The holiday of Tu BiShvat—the time when, in Jewish tradition, the trees become another year older—falls halfway between the winter solstice and spring equinox. Join us to honor this moment of renewal and consider how we can live in deeper reciprocity with the natural world while we explore the land at Living Tree.

Due to extreme cold in the weather forecast, we’ll be primarily gathering indoors.

• 2–3 p.m.: Outdoor winter fun (optional). For those who love the cold: sledding and skiing in the field! Melanie will be at the sledding hill, and Sephirah will guide a ski loop for anyone who wants to get their winter adventure in first.

• 3 p.m.: Indoor Tu BiShvat journey at the Common House.

  Come in from the cold for an experiential journey through the four worlds of the Tu BiShvat seder. We'll connect to environmental stewardship, the trees, and our local landscape through story, song, seasonal fruits, and reflection. We'll end with a sound bath, and then step outside for a little tree time before gathering around the fire with hot chocolate, hemlock tea, and birthday cake for the trees

  We’re thrilled to be joined by special guest Shamu Sadeh, lead educator and director of the Adamah Fellowship program at Isabella Freedman.

• What to bring (if participating in outdoor fun):

• Warm layers for outdoor activities

• Sleds, skis, or snowshoes (if you have them)

• Snowshoes available for rent at Clearwater Sports
