We morph the piazza into the village ball. If you are not dressed, get gussied up for a fancy pants jazzy procession to the East River. We use self made instruments to create a union of harmonic flow fly flu to the water. There we honor the water stewards that have passed and throw spent shells in to create an oyster reef.
The purpose of our waterway procession is to bring awareness into the community of our connection to the water and better understanding of how we can be empowered with this information and individually be a part of our environment. MoS activities, like making the mudballs and saving oyster shells to be tossed into the river to help revitalize the waterway. Oysters and mudballs are bioremediators! We procession back to the oasis of paradise for a circle of gratitude and closing remarks.

The first Mudball Ball, in 2012, started as a way to make waterway revitalizing Mud Balls for Figment Project Weekend. The Stockpile of Beneficial Mud balls year 1. We made mud balls and ball gowns in garden while eating oysters, learning how to redesign for a healing regenerative life by making beneficial mud balls, and eating oysters. We purified water — a spiral of betterment making.
In 2013 The MBB grew into detoxing not only water but air, water and soil plus detox of self.

Formerly this garden was a truck garage and toxic empty lots next to a public school. Organizers organized many lots to combine and declare this property “eminent domain”. Then turned it into a community garden with the help of Gaia institute. There will be an audio tour available of the history hosted by www.596Acres.org.
Now this frolicking garden paradise has vegetables, fruit trees and a medicinal herb garden by JK and Marie, a nest-like tree-house by Roderick. Now people shed their city vibes after one step inside this garden.
The Gaia Institute Paul Mankiewicz worked with a team and made the chemical cap and a water retaining swale system that catches all the rain hitting the land and the near by roofs. Paul comes to the MBBall if you have questions about his work.
