Hello!
My name is Christine and I serve as Director of Development & Marketing at Siena Retreat Center in Racine, Wisconsin. Siena Retreat Center is a welcoming community that provides retreats and programs to renew lives and deepen holistic spirituality in in order
to be a catalyst for a more just and compassionate world.
We’re hosting an upcoming virtual program that may be of interest to your community, and we’d be grateful if you could share it with your networks or consider attending:
🌿 Going Wild: Repopulating Your Garden with Native Plants
🌿
Facilitated by Brandon Gross, President of Wild Ones Root River Chapter.
https://www.sienaretreatcenter.org/retreats/going-wild/
Thursday, November 6, 2025 | 6:00–7:30pm (CT)
Offered virtually via Zoom
Cost: $25
Join a growing movement in gardening by “going wild” — adding native pollinator plants to your property and learning how to do it in any living arrangement. Explore which native species thrive in Southeast Wisconsin and Northeast Illinois, and
how to establish them from seed or plug.
A flyer with full details is attached. We would be grateful if you would share it with your members, neighbors, or anyone interested in supporting native plant life and biodiversity in our region!
We also have a
Facebook event for the retreat, if you would like to share that way!
You may also be interested in another virtual retreat coming up next March: Restoring Relationships and Land: An Ojibwe Discussion of Kinship and Worldview,
a Zoom presentation with Dr. Mark Freeland that explores Ojibwe concepts of kinship and relationality and how those ideas can help restore our relationship with the land.
