Enter in silence. Exchange your phone for a rock, a small bone, or a cactus node. This event isn’t to “share”. It’s not a class, not quite a performance. It’s 10 strangers building a replica compost pile until it hums. Worms slip out of cracked bones, a mystery tea gets poured (no one asked what was in it), and someone found a clump of hair. On the table: a charcuterie board of rot—apple cores collapsing, bread half-fuzzed with mold, alive, fruit skin surrendering to bugs. Hands plunged into a steaming pile of earth, hot and alive, breath rising like prayer smoke. Soil was sniffed, passed hand to hand, and read like an oracle. Laughter, shivers, something like awe. The Worm Choir is now retired from public notifications. The only way to enter for free is by finding one of the 10 who were there. Ask them for the code. The next choir will only gather through word of mouth, through the soil’s own network. This is a social experiment as much as a ritual—introducing compost not through math and ratios, but through participation, sensation, and a lens of care, decay, and renewal. It’s dirt-sniffing as a nervous system reset. Scraps becoming chant, microbes becoming choir. An initiation into the slow, strange music under our feet. Join when you’re ready to stop scrolling and start decomposing. https://www.thevelveteenbean.com/events/bagged-trucked-sterilized-how-compost-lost-its-magic monthly 0.5 2025-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c34f317a9a271c9286781d/9c8fe8dd-b76d-4861-aef8-0f2b5b097c33/IMG_4714.jpeg Events - Bagged, Trucked, Sterilized: How Compost Lost Its Magic - Make it stand out image by https://lydiadaniller.com/ https://www.thevelveteenbean.com/events/what-is-a-plant-libraryand-how-to-start-one monthly 0.5 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c34f317a9a271c9286781d/6987546e-2a73-4367-9be1-37d4c968eccd/IMG_3087.jpg Events - What Is a Plant Library…and How to Start One - Make it stand out sweet & simple https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c34f317a9a271c9286781d/6da11c4a-b954-486e-802a-0d0aec28a3f3/IMG_3012.jpeg Events - What Is a Plant Library…and How to Start One - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thevelveteenbean.com/events/cactus-rehab monthly 0.5 2025-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c34f317a9a271c9286781d/359060fa-e499-418c-8762-9c1b62ea2aeb/cactus+rehab.png Events - Cactus Rehab - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c34f317a9a271c9286781d/7184a917-f3e7-42fb-af44-174998a69a73/IMG_3417.jpeg Events - Cactus Rehab - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thevelveteenbean.com/events/from-coffee-to-compost-free-resources-for-better-soil monthly 0.5 2025-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c34f317a9a271c9286781d/9bb3251b-2600-44c6-b575-8e2358137c98/IMG_3297.jpeg Events - From Coffee to Compost: Free Resources for Better Soil - Make it stand out Go ask a roastery for these awesome bags with endless garden uses, you might have to dig around in their trash : ) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c34f317a9a271c9286781d/0017eacc-4543-4ac4-b816-784532f08525/IMG_3229.jpeg Events - From Coffee to Compost: Free Resources for Better Soil - Make it stand out Bags are being used as a mini greenhouse to keep Lion’s Mane mushrooms hydrated https://www.thevelveteenbean.com/events/brew-your-own-nitrogen-booster-byo-weeds monthly 0.5 2025-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c34f317a9a271c9286781d/aaf68644-b8bd-4964-92b6-e23e7279dc2b/IMG_3071.jpeg Events - Brew Your Own Nitrogen Booster (BYO Weeds)" - Make it stand out Oxalis and cleavers are chopped with a string trimmer (optional) to get ready for brewing.
