House with toxic mold

Story & Experience

Shahar

I went to a workshop with Fran Weinbaum on “Radical Joy for Hard Times” at the Village Building Convergence outside of Brookfield, VT recently. She encouraged us to make an object from the natural materials provided (or otherwise!) for a place that we would like to offer healing for, which we could go to in the next few days. 

So—I made a wreath out of a grape vine with a turkey feather attached & put it in the backyard of a close friend of mine who’s been having terrible toxic mold-related health problems & has had to give up living in her house in Northfield (10 miles south of Montpelier) due to her basement being flooded by tropical storm Irene a year. ago. Then I took a picture of it, as Fran instructed us to do; I think it’s sweet that these pink flowers are growing there, despite the toxic mold which is escaping into the air around her house!
