Eco-Gratitude at Silo City: A Walking Workshop with Christina Vega-Westhoff
How does our gratitude shift when we ground it in the earth? Join poet, translator, and aerialist Christina Vega-Westhoff for a morning of “Eco-Gratitude” amidst the post-industrial, natural landscape of Silo City.
As part of the city-wide In Gratitude initiative, this generative workshop invites participants to walk the Silo City grounds, practice the art of noticing among the silos, and compose reflections that celebrate our interconnectedness with the natural world.
