Tryon Life Community Farm is hosting its annual spring festival, Bloom! Join us in bringing this land to life with live musical performances, skillshares, storytelling, and other activities for kids and adults!
***BLOOM: THE SOCIAL JUSTICE EDITION***
We’ll also be sharing something that’s been blooming strongly here: white folks and people of color working together to decolonize ourselves and our relationships to the land–and to each other. We’re excited to support a POC-only space at this event for the first time, and to invite other white Bloomers to engage in thoughtful conversations and share skills for decentering whiteness. Specific people will be available to mediate hard or awkward moments that may arise for anyone, as we work to support a more just and sustainable future BLOOMing for us all.

What’s a Silent Dance party? A new way to turn up the volume and raise the roof without disturbing the blissful peace of the forest at sundown. DJ sets will be broadcast over radio, so dancers can rock-out on headphones with DJ Grei.
We’ll also have a bonfire and welcome folks to play acoustic music together around the fire.
Food & Drink available by donation, and we invite dishes and snacks to share.
