Join us for our second Full Moon Salon featuring For The Wild on the Slow Earth Companion book tour, joined by contributor and artist brontë velez.

Slow Earth Companion: Rooted Wayfinding in Fragmentary Times is an anthology gathered from more than a decade of listening and long-form conversation through For The Wild. It brings together essays, poetry, prayer, and artwork from voices including Tyson Yunkaporta, Bayo Akomolafe, brontë velez, Patricia Kaishian, Jacqueline Suskin, adrienne maree brown, Antonia Estela Perez, and Jarod K. Anderson, among many others, with original hand-drawn artwork by Krista Dragomer throughout.

Created as a companion to return to over time, the book explores relationship, land, kinship, belonging, and ecological intimacy. This gathering offers space to come together around these themes through conversation, reflection, and shared inquiry, practicing a deeper relationship with the living world and the places we call home.

For The Wild is a slow media studio dedicated to land-based protection, co-liberation, and intersectional storytelling. We are rooted in a paradigm shift away from human supremacy, endless growth, and consumerism. As we dream towards a world of grounded justice and reciprocity, our work highlights impactful stories and deeply-felt meaning making as balms for these times.

brontë velez (they/elle) is a black-boricua transdisciplinary ritual artist, shepherd, minister and cultural worker. brontë’s ministry is committed to re-ecologizing the roots of pastoral care — as shepherds who paid attention to the earth, followed the wisdom of their rhythms and patterns and through that devotional awareness received prophetic instructions for liberation.

Herbal Tea will be available in the Tea House from 2pm-6pm

What is a Salon?

Salons are vibrant local gatherings for exploring ideas. Creative and intellectual salons were once stewarded by French salonnières, hostesses who offered safe spaces to debate ideas and incubate new works. Often surrounding literature, philosophy, art and politics outside of state or church control.

Rooted in our local community, while carrying the spirit of the original salons, we are co-creating these salons to inspire generative connections and tend to a restorative revolution.
