Support The Village through one of our amazing Businesses.
The Other Side Arrangements
Our arrangement business gives our Neighbors a chance to step back from their story and process pieces of it in a different way. As those of us who work in the dirt know, caring for plants and soil is itself therapeutic. But the real beauty of the arrangement process is that it’s also an outlet for self-expression – a nonverbal way to approach parts of our past that have been especially painful or scary and interpret them in a new light. To make sense of trauma and loss that many of us tried to bury because we didn’t have the space or safety or energy to deal with it at the time.
Taking these experiences and turning them into something beautiful is an act of intense bravery and vulnerability, which is what you are getting when you adopt an arrangement from The Other Side Village.
