What this experience is like in depth
Community Garden is a community and peer support experience. It is a shared plot of urban or suburban land tended by neighbors. It works with the understanding that healing is not only about insight but also about what is felt, witnessed, and released in the body, relationships, and environment. In a session, you attend workdays, receive a plot or shared responsibilities, and see people regularly. You will dig, plant, weed, water, harvest. This is offered in a group setting, typically Ongoing, and this is a touch-free experience. People often choose this when they are carrying Burnout, Loneliness, Need for Community, and Loss of Purpose. Over time, this work can become a way of relating to yourself with less fear and more capacity.
