Hobson's Bay Teacher Environment Network (TEN) Meeting: RITUAL & TREE PLANTING

Come along to the Term 2 TEN! (Rescheduled to Week 2 of Term 3 - Lots to catch up on!) 

We'll partake in some experiential learning around 'ritual' and plants with Rachel Forgasz and we will learn the 'ins' and 'outs' of successfully running your own planting day in schools (and how to nourish the plants afterwards). Places are limited! Catering is delicious! Come along. 

From Rachel's workshop at EASL Learning for Sustainability conference earlier this year: 

Performing rituals is something people have done across cultures over thousands of years;
and the absence of ritual in contemporary Western life is recognised as contributing to
feelings of anxiety, despondency, and powerlessness. While many of us think of rituals as
religious and formal, they don’t have to be. Creating and performing rituals is something
we can all do to express emotion, to make commitments, and to invite a greater sense
of purpose and connection in our lives. In this experiential workshop, we will explore the
powerful role that everyday rituals can play in these uncertain times, by supporting young
people, families, and communities, to connect with themselves, one another, and the Earth.
