Our Next Event: June Zoom Meeting

Monday, June 9, 2025, at 6 pm ET

A highlight of this meeting will be a presentation by an absolutely wonderful speaker, Deb Soule – founder of the local (Rockport) business, Avena Botanicals, which makes herbal products using organic, biodynamic, and regenerative growing practices. Deb will tell us about “The Herbal Hummingbird Hub,” which is a land-based classroom and sanctuary on the Avena Botanicals property, dedicated to education around nature and healing, biodiversity enhancement for pollinators, cultural heritage and diversity, and well-being for people and all species.

We encourage as many of you as possible to join the meeting! This should be an uplifting and inspiring kick-off to the summer, and emblematic of all that W.E.B.B. seeks to embrace: interconnections across our ecosystems, integration of nature and culture, building sustainable local businesses and economies, and contributions to climate resilience through education and on-the-ground actions.

Please join us!
