Cultivate creativity through ecological connection in a retreat nurturing land, community, and song with Amber Rubarth, Jamila Norman, and Alixa García.

Cultivate creativity in this immersive retreat led by musician and naturalist Amber Rubarth with guest teachers Alixa García and Jamila Norman.

Inspired by the ancient agricultural practice of planting cover crops—seeds sown not for personal harvest but to enrich and protect the soil—this workshop offers a transformative lens for creative and community nourishment.

Through song, land-based learning, storytelling, and hands-on practice, participants explore how cultivating care for the ground mirrors how we nurture relationships, communities, and our inner landscapes.

The retreat culminates in a collaborative concert featuring Amber and guest musicians, celebrating the creative and ecological connections shared over the three days. Participants leave inspired to seed more resilience, reciprocity, and creativity in the environments they inhabit. No prior experience necessary.
