Inhabiting Landscape is a series of workshops and walking tours created by Leslie Ruckman in partnership with the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, the Greene Land Trust, and Scenic Hudson. Located at the Mawignack Preserve in the town of Catskill, NY, the series explores the many ways in which landscapes are dynamic reflections of their inhabitants. Landscapes are made and remade by relationships between living creatures, natural, and unnatural forces.
While we most often appreciate landscapes for their visual beauty on the whole, there are a host of other dimensions we might consider. To inhabit a landscape is to be amongst it, experiencing with your full being. Each workshop will focus on an often overlooked dimension of landscape – soggy, smelly, or airborne. The goal is to provide participants with tools to attune to their surroundings and deepen their relation to place.
This will be a workshop with plants including a walking tour and weaving with mugwort and native plants.
