Cool winds encourage the first leaves ready to drift down to earth, creature teachers start to gather in their tasty harvests to last through the cold season...

Celebrating the cycles of nature helps us synchronize ourselves with our nature neighborhoods. Join eco-connection mentors Honey Sweet Harmony to honor the coming of Autumn! Participants will be guided through activities that help us feel Autumn's energy - including songs particularly suited to multigenerational, community-style singing. You can then draw inspiration from your participation in this gathering to design activities for your own household, community, and educational programs.

These seasonal gatherings are highly experiential. With a focus on interactions among attendees, we will not be recording.  

Practicing diversity, equity, and inclusion, these online gatherings are designed for maximal accessibility. If you need to eat, drink, move/stretch physically, take a break from looking at the digital screen and just listen, have a youngster of your household present with you, or other forms of flexibility that will make live attendance possible, please know those are supported. Reach out to programs@anbe.org if you have any questions.

A bundle of gifts to inspire your own Autumnal activity designs will be emailed to all who register. 

A certificate of completion will be provided upon request to those who attend the complete event live.

While there is no charge to attend, donations for this event help ANBE continue to offer high quality, accessible programs for everyone.

MEET YOUR FACILITATORS

Honey Sweet Harmony is an interspecies creativity-catalyzing mentorship constellation. McCadden is the human spokesperson, collaborating with dog and cat helpers. Together kin* are committed to remembering regenerative cultural patterns, and have decades of experience with all ages from toddlers to seniors as deep nature connection mentors and ancestral skills facilitators specializing in stories, music, and movement, eco-spiritual healing arts, ceremony facilitation, and grief / peace tending. For 25 years kin have taught experiential enrichment programs in a diverse range of public and private schools, camps, community centers, spiritual-based and nature-based organizations. Kin have served as facilitators for ANBE webinars and in-person workshops, Village Talk (a weekly phone conference for adults committed to nature connection), Community Song Circles and Story Circles, Ancestor Suppers, solar and lunar phase ceremonies, and many more forms of multigenerational community events inspired by nature’s rhythms. Kin also offer private mentoring and eco-healing sessions for individuals, families, and organizations. You'll find seasonal Song Groves and activity ideas that kin have cultivated for ANBE in our Blog archives.
