Exploring Mindfulness and Change in Olana’s Farm
Saturday, August 17, 2024 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Olana State Historic Site
Why do so many turn to farms and gardens in moments of personal, social and ecological turbulence? From about 1861 to 1870, the farm, orchard and garden below Frederic and Isabel Church's first house at Olana, Cosy Cottage, was a place to ground their daily lives. Today, the once productive farm looks different. A rewilding meadow and honeybee hives stand where there were once peach, cherry and apple trees. During this program, participants will walk through the historic farm, using their senses to tune into the living world of plants and animals. Use sketching and journaling to gather plant impressions and explore who continues to inhabit the farm now. The program will include opportunities for sharing and discussion and will end with seasonal snacks.$15 general; $10 Members; $5 Columbia & Greene County Residents.
