A Joyous July at Hart’s Mill

A lot happens in a month at Hart’s Mill Ecovillage!  Here are the headlines from July:

The July 3rd Work Day sizzled with activity—gardening, cobbing, trail building, and even excavating a seeder axel-deep in the mud(!)—followed by food for all. Thanks to our fearless leader, Jeffry, and all who showed up. Stay tuned for news about a work camp over Labor Day weekend!

The Hart’s Mill architecture process is picking up steam. Thanks to Anthony for keeping the train moving on track and to all of you who are responding with wisdom and heart to the requests for input and participation. More opportunities are coming and you’ll hear about what YOU can do very soon.

Preparation for the Land Dome Ceremony continued with a discussion on July 11 with Dance Chief, Michael Stein. Michael offered a riveting talk about this shamanic tradition in general and the ceremony in particular. Those who attended were moved and impressed by the magnitude and potential power of this offering. Thanks to María for making this possible!

Presenters from Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) came to Arcadia Common House for a 2-hour workshop.  Twenty-two people including fourteen Hart’s Mill members convened to learn about the ways in which racism operates in our society today and how we can work against it. Thanks to Rita for organizing this inspiring and thought-provoking event, and to Randy for offering the location. There will be more to come!

Our Third Thursday Heart Sharing Circle nourished connection and deep expression for all who attended. Thanks to María and Joe for this beautiful offering. If YOU have an offering or idea for a Third Thursday, please be in touch with Hope – what can we cook up?

Cob Haven is ready for plastering! This is a great chance for you to put your mark on a cottage built with community clay by many hands. Come on over for the September 2/3 work weekend (more details from Randy to come).

 

Hart’s Nest is now available to the Hart’s Mill Ecovillage Community! Paul and Hope closed on the home on July 6th.   Many members have helped us to pack, move, and spruce up the place. There’s still a lot to do, but we would not have been able to manage without all the support and good will from YOU in the process. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who have helped us get this far, and to all who will fill this space with love and possibilities. Contact Paul and/or Hope if you’d like to stop by.
