Walk the Gardens with Blanka Aguero, bryophyte data manager at the Duke University Herbarium, in collaboration with the Duke University Herbarium, to look for mosses and liverworts, discussing what they tell you about the site. You will learn identifying characteristics of these small plants by observing similarities and differences with a magnifying lens. Blanka will lead a separate program focused on the mosses of Duke Forest on April 29.
Explore different facets of transformation through the lens and practice of ecosomatics in a series of five workshops designed around a central theme that can also be taken as stand-alone classes. The April 10 session will focus on transformative frameworks for understanding and engaging with change. Bringing together ecosomatics and decolonial thought, this class invites participants to reflect on the profound transformations happening in our world and the ways we might show up differently in this era of climate change. Through guided movement, embodied reflection and sensory exercises, we will consider how our interdependence with the natural world can inspire new ways of being. Engage with the garden as a site of learning, connection and possibility, and leave with tools for grounding and action in these times of transformation.
