Nature for folks embracing masculine, feminine and beyond
May the odds be ever in your nature
District 12 - don't be fugly. Be futch. PS: You were never meant to volunteer as tribute.
You were only supposed to avoid the poison ivy and reconnect with nature.
Join Abundance World's April Futch Walk Club -- who will emerge as wiser and more connected to Mother Earth herself?
Only time will tell -- along with Katniss Evergreen (aka your guide, Frankie Edwards).
This April, Abundance World takes you on a quest to remember your great softness.
All the while learning about plant identification, nature's cycles, mindfulness, and belonging.
This is a 4-week futch walk club starting April 8th.
Moss queen couture, babe. Bring your plaid AND your pride.
For: For femmes, butches, trans masc and trans femmes. If you resonate with being futch, you're in.
Location: High Park, Toronto (exact location revealed after sign up)
When: 6-7:30pm on Wednesdays in April, starting April 8th
Accessibility: We will be moving from paved roads in High Park to dirt paths through the woods with lots of stops in between. Pace will be slow-moderate. The terrain there (especially in Spring) can be uneven and wet. Bring appropriate gear. Walks will go ahead rain or shine.
Nature Walks are $20/walk.
You commit to all 4 walks in advance since there is plant curriculum that builds on each week.
Payment is split so that you can FUTCH NOW - PAY LATER (pay half up front / half at the end).
Guided by nature nut, Katniss Evergreen (futch era bio below).
Come meet us in High Park on Wednesdays 6:30pm in April:
- April 8
- April 15
- April 22
- April 29

Week 2 we will continue to build our knowledge of ephemerals. Bloodroot is a common one we may spot in High Park. All the while, learning the principle of non-doing, otherwise known as being.

Originally called "Dutchman's Breeches", these bulging cuties could do with a new name. Week 4 we'll deepen our work, our hope, and our belonging so we can refresh & shift into summer 2026!
As a guidance counsellor, I can apply these techniques myself every day, and also introduce them to my students, so everyone can be more futch.
Curtis, "a dabbler" in mindfulness experience
While walking in nature, I had shivers down my spine, as if my futch was awakening!
Lisa, 1 yr mindfulness experience
Be prepared to feel FUTCH again!
Jessica, 0 yrs mindfulness experience
I look like a bro but I care like a femme. I'm happy with the futch that resides within me now.

We are in a global time of disruption, delusion and contrasts.
It is now extra important to nurture your connection to hope, whimsy, authenticity, discernment, and community.
There are many of us who fall between the cracks of gender categorization - neither man nor woman, or feeling sometimes a grand mixture of both traits and beyond!
