This is a FREE event, but we ask that you consider financially supporting our work.
No matter what age or gender, stewarding the strength and flexibility of your body is of utmost importance – especially when living an active life with daily work on the farm or homestead, in the garden, around the house, and beyond. Yet even with an active lifestyle physical fitness is not always a given. Throwing your back out, pulling a muscle, or suffering from repetitive use injuries can happen to us all. But what if we could more actively cultivate a stronger, fitter body?
Join us Tuesday, July 15 (6-8pm) at Mountain Run Farm for a community potluck and skillshare with Amber Lyssy, farmer and physical fitness specialist. Amber will be sharing key practices and tips for optimizing your physical fitness through intentional movement, holistic nutrition, and more. Men and women, young and old, will benefit from Amber’s insights and expertise. Don’t miss it!
