 A change of seasons! Dear friends,
Fall is such a busy time and that's especially true here on The Farm. It's the end of the summer harvest and time to plant the fall garden. Making sure you have enough firewood for the winter and for me, feeding my bees so that they have enough honey stored to make it through the cold months ahead.
I want to call special attention to Earthfolk, a group here in the community that has taken on the management of events like our monthly Market Day and who are the hosts of the upcoming dance and drum workshops in October. there's been several of these now and it keeps growing and expanding. if you want to get in touch with your inner rhythm, this is a great weekend to check out!
To highlight my upcoming dance weekend in November, I've added some pictures in this month's newsletter to give you a look at some of the spaces where we gather here in the community, especially our Community Center.
Peace, Douglas
 The EarthFolk Presents Drum & Dance Clinic is a community-based and educationally driven 4-day learning event, an opportunity to explore rhythm and technique where all levels of experience are embraced. We strive to provide a diverse array of offerings and create an environment that serves as a safe space to gather, commune, and celebrate life together.
The classes aim to provide participants with the technique, theory, and vocabulary so that they are empowered to bring their creativity and inspiration to shared rhythm experiences. Additional instruction is provided on traditional vocabulary so that participants can broaden their awareness of approaches to music and movement to include a more global perspective and deepen their awareness of other cultures.

 The Farm’s Community Center is our primary indoor space with enough room for over 100 dancers and a comfortable, recycled hardwood floor.
 The Community Center is also where we share meals and network.  Sacred Ground: The Farm’s cemetery is included in the community tour, where we share a dance to commune with spirits seen and unseen.  The gazebo offers a covered outdoor space with an incredible vista! Dance space for approximately 40 people.  Fall beauty!
In the last issue I introduced you to Lonnie, one of our newest residents who works at The Farm School. In this podcast, she is talking with April Finerty, K-2nd grade teacher, about leading the second annual Farm School summer program! Use their tips to start a summer program of your own!
Located in Summertown, Tennessee, The Farm School has been serving The Farm Community and selected students from outside the community since 1971. Learn more on The Farm School’s website: https://www.thefarmschool.community/
