Dear Humans,
We, members of the Green Space ship, are a collective of inter-galactic plants traveling through time and space to Modern Art for our first ever earth-based arts residency at the Museum of the Living Worker. With the help of human friends Libby Modern, Mary Schroeder and Jenny Schulder, we will be creating a natural world to help you humans tap into the subtle healing vibrations of our life. We feel you need it! During the week, you’ll be able to drop in to Dance with Plants ™*, Lounge and drink Plant Chai, Draw with Plants ™, Write with Plants™ Commune with Plants, and more…..stay tuned for a full catalog. We help you by chilling you the f&*% out (in this case), and you help us, by spreading the great word of plants all around world: that we are not the mute immobile furniture of your world, but rather protagonists in our own dramas, highly skilled in the ways of contending in nature. Capish?
With Love,
Nephrolepis Exaltata, Dracaena, and Spathiphyllum (Curators at Large)

*We are attempting to Trade Mark a few of our great intellectual properties. We tried to patent our DNA, but Monsanto already laid claim over these and we are currently tied up in Litigation.

Wednesday: 7:00 - 8:30 Think with Plants
People often ask me, do plants believe in God? Do plants pray? Do plants go to heaven when they die? "Of course not!," I say. "There from outer space!" But the guidance that plants provide is profound, nonetheless. They impart lessons that are neither religious, nor secular, nor spiritual. Join John Modern for an immersive evening of sound ideas about how plants think about us and how we might better think about them.

Thursday: 6-8:00pm Communicate with Plants
with Jen Frey
Jen Frey is a Healer, Mentor, Earth Advocate and Voice of the Plants. She is the Founder of Heart Springs Sanctuary, where she helps people deepen their connection with Nature through Plant communicationHumans have an innate ability to communicate with Plants, though we have mostly forgotten how to do this. In this fun and informative workshop, we will begin to remember how to communicate with the Plants as we once did intuitively. Plant communication enhances our well being, offers solutions, guides us on our soul’s path and helps us deepen our relationship with nature.

Friday: 5:00 - 7:00pm Happy Plant Hour
