her) is a Boston based activist\, musician and artist. She has worked directly with Joanna Macy and has led many workshops in the Work That Reconnects for churches\, activist groups\, and others around New England. She particularly delights in incorporating songs\, visual art\, and movement into her facilitation. She works as a grassroots organizer with Mothers Out Front\, a national climate action movement. \nAbout the Framework: \nLearn more about the process at www.workthatreconnects.org and www.joannamacy.net and about SpiralEcology here at karinalutz.wordpress.com/spiralecology-workshops/ \nQuestions? \nContact Marty Dagoberto\, NOFA/Mass Policy Director\, at marty@nofamass.org
