This week’s calendar

You’ve probably seen “NYC’s Jazzy R&B Duo” on HBO or Amazon, but this is your chance to experience their fun personalities at one of their shows!

This playful couple might remind you of Lucy & Ricky, and if you like everything from Erykah Badu to Billie Holiday, you’ll love grooving to their Soulful Sounds.

Living Water is centered in nature, mindfulness, & community. On April 6th, we invite you to stop in for morning yoga, pick up garden plants at our seed and plant swap, tour our bee sanctuary and gardens, learn about bees with our community beekeeping team, tune in to the healing qualities of your own voice, & dance with Dances of Universal Peace. You are welcome for any part of the day, or all of it! This is an appreciation donations event—donations toward the event and our ongoing projects are welcomed if you are able

This event is a combination of teach-in and print workshop. We will begin with a discussion around a series of terms, now common at palestinian solidarity protests such as: “from the River to the Sea,” “genocide,” “apartheid,” “zionism” and “anti-zionism,” “intifada,” “watermelon,” and others. This will be run by Faedah Totah and Noah Simblist. After this discussion we will transition into breakout workshops to make posters, signs, and poems, facilitated by Cara Benedetto, Jamie Mahoney, and Rosa Castellano.

In addition to learning and making, a goal of this workshop is coalition building between various groups in the Richmond area that are engaged with Palestinian solidarity work.

Participants bring t-shirts, totes and paper to print on. Donations are welcome and can be brought to the event.

Weeds, weeds, everywhere. What’s a community to do? Pick them of course! During the establishment phase of any native meadow, there is a certain level of weed mitigation that is necessary until the native plants are strong enough to repel them.

Along with weeding, volunteers will have the option to help install the rope and post fence, assemble benches, and set benches in concrete. All tools will be provided! Wear comfortable clothes and bring water bottle and bagged lunch.
