Upcoming Events
Sacred Writing Circle: Renewal & Awakening
Usher in the Spring Equinox with a Sacred Writing Circle on renewal and awakening. In this inclusive and generative gathering, we will accompany each other as we explore ourselves and our aspirations through guided meditations and creative writing exercises. Participants will leave with original, written pieces around the following questions: What are the seeds you've been tending to throughout the dark of winter? What do you hope will blossom this spring? And how do you embrace the beauty and dynamism of this viridescent season?
This Sacred Writing Circle is facilitated by Gianluca Avanzato, a writer, artist, musician, and teacher from Oneonta, New York who holds a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School and a Diploma in Interreligious Studies. In his work, including 1:1 creativity coaching, Gianluca emphasizes process over product, transformation over transaction, and fluidity over forcefulness.
Everyone is welcome: no religious/spiritual affiliation nor creative writing experience necessary. A warm welcome to LGBTQIA+ folks as well as those who have felt left out or cast out by traditional religious institutions.

Spring Seed Starting Workshop and Seed Swap with AC & Isaac Hill
Both a gardening workshop with an interactive demonstration and a seed swap, this is a perfect chance to welcome in spring and get your fingers in the dirt. In this workshop you will learn the fundamentals of seed starting and get a chance to see, feel and experience the process. The goal is for everybody to understand the different requirements that different seeds have for germination, so that when you read the directions on a seed packet, you know exactly what that seed needs to thrive. Different seeds require different soil mediums, light, temperature, depth of planting, as well as stratification, different kinds of scarification, and timing. We'll start some seeds together in class. If you have seeds to share, bring them for the seed swap. While this class will cover a lot of the basics, we welcome seasoned gardeners to join in on the discussion of plants and the seed swapping (as we love to do). Tiny envelopes and markers to label will be provided for the seed swap.
AC & Isaac Hill are a husband and wife duo with a long love of plants. AC is an herbalist, farmer, and teacher, and Isaac is a permaculturist, gardener, astrologer and writer, and they live together on a small herb farm in West Edmeston, NY about 25 minutes from the Gatehouse. They co-host the Plant Cunning Podcast where they have interviewed some of the most influential herbalists, permaculturists, foragers, and spiritual practitioners in the world. They host an in-person conference at their farm July 24-26, 2026 called the Plant Cunning Conference as well as periodic plant walks, classes and a four day Herb Camp Aug 8-11th, 2026.

Lumen Printing with Jenny Riffle
Explore the intersection of art and nature in this hands-on workshop with photographer Jenny Riffle. Using sunlight, photo paper, and found natural materials—like leaves and flowers—guests will create lumen prints: unique botanical studies that reveal the delicate shapes of the natural world.
This process is entirely darkroom- and chemical-free. Instead of a traditional fixer, each participant’s work will be scanned to preserve the images. Everyone will leave with their own scanned files and digital print capturing the quiet beauty of nature’s impressions.
Jenny Riffle is a fine art photographer whose work explores myth, memory, and the passage of time through richly detailed, narrative imagery. A graduate of Bard College and the School of Visual Arts, her photographs have been exhibited internationally and featured in publications including WIRED, The Guardian, The New York Times, Telegraph Magazine, Glamour, and VICE.
Riffle’s practice often reflects her deep attention to the natural world and the poetry found in the everyday. She lives and works in central New York.
$35 per person, price includes one print made during class, any addition prints $10 each, please feel free to bring any plants, leaves, flowers you would like to try in the lumen printing process or you may use some we will provide.

Book Study hosted by the Catskill Regional Teacher Center
Join area teachers in a discussion on the impact of race in our schools and communities, based on the book Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? Dr. Waid will lead a conversation on how to navigate difficult discussions with students, families, and community members in a five sessions series starting Saturday April 18th through Saturday May 16th.
Teachers may contact the Catskill Regional Teacher Center to request a copy of the book. Non-teaching participants are asked to obtain their own copies.
About the book:
Tatum examines how racial identity develops for Black, White, and other students, and how those developmental processes shape peer groups, classroom climate, and academic engagement. She argues that avoiding conversations about race does not reduce tension; it prevents us from understanding our students' lived realities and from interrupting patterns of inequity in schools.
What participants will do:
Read and discuss selected chapters using guided protocols and reflection questions.
Explore how racial identity and systemic racism show up in daily school life (curriculum, discipline, relationships, expectations).
Examine current practices through an equity lens and identify barriers and opportunities for change.
Develop at least one actionable step to strengthen safety, connection, and voice for students across racial and ethnic groups.
Why this learning matters:
Patterns of self-segregation, opportunity gaps, and racialized outcomes remain a reality in schools across the country. This study offers research, language, and tools to help educators respond with courage and skill, moving beyond silence or defensiveness toward more intentional, identity-affirming practice.
About the facilitator:
Dr. Nicole Waid of SUNY Oneonta brings experience in teacher education and equity-focused practice and will support participants in creating a brave space for dialogue. She will model strategies for facilitating difficult conversations that educators can adapt for their own classrooms, teams, and communities.

The Gatehouse Open Mic - Songs of Solidarity
Join us for a special evening of live music, poetry, comedy, and more, hosted by the one and only Khalil Jade! Performers can sign up when they arrive (first-come, first-served). We are encouraging people to share songs and poems of peace, resistance and messages that feel relevant to this time... as always all voices will be welcomed. All of our unique voices are truly what make this community so strong.
Khalil will be leading us in community songs from Singing Resistance. Singing Resistance is building a mass movement of singers to protect and care for our communities in the face of rising authoritarianism. Grounded in love, nonviolence, and solidarity. Song is an antidote to fear, to help us connect to each other, and it is through song that we can name and protect what we hold sacred. Singing Resistance is a loving entry point for many people, including those who are new to social movements and activism. We welcome everyone into the movement for collective liberation. We are fighting for a future in which all people - Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrant, trans, queer, disabled, poor - are safe and treated equally and humanely.

Realizing Abstraction: Seeing, Thinking, Making
This four-week course invites students into the expansive world of abstract art—exploring abstraction not only as a visual language, but as a way of thinking, feeling, and responding to the world.
Fridays, February 13 – March 6
4:00–6:30 PM
The class meets at The Butternut Valley Arts & Crafts Center and each class begins with a slide-based visual lecture, followed by guided discussion and hands-on studio work. Together, we’ll look at pivotal moments in the history of abstraction and the artists who broke from representation to follow intuition, structure, emotion, chance, and material truth—using history as inspiration, not instruction.
Weekly Themes
• Week 1: Early Abstraction — Hilma af Klint, Kandinsky, Cubism
• Week 2: The Absurd, Sex & Dreams — Dada & Surrealism
• Week 3: Art as Act — Abstract Expressionism & gesture
• Week 4: Minimal & Hard Edge — Structure, systems, restraint
Studio Practice
Students will work with accessible materials including graphite, charcoal, ink, and collage. Exercises emphasize experimentation, risk-taking, and developing a personal relationship to abstraction beyond style. All materials are included.
Who This Class Is For
Open to beginners and experienced artists alike. No prior art history knowledge required—just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.
What You’ll Gain
• A broader understanding of abstraction
• New tools for non-representational drawing and image-making
• Increased confidence in intuitive, exploratory work
• A body of experimental studies rooted in history and personal exploration
Ticket Pricing
$225 per student
Includes all four classes (10 hours total), visual lectures, guided studio instruction, and all materials provided.
Optional Early Bird: $200 when registered by [2/1/26]
Reserve your spot online or in person at the café. Space is limited and this class is expected to sell out—advance registration is strongly recommended.
