Land Stewardship Camp with Connor Stedman
June 21-22, 2025 in Conway, MA
We often hear the call to steward Earth… but what can this look and feel like in our day-to-day lives? This practical hands-on workshop explores questions of how we can listen to the land and practice reciprocity with our living surroundings.
