Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre (MACC) is a community arts centre that provides a space for intercultural connections, a gathering place for the community and an opportunity for everyone to experience and participate in the arts. At MACC, we believe that the arts enrich and strengthen community life.
Check out below some of our new Spring 2023 programs starting in April!

Following your Gut (12+ yrs)
Alisha Lettman
Moberly Medicine Garden is a native medicinal plant garden that also grows a wealth of cultural foods from Indian, Asian, and Caribbean lands. We’ll take a plant walk to learn the cultural foods growing in the garden, and their use in different communities. We’ll learn digestive herbs that support discernment, self knowledge, and embodiment. We will cover calendula, chamomile, and mint, and make digestive bitters. As always, work in the garden will follow the workshop.

Moberly Garden ProgramsSpring Flowers – Gardening with the Moon Phases II
Laura Cisneros
You don’t have to be an astronomer to test your green thumb with moon-phase gardening. Even the more complicated structure of a bio dynamic method is as easy as working with a daily calendar. Share some time in the garden: learn from the flowers, offer your reciprocity, listen to the birds, and plant some flowers.
