SUMMARY:Slow Circuits: Wire Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Are you fatigued by your phone? Are you wary of technology’s impact on our ecosystems? \nOn July 25th\, Slow Circuits is hosting a weaving circle where we will discuss our conflicted relationship with technology as we weave with discarded ethernet cables. Think technology anonymous meets weaving circle. Each participant will create and take home their own woven art piece. \nBy weaving with the discarded remnants of our digital lives\, this tactile engagement follows a discussion around our current circuits: where our technology comes from\, its lifecycles\, and its afterlives. By slowing down and contemplating these relationships\, we will make visible the material and ecological costs inherent in our technologies in order to discuss the circuits we desire. We’ll ask: how can we build alternative models to planned obsolescence? How can technology reconnect us to what we care about? How can we turn waste into a medium of connection and care? \nGet your tickets now. Learn more about Slow Circuits on Instagram: @slow.circuits \nThis workshop is part of our Reuse and Re-Imagine Series – A new series of workshops designed to empower our community with new skills while keeping waste out of landfills.\nFunding provided by the Environmental Protection Fund as administered by NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. \nSign Up → \n

SUMMARY:City of Water Day: Coastal Connections at Pier 42
DESCRIPTION:The focus of this year’s activities\, aligned with the theme of Living with Water\, is to recognize our shared responsibility to steward the environmental systems that sustain us. Pier 42\, like all urban green spaces\, requires ongoing care and maintenance to remain both an enjoyable public park and a fully functioning climate resiliency system. We believe that the more people understand these ecosystems—and the plants and wildlife that inhabit them—the more motivated they will be to protect them. For this year’s City of Water Day\, our team will lead a walking tour of Pier 42\, highlighting its green infrastructure and coastal resilience features\, while also introducing participants to the native plants that can be observed throughout the park. The walk will be followed by stewarding the bioswale. \nSign up →

SUMMARY:Trees & Self-Care Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The 90-minute workshop will be hands-on experience with natural products. The objective is to enable participants to explore the connection between nature and skincare — and by referring to our natural environment in the Lower East Side. \nLed by Kadidja Kabore Lamport\, a local small business owner\, participants will learn and discuss the benefits of all-natural\, tree-derived ingredients like shea butter\, baobab oil\, and kukui oil\, as well as beeswax. I will also present the local trees that have been sources of oils — like linden\, the eastern red cedar\, the black walnut\, sweet birch and white pine; some are right here in our neighborhood\, particularly linden. \nParticipants will then learn the traditional techniques of melting\, blending\, and infusing the raw materials in the workshop (shea butter\, beeswax and baobab oil) with essential oils to create high-quality\, clean beauty products. We will discuss why “simple and effective” is the best approach for both our bodies and the environment. \nWhat Participants Will Take Home:\nEach participant will leave with one handcrafted\, all-natural product — a lip balm — and a sample of a soothing herbal footbath. \n\nCustomized Lip Balm: Formulated with natural oils and essential oils for long-lasting moisture\, and beeswax.\nSoothing Footbath: Formulated with herbs and salts.\nA Natural Beauty Recipe Card: To empower participants to recreate these natural remedies at home.\n\nSign up → \n

SUMMARY:Community Clothing Swap
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community clothing swap—refresh your wardrobe for spring while reducing textile waste and connecting with your neighbors. Together\, we can keep perfectly good clothing out of landfills\, share what we already have\, and remember that collectively\, we have more than enough to go around. \nBring clean\, gently used clothing that no longer serves you—whether it no longer fits or just doesn’t spark joy—and exchange it for something new-to-you. For every item you contribute\, you’ll receive one token (up to 15 total)\, which can be used to “shop” the swap. \nClothing contributions can be dropped off at the Center for Wellbeing and Happiness on Saturday May 9 between 10:30am and 4:30pm or on Tuesday May 12 between 2:00 and 5:00pm. \nRegistration is encouraged but not required. \nThis workshop is part of our Reuse and Re-Imagine Series – A new series of workshops designed to empower our community with new skills while keeping waste out of landfills. \nFunding provided by the Environmental Protection Fund as administered by NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.\n\nSign up
