Thanksgiving weekend was full, varied, and enriching at Hart’s Mill!
The previous weekend, Hart’s Mill had a presence at the 
Emerson Waldorf School’s Children’s Faire and Artisan Marketplace. Christina, Marilyn, Rita, Virginia, Charles, Anthony, and Paul greeted visitors and engaged in conversation about our community. Christhome. All agreed that it was a beautiful event. Thanks to Bailey and Gaius for opening this door for Hart’s Mill.
We began a new tradition of Thanksgiving at Hart’s Nest. Beautiful weather, amazing food, delightful guests, a lengthy walk on the trails after the main meal followed by fantastic strumming and singing all evening by Tain were enjoyed by all. It was a wonderful day!
On Thanksgiving Saturday, Randy, María, and Hope began to walk, assess, and partially clear the North-to-Northeast boundary line as the next phase of preparing for the Land Dome Ceremony. It’s going to be a big and joyful job to clear the entire perimeter and volunteers are very welcome to step up and help! If you are interested in this service, please contact María at Mariastawsky@gmail.com
Later in the day, on the last Saturday of the month, Our NEW Governance and Training Circle offered the second conversation and learning opportunity related to sociocracy and cooperative skills. With María’s guidance, we had a rich and enlightening discussion of power dynamics in communities in November, followed by a delicious meal with chili made from a home-grown pumpkin and cooked up by Bailey. In December, we’ll be preparing to greet the New Year with practices for reflective listening. Let’s begin the year in the spirit of cooperation.
On Thanksgiving Sunday, Randy, Tain, Greg, and Matt worked on building the rocket stove for Cob Haven. Read all about this involved endeavor in the previous post.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this time all about community, gratitude, generosity, and creativity!
