TARWEED SEEDS

Thank you to everyone for their support thus far in our 2024 year-end series! Over the past five weeks, all but one of our Steering Committee members have shared their stories and connections with Tarweed Folk School in a weekly installment of email newsletters.


To close off our storytelling series for this year, Steering Committee member Rose Holdorf will share her telling of the Tarweed story, and how we all came together to build our past two years.

This week, our Steering Committee member Daniel Pono Takamori shares why tending to the land and each other is at the heart of his contributions to Tarweed in his submission to our storytelling series. Daniel grew up in Corvallis and with his day job being at a non-profit dedicated to ethical technology, he brings incredibly useful logistics and governance ideas to our place-based education endeavor!

This week, our newest Steering Committee member Sunia Yang shares why she joined the Tarweed team and why she is passionate about the folk school. Sunia has taken a variety of craft classes with Tarweed over the past two years and we are so grateful for all the work she has put into our small organization so far!
