Sacred Harvest with Starhawk

CANCELED

ADMISSION: $16 Members; $24 general (includes Museum admission)

Shavuot, a holiday taking place seven weeks after Passover, marked the harvest time for winter-sown wheat in ancient Judea and the celebration of the first fruits. In these challenging times when injustice and destruction abound, how do we sow the seeds of justice and regeneration? Join us for this event which explores the nature-based mythology inherent in Judaism and what it means as we consider the harvests we reap in our own lives. Starhawk weaves together Jewish tradition and nature awareness with meditation, ritual, story, and song. Presented in partnership with the JeWitch Collective.
