"Ethical symbiosis with the land as a form/system of Elven magic: Being able not only to sense what is there, but communicating with it to determine how best to proceed. Working *with* our environments and not against them, creating a symbiosis that is more awake and alive than the sum of its parts."
Will this workshop be incorporated into the stuff we've just been talking about, or is that a separate thing altogether?
Here's what I've gleaned from what we just talked about:
"If we want to bring what is "out there" more in line with us, harmoniously one hopes, we need to work with it. And as we generally want to live in healthier environments ('cause they ain't) that means getting down and dirty with natural systems. As mundane as it sounds, soil is a wonderfully complex system, a living system. This means that it isn't purely "physical" either, that it does have rich energetics there as well. In order for us to better understand how we can shift the system, we have to work 'with' the system. This is one of the ways we manifest as go-betweens with the natural environment. "Go-betweens with the natural environment" is what various forms of fae are, after all - they dance between elements, and underly the interactions in nature... Encouraging life to flourish rather than beating it into one's own image or using it up. This is a workshop that explores this concept (includes guided meditation). Bring a seed to plant by the Cairn."
I'm probably describing a really long workshop in the above paragraph (a presentation, a meditation and a planting) but they tie in a lot... Describing what is going on, meditating with the seed (or or mushroom spawn) and sensing its interactions, and then planting the seed/spawn near the Cairn. I can get some edible mushroom spawn from Fungi Perfecti. You may want to decide how long you want to spend with the workshop(s) and decide what you want to include from these description and/or how you want to change them.

I'll leave the refining part to you...
