Seasons of Connection: Community Stewardship Session 3. Connect: Land & Spirit

Join us for Connecting Land and Spirit, a community-guided nature walk led by Maia Mudrić of Touch Grass Club.

By building relationships with people, places and nature, we begin to connect land and spirit as a shared community worth caring for.

We’ll begin at the gazebo at Queen Mary Park Community League before heading out into the neighbourhood. The walk centres on culture — how people have related to the land they live on, and what gets lost when those practices fade. Maia will share from her own Slavic heritage, including the tradition of wearing a red cord through the winter and tying it around the first bud to open in spring, leaving a piece of yourself behind in nature.

We’ll gather natural materials as we go, for building forest creatures to place back in the landscape — the same idea in reverse, bringing a piece of nature home with us.

Whether you spend a lot of time outdoors or are simply curious about getting closer to the natural world, you’re welcome here.
