Fill out this form if you are interested in attending this event hosted by the Environmental Justice Coalition (EJC) and CUNY Contemplative Urban Law Project (CCULP) in collaboration with local LIC community garden, Smiling Hogshead Ranch (SHHR). Learn more about them and their story on their website (
https://smilinghogsheadranch.org/) and in person at this event! We'll be learning a bit about the activist history of the garden and getting our gloves dirty with some work hours before enjoying a peaceful outdoor yoga session within the garden, then finishing the evening off with SHHR's weekly community potluck. Join for whatever you can (work hours are heavily encouraged)! Let's savor these last weeks of beautiful weather and start this semester off in community, taking a moment to connect to the land, one another, and ourselves. Non-CUNY friends are welcome, just please pass along this link to them so that we can be in touch about updates.
Please Bring:
- Water bottle
- Bug spray
- Comfy clothes
- Yoga mat (there will be a limited number available to share - please note below if you need to borrow one!)
- A dish or treat to share if you can!
- Any amount you are comfortable donating to the farm
Thank you SHHR for creating this nourishing space for community to gather! Be on the lookout for more events in the garden.
