Hominy Workshop
Sunday, September 25, 2022 • 10am – 12:30pm • Cost: $45 • Wild Hudson Valley, 408 Lake Mills Rd, Cairo • Did you know that corn is much more nutritious if it has been nixtamalized (made into hominy)? Native people throughout the Americas have known about this process for millennia, and in the Hudson Valley, indigenous cooks would process much of their corn with lye made of water and hardwood ashes. The end product, called hulled corn or hominy, is also more flavorful because of the ashes, and is higher in vitamin B3 and in calcium. Today, Lenape people continue to process corn with the same methods in their communities in Ontario, Wisconsin and Oklahoma. We learned how to hull corn in 2015 on a visit to the Moraviantown Reserve in Ontario – a community comprised of native people whose ancestors came from throughout the Hudson and Delaware Valleys. Join us for a workshop on hominy making with our recently-harvested flour corn! Participants will be taken through the process, step by step, and get to try traditional hominy. • wildhudsonvalley.com/event-details/hominy-workshop
Fall Forest Bathing Walk
Sunday, September 25, 2022 • 10am • Clermont State Historic Site • Join Cultured Forest for an hour of guided Spring Forest Bathing at Clermont State Historic Site. Forest Bathing is based on a Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku that involves connecting with nature by “Bathing in the Forest Atmosphere”. Studies show time in nature lowers blood pressure, boosts immunity and reduces stress. In this activity, you will indulge with fellow nature lovers in relaxing mindfulness and self-care in a guided outdoor class. Plan to see some of the most peaceful areas of the park, while learning activities that allow you to better connect with yourself and the outdoors. Leave feeling centered and more at peace. Learn how to bring mindfulness in nature into your personal wellness routine. The session ends with a tea ceremony. Please Note: This will require about a mile of hiking with some stairs and walking up and down steep inclines and over rocks. Please be sure to wear comfortable shoes with tread that can walk over rocks and grass. There will not be a bathroom break during the session, but restrooms are available at the park. Attendees must be 8 years or older. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Admission is $5. Meet in Main Parking Lot. • Register Here
