RIPPLES OF GENEROSITY, HOLIDAY MARKET, AND SPRING CLASSES OPEN FOR REGISTRATION!

Sunia and fellow Steering Committee Member, Duncan Ellinwood, stand outside our July Open House at Wade Hardware, next to the community weaving project!

This is a big week for Tarweed Folk School, and a busy one at that! In addition to our holiday classes (with spaces still left in Thursday's Tin Can Luminaries class), we've got a lot of news to share.

This week, Sunia Yang reflects on generosity and the power it holds, when you receive it but also when you bestow it. Sunia has taken all kinds of classes at Tarweed, supports our free events and offerings, helps us figure out systems and numbers for our organization, and will also lead few lichen walks next year!
