Got Seed?
Thursday, July 18
7 pm
At Thoreau Farm
$10/ person to attend in person. Registration Required.
Jennifer Jewell shares her new book What We Sow and what it means to tell the story of seeds. Join us for a lively interview and conversation around the amazing beauty and power of seed, seed people, and hope for our shared future with Jennifer Jewell, host of the award winning national, public radio program and podcast Cultivating Place and Tim Johnson, Executive Director, Native Plant Trust.
Reflecting Thoreau’s own statement, “Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders,” Jewell ultimately ends on the side of hope and the power of both seeds and seed people to grow creative and caring solutions for so many of the world’s great challenges.
We are delighted to also offer this program streaming via zoom. Please register on zoom to join us virtually.

Writing Your Story in the Woods
A two-day transformative memoir workshop with Dr. Barbara Mossberg
October 26 & 27, 2024
$200/person
Registration Required
No story is like yours — and your telling it is powerful and necessary. Join this workshop to find your woods and tell your story.
In this two-day workshop, national memoirist & distinguished teacher Dr. Barbara Mossberg invites you “to the woods” — a place to find focus, inspiration, connection, and support for developing your memoir. Experiments, prompts and exercises in this workshop are designed to invite, inquire, and invoke your own “woods” through Thoreau’s lens of living purposefully.
All registration fees for Write Connection at Thoreau Farm programs are non-refundable.
Donations to the Write Connection at Thoreau Farm are strongly encouraged and help make our free programs possible.
