Foundation, Community, Creativity, Garden, Craft

A foundational week in Silver Lake ~ in creative projects, community, gardens, gatherings, groups, family and tribe. MAAT Music continues to share “We Are The Web” around the world and prepares the studio for more creative brewing, forging, and future music releases for later this year.

In the Micheltorena Elementary & Community Garden, the cob oven project opened to new possibilities as we explored different design options in a potluck summit, and debated merits of alternate options. The design we are now leading to is called a BARREL OVEN, and this video shows the ENTIRE process in fast motion: http://ilovecob.com/archive/tag/oven

We then enjoyed regular garden tending after making some more adobe bricks.

welcome to new garden & chicken care volunteers!

Mario pretends to work up a sweat 🙂

Also, the beautiful honey-colored chicken is brooding (sad that she has no eggs to hatch) and needs some comfort and cheering ~ perhaps the moms & dads in Silver Lake could visit @lasmichickas and share some stories with the coop how challenging parenting can sometimes be – maybe it will improve her mood?

Saturday February 9th we will be in the garden again ~ join us as we move forward!

Then on Sunday Feb 3, Gaia Grove hosted a garden brunch in Silver Lake to honor the coming spring, Imbolc & FCW Society Day with delicious home made bread, tasty organic salads & spreads, a blueberry/strawberry/papaya pie, healing tonics, milk and honey, and shared creativity from poetry to song, baking to craft ~ it was a day filled with fresh inspiration, blazing fires, healing music, and enchanting of the earth ~ all to make the ground more fertile for creative projects this year and beyond ~ hope to see you in the garden some time soon ~
