Oil drives us.  Water makes us.  There’s no way getting around the importance of the two.  And that they don’t mix.  Let’s study together the long history of our petroleum based economy, the current administration, issues of sustainability and a little Upton Sinclair.  Each day will begin with a coffee jumpstart and include an optional teatime roundtable discussion,  leaving ample time for personal work and reflection.  Come as an expert or a novice- to learn independently or to delve into a research project/ writing assignment.

What doesn’t mix.  Disparate politics.  The past and future economies.  Liquid money vs. liquid life.  Energy.  Espresso.  The Chevron Effect.  The Fracking question.  Standing Rock.

Everyone will be asked to bring one thing to the table to further the conversation- a piece of media, article, excerpt of book, personal work or activity related to the subject.  A week long salon.

Each participant will have a private room with work space, use of kitchen and access to 29 acres for walks and reflection.  Includes daily breakfast with Irving Farm coffee, assorted teas, house muesli, breads, butter & jam.  $350.

The pulse.  The ebb and flow.  Grassroots and tree roots.  Sewers and subways.  The ideas that remain/ the enduring themes beneath the changing fashions.   As a Trump presidency looms, fear and fascism are coming out of the woodwork. But so is the bedrock of collective action, solidarity and the reckoning of true US histories.  Join us for this residency session on our social undercurrents. 

Frame Work weeks begin with a group dinner provided by Holes in the Wall and end with a group sharing of the week’s reflections and/or work.  Each participant will have a private room with work space, use of kitchen and access to 29 acres for walks and reflection.  $250
