Come to 2nd Saturdays @ the G.I.F.T.

enjoying that food, partnering to green-up urban ecology and the local economy, building a broader network in the neighborhood and among like-minded Austinites, providing food resources for those of lesser privilege or means, making new friends from all walks of life, spending time just enjoying the outdoors in a safe place and all of the magic that offers, breathing fresh and feeling the sunlight on my skin after spending the weekdays in front of my computer, marveling at the cycles of life in a garden in all of its glorious stages, bonding with strangers over shared food and “sustainable” leisure, composting and making new life, getting to know some plants and insects and chickens and tres and water cycles, revitalizing the church’s buildings and campus in various ways, having a beer, sharing deep thoughts and light-hearted laughs with our team on the reg, putting gratitude for our fellow humans and the biosphere we live in into a community-building / personal-nourishment / pleasure-payoff practice, doing some heavy lifting, getting "dirty” in the soils and scratchy from mingling with the vegetation, grounding ourselves in “primary reality”, exercising the process and collaboration with people and “the more than human world,” opening up new possibilities for regenerative urbanism, having fun… brightening our own lives and helping the greater good however we can. “It’s a mustard seed,” as Dr. Rev. Stephen Kinney says.
