Seed Group Info

Seed Groups are the way we categorize the bulk of our workshops at Forestdance.   Folks share time as a group on a certain subject matter, and go deep building community around the specific topics. Group members should contact the hub facilitator if there is something they specifically would like to teach or offer.

There will be two time slots during each day so gathering attendees may be a part of as many as two seed groups every day. People are welcome to move from one group to another, but also know that there is something special that occurs when the groups grow together over a period of days. Certain workshops may be offered as part of a seed group. Also each hub facilitator will be invited to teach at the heARTbeat collective in Jamaica Plain, MA during the winter, and all seed group attendees will be invited to participate. There may also be an online connection group so people can share updates and announcments about their work.
