Thank you Safeway team! Safeway came out to the farm last week to volunteer! Many hands made quick work of our downed walnut tree, and working on our hugel mounds in the food forest. Later in the day, we were invited to the Hackathon at Safeway headquarters where passionate groups of employees helped various nonprofits solve a challenge they were facing. Thank you for an amazing day of volunteering and support! 🙏

Seniors from IRCO Africa House diligently sow seeds at the farm. This is such a fantastic task (that is so vital for growing food!) as it's more accessible, requires less bending, and is great for coordination and agility.

Adam and Robert making endless triangles for our 30' geodesic dome in the food forest! We're following a design by Trillium Domes, and, fingers crossed, our dome will be an amazing shelter for community gathering before the rains come.

*No singing experience is required – we mean it! Communal singing is about sharing song together and all voices are welcome as they are. Songs will be taught call and echo style.*

🌱How does a song share work? 🌱

The purpose of this gathering is to create a safe, nourishing space where we can share songs with each other and sing communally; and where you can show up authentically, exactly as you are.

We'll go around the circle and everyone will have an opportunity to teach a song to the group that we'll sing togther. You don't have to share if you don't want to! You're always welcome to listen or sing the songs of others without sharing your own.

You're welcome to bring your own song to share, or the songs of others, as long as they have permission to be shared.

🌱Event Details🌱

- Arrival between 5:30-6pm. We will sing from about 6-8:30pm.

- Please register via eventbrite if you can! This helps us know how many folks to expect and create a better experience for everyone! (link in bio)

- Venue: Kindness Farm – 7101 SE 127th Ave, Portland, OR 97236
