Community Work & Play Day

First Sunday of every month • RSVP requested • All are welcome

Join us for a morning of tending, mending, and grounding in the rhythm of shared work at Rootstock. Community Work & Play Day is a monthly invitation to gather in service and joy, roll up our sleeves, care for the land, and deepen our connection to this place and one another. Many hands have built this beautiful temple, and many hands are needed to continue stewarding it with love and intention.

Arrival & Flow

• Potluck breakfast from 8-9:30am
• Work project from 9:45-12:00pm

Each month we gather around a seasonal project — stacking wood, preparing gardens, shoveling snow, refreshing shared spaces, or whatever the land calls for. Kids are welcome and all skills and capacities are welcome and invited but thank you for leaving your four-legged at home.  Rootstock is a dog-free campus.

This is less about getting things done and more about practicing how we care for what sustains us. After a couple hours of working together, Rootstock feels more tended, and we do too — nourished by the rhythm of shared effort, connection, and joy. Every offering of energy matters: strong backs, steady hands, cheerful hearts, or simply a willingness to show up and participate in community.

What to Bring

• A water bottle and weather-appropriate layers (we gather rain, snow, or shine)

• Work gloves if you have them

• Optional offerings for the Community Cabin — tea, chocolate, or beeswax candles

• Simple snacks or finger foods to enjoy or share (no heating or utensils, please)
