Cœur d'épinette
Cœur d'épinette
The name is inspired by the verse "A cactus flower in a spruce heart" by poet Geneviève Desrosiers. It reminds us that possibilities often emerge from the most unexpected situations.

The project
Cœur d'épinette weaves together collective experiences promoting connection to urban nature through the arts, promenades and eco-conferences. Inspired by engaged pedagogy, forest schools and numerous artists and writers, the workshops and artworks encourage individuals and communities to find their own path and take action for a more just world where living together is met with enthusiasm and joy.

« On reconnaît ici sa voix singulière, attentive au vivant, aux plantes et aux gestes de soin, mais aussi à la mémoire des femmes qui ont façonné des lieux... Les Incorporelles fait entendre une voix unique : une prose qui pense, qui regarde, qui cueille. »
— Sarah-Louise Pelletier-Morin, Le Devoir
An intimate approach to a social practice
I see the Cœur d'épinette project as an action-research project that takes shape through creations, collaborations, and moments of sharing with people of all ages and backgrounds. It is an intimate approach deployed in a social practice that draws on the unique connections woven between communities and their environment.

« Le regard que Pattie O'Green porte sur notre manière d’habiter le monde est unique. Elle appelle une présence consciente et un esprit critique. Une douceur et une révolte.
