We hosted our first foraging field trip with the people of Takigahara in summer 2024, and have plans to run them by season so we can experience different things growing in the ground and the sea. 

Coming up in 2025, we have programs scheduled for spring and winter. Four of the 16 guests from our pilot program in 2024 have reapplied to join us again this year, which we are honoured by: not only as it means they had a beautiful time with us, but also because it highlights the very spirit we are seeking to encourage – building long-term connections to place and growing a community that transcends borders.

So as to give new people the opportunity to experience Takigahara, our dear program repeaters will be coming back to assist us as co-hosts/kitchen hands rather than attending as paying guests.

Astray is a storytelling project centred on travel, community, identity and liberation.

We’re based out of Lenapehoking / New York City: the homeland of the Lenape. Specifically, we’re in Manhattan: a name that comes from Mannahatta, meaning “island of many hills”. As grateful guests in this city, we recognize the strength and resilience of the Lenape, and extend our reverence to all Indigenous peoples everywhere. This acknowledgement comes from our commitment to working against the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism.
