Story & Experience
For our second year, our Global Earth Exchange brought together members of Lynda’s longstanding Active Hope group and family and friends inspired by Radical Joy’s ethos and practice, to observe the Summer Solstice with new eyes. Beginning with a quiet wander and poetry, remembrances and stories, we created our gift for the Buffalo River, engaged in a ritual of collective release and intention-setting, and celebrated our time together with a picnic in the meadow at Silo City.

Why this Place?
The Lyceum at Silo City
The city of Buffalo’s location on the Great Lakes made it a shipping hub for grain between the mid-1800’s and the 1960’s, with nearly 50 grain elevators lining the Outer Harbor and the Buffalo River at its peak. Since the decline of shipping and manufacturing in Buffalo, ongoing efforts are helping restore health to this meandering waterway, once part of a vast coastal wetland. We came to give thanks to the Buffalo River for its former service to industry and to honor its persistence in expressing its natural beauty.
