Next Meeting:

Topic: Medicine Circles with Jessica Arroyo with Medicine Wheel.
The medicine wheel is a map and a symbol of totality, perfection, balance, and wholeness and guides our journey and helps us to unify ourselves with our surroundings. Jessica will discuss how the medicine wheel can help us see where we are located in order to know more about ourselves. It gives us the opportunity to situate ourselves and externalize our gifts, personality, conditioning, limitations and growth alternatives and teaches us to use all of these elements to heal, know and understand ourselves and cultivate a relationship with our surroundings.
Date & Time: Monday, September 9, 2024 @ 6 - 8:30 p.m. CST (Doors and Maker's Hour at 6, program at 7)
Location: Zilker Botanical Garden & Streaming via Zoom or YouTube
Cost: Free and Open to Public (Membership Encouraged)
Maker's Hour: Join us early for "Maker's Hour" at 6 where we'll have a hands-on session on seed starting to learn about starting veggies from seeds and help us grow transplants for our October plant sale and fundraiser on October 19th.
Don't forget to bring seeds and plants to swap afterwards, and if you can't make it in person, we will also be streaming the event via YouTube and zoom.
Plant Sale: Our annual plant sale and fundraiser will be Saturday, October 19th with setup for the sale will be on Friday the 18th. We love for as many of our club members and supporters as possible to grow veggie and herb starts as well as divide and propagate landscape plants for our sale. We'll also send out signup links for volunteering for setup and for the sale. Stay tuned!
