Workshop! The Real Work: Art, Nature, and Resilience-Workshop+Concert! $45 4:00-5:00
Come early for an engaging workshop with folk-activist David Huckfelt to explore themes of art, nature, and resiliency.
The term “Real Work”, coined by beat poet Gary Snyder in the 1960s, encourages us to reconnect with the natural world and do the enduring work needed today: to love and protect our planet, our fellow humans, and all creatures great and small.
David will share how his immersion in natural spaces, and work with indigenous peoples has inspired creativity, resiliency, and a love for the earth and humankind. He will highlight his 2018 artist-in-residency on Isle Royale where alone in nature, he wrote fourteen songs leading to his breakout solo album, Stranger Angels
Through this unique and intimate workshop, participants will explore themes of nature, creativity, and resiliency through reflection, meditation, and engagement in the natural world.
Participants should dress for the outdoors and bring a journal.
Price of workshop includes evening performance at The Acreage!
