Pollinators of the Rocky Mountain Region: Understanding their diverse biodiversity and Ecology
Learn about the diversity of our pollinators of the Rocky Mountain Region. This program will highlight the origins, differences and preferences of the many different pollinators that we see in our region along with solutions to contribute to their continued success.
We will also catch (and release) pollinators for identification in the field. No experience needed!
Connecting With The Seasons
These classes (come to just one or many!) at Dharma’s Garden will focus on a different aspect of ecology each month through the lens of land stewardship and connection to seasonality. Each class seeks to empower community members with knowledge about the processes of earth, focusing on interconnected relationships between animals / plants / soil / humans, and how individual pieces work together in resilience. Consider this a class on the basics of ecology with nature as our classroom, exploring the land to teach us the cycle of birth, growth, and death through the seasons. Each class will consist of a brief lesson, a group walk around the land with discussion, and an activity to get our hands and bodies moving with the earth.

Humming Stillness
This is a sound healing practice you can take with you anywhere.
We’ll ready ourselves through conversation and contemplation of the elements: earth, water, fire, air and space. Come prepared to use your voice with resonant tones and a deeper breath. Together, we’ll enliven our senses to the infinite present moment and open our attention to the wonders of being.
Foundations of Willow Basketry (LEVEL 1)
This class is designed to give you a solid introduction into weaving your first willow basket. You will learn to weave a round base, several weaving patterns to build the walls of your basket, and a border to finish it. Students will go home with a completed basket and possibly some extra bases to weave baskets at home. Students will also learn about gathering, processing, storing and preparing willow for weaving. Instructor Gelsomina Malferrari will guide participants.
(Prerequisite: Intro to Basket Weaving - Make a Tension Tray!)
Foundations of Willow Basketry (LEVEL 2)
This course is designed to follow the Foundations of Willow Basketry class. Students will get to practice their new skills while creating a bigger, more intricate basket. Students will also learn to add integral handles to their medium sized baskets, so they are easier to carry. These baskets can be used as laundry baskets, harvest baskets, toy baskets… so many options. New patterns will be introduced and students will gain more experience in shaping their dream basket.
