Join us for a ritual of environmental protection and letter writing for our local Zena Highwoods with Filipinx sound artist and nature recordist Zaneta. 

In this sound ritual, participants will immerse in the forest soundscapes of the Zena Highwoods and be guided into deep dreaming and journeying with the land, tapping into shared visions of a thriving wilderness.

Filled with these dreams and energies of the forest, we will sound care with our voices and our words, writing channeled letters to the Town of Ulster Planning Board for environmental protection of the Zena Highwoods. This is sacred ecological care in action at the grassroots level. Listening to our local forest in ritual and channeling energies of care and protection into tangible environmental action.

Participants are invited to co-create a community altar for the forest and bring offerings of love, art, beauty, care, and dreams for the forest in any way they feel called. Food, poems, art, photos, mementos, sprigs of herbs from a beloved garden, or blessed waters are just a few examples of potential offerings. 

We will also be writing email letters to be sent to the Town of Ulster for environmental action and protection. Participants are welcome to bring a computer or journal to draft letters to be sent before February 10th, the next major Ulster Planning Board meeting.
