Wild Indigo Guild Events
Centre Guild and Tree Sale
Gather with our Centre Guild for our first (hopefully, annual) tree sale at KF Farm. We’ve been working on developing our tree nursery at the farm after several years of growing in our back yards. Now its time to introduce YOU to our space and share the trees and shrubs we’ve been caring for. Each hour we’ll give a guided contemplative walk of the fields and woodland around the farm and share about our developing little nursery. All are welcome!
May 9th from 10am to 5pm at KF Farm, 3449 Clements road in Plum, PA. Visit our online store to see all of our trees and shrubs that will be for sale, you can even purchase ahead of time to be sure you can get what you want. www.wild-indigo-guild.com/treenursery

We’ll do some meditative walking in farm and forest, 'Holy forest reading’ as opening prayer time. Then we’ll build wooden beds for the wild indigo guild tree nursery, and plant more pawpaw and oak seeds.
Light refreshments available, but we certainly welcome you bringing food and soft drinks to share. Dress for the weather, bathrooms are available.
Centre Guild - Prayer, Potluck and Practice
Gather with our Centre Guild for a relaxed time of prayer, learning, storytelling, a potluck meal and time working with your hands on a selected project. All are welcome! Updates on location coming in late February based on the weather forecast.
This month we’ll focus on the spiritual practice of “care and repair.” In a world of fast fashion and disposable everything we’re considering how we might slow down and care for the tools, clothing, people and possessions in our lives. How does the myth of disposability affect our spiritual lives, our relationships with others and the earth? Bring your rusty fruit tree pruners, garden shovels and other hand tools that you’d like to make new again. We’ll also consider what this practice looks like on our land in our relationships and with creation.

We will hike the Majestic Adirondack Great Range which includes 7 Adirondack Mountains named Upper Wolfjaw, Lower Wolfjaw, Armstrong, Gothics, Saddleback, and Basin. We will also include Mt. Marcy, the highest point in New York State. This will be an epic three-night four-day backpacking expedition over challenging terrain with some of the best mountain views in the Eastern United States.
