Susty Social (Makers Swap & Seed Saving) - Autumn Equinox Celebration

​Celebrate the autumn equinox with us at Bang Brewing in Saint Paul on Thursday, September 24th, from 6:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.! ​As the light balances and the season begins to turn, join us for a creative, community-centered gathering to honor the seasonal shift, reconnect with the land and one another, and share in the gift economy.

​🌱 Seed collection facilitated by the MN Seed Project in Bang Brewing's native prairie garden

​📽 Step into the Story Stream Trailer by Minnesota Upstream to reflect and record your own nature story

​💐 Gather outside and enjoy sustainably brewed beers from Bang

​💌 Participate in a Maker's Market & Swap with Gifting Grove! Bring 5-10 handmade items to share with the community in exchange for another handmade gift. This could include beaded necklaces, soap bars, sewn pot holders, seed packets, artwork, and more — anything created with care is welcome. (Registration IS required to participate in the makers swap, but not needed to come have a beer and save seeds).

​Please bring your item(s) to the designated drop-off table between 6:00 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. The community swap will begin at 7:00 p.m. Participants will be invited to choose the same number of handmade gifts as they contributed! Ideas are linked here.

​This event is free to attend and open to all. Donations are welcome to support Gifting Grove! Come solo or with friends to save seeds, share stories, and welcome in the new season in community.

​This event is part of Gifting Grove’s month-long programming in celebration of the Community Exhibition of Regenerative Creativity. Through gatherings, conversations, and creative experiences, we invite our community to reflect on how we create, share, and offer our gifts in ways that nourish both people and planet.
