Dirt forms the body from which all life springs, and to which all life returns when it dies. Dirt feeds the people, dirt creates the crossroads, dirt cradles our dead. Dirt remembers.

Humans have long honored our sacred relationship with soil. While this relationship has manifested in countless enchanting ways, today we’ll focus on the magic of dirt in holding space for grief and other challenging emotions, through the alchemical unfolding of witnessing, transformation, and rebirth.

Included are tales of the creation of the first human, burial mounds, and the awakening of the Buddha.
