The Beginnings That Occur at the End: The Cyclical Nature of Life on the Farm
Presented by Meredith Massey

What can a farm during harvest teach us about new beginnings? As we welcome Mabon and the autumnal equinox, we reflect on how beginnings are quietly woven into endings within the cycles of agricultural life. Through the wisdom of the land, livestock, shifting seasons, and passing generations, we consider how what we complete today lays the essential foundation for what comes next.
