Earthdance Garden 2nd Sunday Community Work Day


Come get your hands in the soil…then jam!

Hosted by Neal and Shosei, come connect with the Earthdance community. Learn about sustainable gardening, share in the abundance, help us continue building and maintaining the Earthdance garden vision.

All are welcome! Tasks may include a wide range of typical garden tasks: bed making, planting, weeding, compost turning, harvesting. No tools necessary, just you in outdoor workwear willing to work and get a little dirty!

One of the most important resources that a garden makes available for use, is the gardener’s own body. A garden gives the body the dignity of working in its own support”. – Wendell Berry

Earthdance Garden Crew

Neal Wecker

After acquiring an undergraduate philosophy degree, Neal spent the next 20 years growing a family and organic farm in Ithaca NY.  Finding “the good life” and remaining connected to nature in a rapidly urbanizing and industrializing society felt imperative to explore and express.  Then, after 10 years living and working as a sex and intimacy educator in Europe, Neal arrived at Earthdance in the spring of 2022. He is happy to be back exploring the mission of Creative Living at Earthdance as the gardener in service. He views his role of creating and maintaining a productive garden as supportive and aligned with both Earthdance’s mission and charm.  


Shosei (Tamara)

Shosei (Tamara) came to Earthdance in September 2023 as a work exchanger and while exploring alternative lifestyles. While work exchanging and working remotely, she shadowed and assisted Neal in the Earthdance garden for the past seasons. Both being in the garden and living at Earthdance have offered Shosei respite from the burnout of a healthcare practice and inspired her in the way of alternative and complimentary future dreams of service. She continues to enjoy the teachings of the garden and its master gardener, Neal.
