Spinnin Poi
Hello Friends of the Farm!
We will be offering FREE Poi Spinning workshops at the garden in the upcoming weeks. We can accommodate about 5 (or more) people for a workshop and they will run for 45 minutes. The cost is FREE, but donations of $5 per person to benefit the garden will be kindly accepted.
The workshops will only run if there is enough community interest so we please ask you to RSVP (as soon as possible) and let us which day works best for you:
~ Wednesday, August 12th, 6:30 - 7:30p
~ Thursday, August 20th, 6:30 - 7:30p
The Ancient art form of Poi combines sacred geometry, dance and dexterity to create a form of play that is good for the mind body and spirit. Poi spinning is enjoyed worldwide as a hobby, exercise, or performance art. Poi dancers may be found performing alongside jugglers, staff spinners, and other similar performers.
Release Your Creative Energy!
