Drop in with plant intelligence through Rose tea as we presence with the green beings of the historic site of Black Mountain College. We will listen to sensations from the flavor of Rose as embodied communication from this plant, helping us to honor the intelligence of our own bodies and this long-revered sacred plant. We will be in conversation with rose through vocalizations inspired by the sensations of flavor. Western science externalized instruments of perception. With Music Gardening, we honor our own bodies as instruments for learning with the Earth. This practice of inner empiricism is ancient, and it is also a thread that artists such as John Cage and Pauline Oliveros of Black Mountain College explored in their own practices. As someone who was born into a lineage that forgot how to connect deeply with the Earth hundreds of years ago, I view artists from Black Mountain College as vital lineage-holders in an ongoing process of reconnection and remembrance. I view this practice as one aspect of repair for the ongoing harms caused by my ancestors’ disconnection from loving relationship with the Earth and our fellow humans.
