Ancient Farming Festivals: Day-long Workshop

Bluffwood Landing
Monticello, WI

Share this event:

Time travel with LindaDee back to ancient Anglo Saxon gatherings for Equinoxes and Solstices. Learn about the Celtic fire festivals of Beltane, Sowhain, Imbolc and Lammas and their religious and secular counterparts today. Make a good luck corn dolly to take home as we eat and drink of the season while LindaDee shares stories and leads rituals that evolved long, long ago in farming communities across northern Europe. These Holy Days of our ancestors revolved around yearly cycles of AgriCULTURE, of growing food, of the seasons, the sun and the moon and some are still practiced today. Merry meet & merry part & merry meet again!"

Teens 13 and older welcome with their own ticket (for the teen).

A free copy of Renewing the Countryside: WISCONSIN will be given away to every family, couple and/or household registered for a particular workshop (a $26.95 value); the free book giveaway is limited to one copy per residential address of attendees.

About LindaDee at Bluffwood Landing:

LindaDee has worn many hats in 70+ years: UW grad, Peace Corps, Broom Street Theater, Lindas Lakeside Market, Sunporch Cafe & Art Gallery, Dane Co. Business Woman of the Year, Treaty Rights, Witness for Non-violence, B&B innkeeper, teacher, master gardener, town treasurer, political activist and now farmer for 25 years. She brings all that to her classes at Bluffwood, a 15-acre organic sheep/wool farm. When not tending sheep, spinning wool, or teaching, LindaDee bounces around her riotous gardens belting out original songs. Sheep mow lawn, soil flourishes, diversity reigns, hobbits lurk & miracles happen. One of those miracles will be YOU participating in a Workshop.

CANCELLATION POLICY: NO REFUNDS. SOIL SISTERS has a no refund policy. You can, however, transfer your ticket to another person, provided that person is in possession of the ticket at the time of the workshop.
