In celebration of the deep mid-winter beauty, Living Tree Alliance is hosting a multi generational birthday party for the trees in honor of the Jewish tradition of Tu B Shvat. With programs for all ages and all backgrounds, we will plant seeds of stewardship and community in the forests, fields and by the fire.
We'll gather 11 am to 2 pm, with three program options:
- Outdoor family program. Led by primitive skills mentor Elliot Cluba of Herbs and Arrows and Living Tree Education Director Melanie Grubman, we'll connect with the holiday through storytelling, forest games and tracking.
- Music for little ones. Ms Andrea of Musical Munchkins will lead a joyful indoor musical program for young children.
- Contemplative showshoe/walk for adults. Led by Sephirah Oshkello, we'll snowshoe or walk through the woods on a contemplative journey inspired by the teachings of Jewish mystics, while appreciating and connecting with the tree community that lives here.
Be sure to dress warmly for outdoor activities.
If there's snow, you're invited to bring sleds, skiis, and snowshoes for outdoor fun on the property.
Bring food to share around the fire!
