Welcome to the Hearth
Hearth /härTH/ noun: used as a symbol of one's home.
The Hearth at the Green Witch is a special safe space inside the shop for people to explore collaborative art projects, workshops, and creative classes. Art, in all forms, is healing because it forges a connection between your mind and your body. Unlike exercise, which works your body, or meditation, which clears your mind, art-making accesses both mind and body to promote healing. Art can harness the healing power within each of us and help bring us into community with one another.
Each season we add a wide variety of classes and workshops that embrace many aspects of conscious and regenerative living, taught by professional, passionate, and fun educators. Our passion is to inform and inspire you to deepen your relationship with the natural world and one another.
Learn.
Heal.
Celebrate.
Our creative classes, workshops and special events are open to everyone from beginners to experts and always include herbal tea and a homemade seasonal dessert.
Some of our upcoming workshops include:
Plant Dyes and Twined Yarn Pouches
Backyard Basketry: Coiling with Grasses, Cattails, & More
Botanical Sun Prints: Plants & Cyanotypes
Gardening and Foraging Natural Dyes
Harvest Baskets Making
Introduction to Freeform Tapestry Weaving
Botanical Watercolors
Celebrate With Us
Honoring the seasons is a beautiful way to tune yourself into nature and connect with Mother Earth. The themes of birth, death and rebirth are played out across a year that is divided into light and dark, male and female, sun and moon, growth and rest, and heat and cold. The ancients and their predecessors saw time as a wheel or spiral divided by eight festivals.
All of these seasonal cycles allow us to pause and connect with the land and with the energy of each season, as it shifts, and reflect what that means internally and externally. Understanding how everything is naturally turning is a great way to bring peace and harmony into your life. These celebrations allow us to truly be thankful for life, love, and honor all mother nature has to offer.
Celebrating these shifts in the seasons is nondogmatic and something anyone can do, no matter your religion, age, heritage, or gender. You are invited to join us at The Green Witch for potluck dinners celebrating the eight festivals, main solar events, solstices, and equinoxes.
Celebrate the Turning of the Wheel with Feasting, Friends, and Good Food
