Annual Urban Harvest Fest

, , , , , , , , , ,

9/17/22

The Annual Urban Harvest Festival is Urban Triage’s first festival celebrating all we’ve sowed over the summer and since the beginning of Urban Triage. Our Harvest celebration is grounded in sustainability, growth, and community.

What we do and who we are would not be–and is not possible without the support and commitment of our funders, volunteers, co-conspirators, community members, and staff. Together we’ve planted, sowed, and reaped tremendous growth and have impacted thousands of vulnerable community members in the Greater Dane County Area.

We’re on a mission to empower and inspire transformation and breakthroughs in our community through collaboration and cooperation. And we’ve done just that, and we’re just getting started.

Please celebrate with us all that we’ve accomplished together at our Farm–which has offered healing and sustainability for families in the Dane County Area. The work we do matters. And the families we serve and inspire are living proof.

Join us at The Farley Center on Saturday, September 17, 2022. It’s a fun-filled day of live music, acrobatics, a DJ, a majorette performance, food, spoken word, wine, and beer.

“I came to learn about food sustainability for myself and for my family. I enrolled in the program to learn healthier habits and to learn how to make money. I’ve gotten so much more from the program. Community. Healing. And bonding with the people that matter the most–my children.” – SHBA Cohort 1″

Natural Path Sanctuary- Creative Dying Game

, , , , , ,

9/1/22

You are invited to come to the Farley Center / Natural Path Sanctuary for an evening of connection and meaningful conversation with the Creative Dying Card Game on Thursday, September 1 st. from 6:00-7:30 p.m. This event will be hosted by Megan & Ryan Miller at the picnic tables in the Bur Oak Welcoming Area (BOWA).

The Creative Dying Card Game is a conversation card game with the intention of offering a low-stakes, accessible way to have meaningful conversations about life and death. The game includes 176 question prompts to help inspire self-reflection and conversation.

Although talking about death is often avoided, exploring this topic can be liberating and practically important. In playing the Creative Dying card game, we hope that you might experience greater insight and connection to yourself, to other beings, and to the larger rhythms of life.
This game is part of the larger Creative Dying Project (founded by Megan & Ryan Miller), whose mission to start conversations about death, encourage end-of-life planning and establish an inclusive, community-based dying center.

This event is open to all, no experience or preparation necessary. Water and tea will be provided, feel free to bring a cup and anything else that might help you be comfortable during our time together.

You can learn more and check out the game at CreativeDying.org/game. $5-10 donations are encouraged but not required.
