Patrick Lawler - A Poetry Reading
2023-11-17 19:00 - 21:00
Presented by Doubly Mad — https://doublymad.org/ |
Patrick Lawler is the author of The Exhalation Therapist/Breathe a Wor(l)d (Tiger Bark Press, 2022) as well as six other books of poetry, and two books of fiction. “Lawler has been one of CNY’s most acclaimed poets for nearly four decades…His poetry blends autobiography and social commentary with philosophical and theoretical conceps in innovative ways, yet his work remains accessible and often downright funny. Over the years, it has become common knowledge that no poet should dare to follow a Patrick Lawler reading, and now we in Utica have an opportunity to see why! This will be a premier poetry event — DON’T MISS IT!” — Thomas Townsley

Herbal Study Group --- Fire Cider Making Workshop
2023-12-06 18:30 - 20:30
This month Hillary-Joy Ptoniak will lead an instructional workshop on
making Fire cider.
This will be a hands-on workshop where participants will make their own
batch of Fire Cider to take home. A glass pint jar and all ingredients
needed to make the Fire Cider will be provided. Workshop fee is $25 to
cover the cost of the supplies.
(*Note: If you would like to attend the workshop just to learn and NOT
make the Fire Cider, you are more than welcome to join us. We just ask
that you make a small donation to help us pay for the use of the space
at The Other Side)
_“What is Fire Cider anyway?” you might ask…_
Fire Cider is an incredible immune system booster. It combines apple
cider vinegar, citrus fruits, peppers, herbs and honey, which when
fermented, creates a ‘fiery’ and flavorful concoction that can be
used in various ways to support digestion and immune system health.
A note from Hillary-Joy:
For those of you who don’t know me, I am a botanist and certified
herbalist with a huge passion for wild and fermented foods! Fire Cider
is one of my favorite things to make this time of year as we move into
the dormant cycle of winter, a time when our bodies need extra little
extra nourishment to keep us healthy. Thus, I am excited to be leading
this month’s Herbal Study Group so we can make some Fire Cider
together. Hope to see you there!
