The process of making maple syrup allows us to fully enter our bodies and wake up to the process of coming online with all our senses.  Collecting buckets of sap and adding them to the barrel, engineering the fire and experiencing the mist of maple-infused water vapor, and tasting the richness of sweet maple syrup after we boil off all that water–all these and more are fun experiences we will go through together during this week. Breathe in the wonder of the earth coming alive in springtime! We will also share maple-inspired food, discuss some powerful writing from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass, and delight in the process of receiving a profound gift from our trees. For those who want to learn how to make their own maple syrup, this is a great way to learn.
