Abigail Jennings shared insights into two tree species found on the Machpelah site, connecting the landscape’s natural features to the broader history of the chapel and its surroundings. Beginning with the flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), which is also North Carolina’s state flower, she pointed out a beautiful mature dogwood blooming on the site. She explained the ecological and historical significance of this native species, from its use by Native Americans to its surprising medicinal applications during the Civil War. Abigail also shared that the name “dogwood” is derived from “dagwood,” referring to the tree’s early use for crafting daggers, arrows, and skewers due to its exceptionally dense and durable wood. Abigail’s also recognized the Chinaberry Tree, Melia azedarach, a deciduous species belonging to the mahogany family, Meliaceae, and pointed out a pair of notable specimens growing beside the Machpelah Cemetery. This tree is not a native species, but was planted in the early 1800’s, and unfortunately has become invasive in our region. Also known as the "Bead Tree," it earned this nickname because its hard, grooved seeds were traditionally used to make rosary beads before the invention of plastic. Another name for the tree is the "Soap Tree," named by backwoods settlers who mashed the yellow fruits in water to create a cleansing bath for washing clothes when real soap wasn't available. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1774985930133-2TAOYF1XLK4Q054YLDES/IMG_7895.JPG Blog - HEARTS United to Save Brevard’s Chapel Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1774986057222-CXK6LUT1T4M5K0HTOTGW/IMG_7997.JPG Blog - HEARTS United to Save Brevard’s Chapel Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1774986012212-35YOF46X3AKLTYRUYGHE/IMG_7963.JPG Blog - HEARTS United to Save Brevard’s Chapel Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1774986183108-QIF48ZYM4CT5K7GXBX7H/IMG_8014.JPG Blog - HEARTS United to Save Brevard’s Chapel Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1774986306885-6NKTF77WDA6WKH2B2BP7/IMG_8116.JPG Blog - HEARTS United to Save Brevard’s Chapel Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/d17ed38c-a4b1-4883-849a-d6ae80cc8e7f/IMG_8157.JPG Blog - HEARTS United to Save Brevard’s Chapel Recap Following the dance, guests were seated for a farm-to-table, Southern gourmet dinner by the Carolina Farm Trust with a menu introduction by Chef Ryan Forte’, who shared the local sources for each ingredient and how every part of the food is utilized in various preparations in their “no waste” approach. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/31476df4-2704-4cdc-8735-0eec5dc4f5da/IMG_8202.JPG Blog - HEARTS United to Save Brevard’s Chapel Recap - “Who is Henry Brevard?” Andre asked. Henry Brevard, a formerly enslaved blacksmith whose vision and labor helped establish Brevard’s Chapel. “Within a decade of the Civil War’s end, he did something extraordinary. In 1874, Henry Brevard purchased 90 acres of Lincoln County land in his own name. Land was power. Land was protection. Land was possibility.” Kearns described how Henry and his wife Susan sold a portion of that land to the trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1885. “Brevard’s Chapel embodied what the Black church has always represented in America, a place where Black Americans could be treated with the respect and dignity they always deserved, but rarely received.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/f398262d-e387-4276-9766-c63bfca58a48/IMG_8233.JPG Blog - HEARTS United to Save Brevard’s Chapel Recap - Kearns emphasized the chapel’s role as a gathering place for worship, community, and celebration, a sacred space of dignity and resilience. Reflecting on the challenges of preservation, Kearns noted, “If we allow it to disappear, we are consenting to selective memory… Supporting Brevard’s Chapel is a bold declaration that Reconstruction was not a footnote.” He called on the audience to consider their role in preserving this history: “Tonight, we must decide what kind of ancestors we will be. Will we be the generation that let Brevard’s Chapel be reduced to rubble, or will we be the generation that says, No - this place matters, this man matters, this legacy matters, this memory will stand.’” Kearns concluded with a powerful affirmation: “As long as South Brevard Street stands, Brevard’s Chapel must stand. This place, this man, this memory must stand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/d5dfdf2f-3b56-43b3-ba0c-67208e7f6113/Hearts%2Bcircle%2Bfinal.png Blog - HEARTS United to Save Brevard’s Chapel Recap - A heartfelt thank you to our guests, sponsors, volunteers, and all of our HEARTS Circle members who made this special event possible, helping us move closer to our goal to Save Brevard’s Chapel.

They explained that the shamrock of the British Isles is the same shamrock that grows in our lawns in North Carolina. Aaron explained, “As you might guess, it came from Ireland and the rest of the European subcontinent… The early colonists brought it over for a number of different reasons, soil stabilization, livestock feed, and as a good pollinator source for the honeybees they introduced.” He also shared the benefits to the soil to keep white clover in your lawn for the natural benefits of nitrogen. Abigail added a seasonal reminder, smiling, “Do not be fooled. The true shamrocks growing around us are white clover. What they sell in the grocery store is oxalis; it is not a shamrock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/39cdb507-5ee5-4800-a518-e686ab939487/IMG_6884.png Blog - HEARTS Irish Connections ‘26: A Sharpe Focus Recap - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1774453188786-8407N5IRNF1ADOS1N5B0/IMG_6761.JPG Blog - HEARTS Irish Connections ‘26: A Sharpe Focus Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1774453280834-9CQ2XJE9VK6M46OYU5VC/IMG_6960.JPG Blog - HEARTS Irish Connections ‘26: A Sharpe Focus Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1774453379685-SD82BQ5A7LUZKPFA3OAV/IMG_6982.JPG Blog - HEARTS Irish Connections ‘26: A Sharpe Focus Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1774895132261-IJ432KTTOUVJ8KWVOCAV/IMG_7108.JPG Blog - HEARTS Irish Connections ‘26: A Sharpe Focus Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/975bcbe2-ea60-4b8a-a8ef-907d962d9884/Mothers+Day+Event.jpg Blog - HEARTS Irish Connections ‘26: A Sharpe Focus Recap - Before intermission, Randolph acknowledged sponsors, volunteers, and staff.

He also highlighted the Sharpe family’s role in the Revolutionary era, noting the importance of backcountry battles such as King’s Mountain and Guilford Courthouse. “At Guilford Courthouse, we actually won the battle,” he remarked, “but another such victory would have ruined the British army.” Dr. Dussek concluded his keynote by following the family into the 19th century, when Silas Alexander Sharpe completed the home that is now the Historic Sharpe House and later became Statesville’s first mayor. Reflecting on the broader story, he observed, “The Scots-Irish sort of disappear into the fabric of America, they become America.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/bb91be73-448e-43ef-b978-62e4362d93f9/HEARTS%2BLogo%2Btransparent.webp Blog - HEARTS Irish Connections ‘26: A Sharpe Focus Recap - Thank you to everyone who joined us, and everyone who made this event possible: our volunteers, HEARTS Circle Members, and our 2026 presenting sponsors, Lake Norman Realty and blueharbor bank, and to all who made HEARTS Irish Connections ‘26: Sharpe Focus possible!

Since then, many connections have been explored and shared through the multi-faceted HEARTS Happenings. https://heartscollaborative.org/blog/heartsongs-26-the-power-of-love-recap monthly 0.5 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771272113563-ZKULTBETRQN13E4VKY2E/IMG_6508.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771272124572-4MFI6KUV3RCD65RS1H9M/IMG_6505.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771272419223-2KXDEUQUQGFR9YRX0ELP/IMG_7058.jpg Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771272426547-CE6S9ZLKKP4UYHVDW9NO/IMG_7060.jpg Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771272626635-DMMDMBXRKPYUCUMASNKB/IMG_6522.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771272626279-RPT94IF57NGD3MZFABSL/IMG_6528.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771272694535-Y7B3FYLMI3W7SAOOXX6W/IMG_6547.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771272877206-51S3JEPUM3DKCKXLDHH2/IMG_6585.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/c97d67f9-fa0c-47b6-8f2f-2df979071f03/IMG_6563.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Once Natasha and Jennifer concluded their first set together, our attention was quickly turned into movement. We had the pleasure of introducing Audrey Baran, founder and artistic director of the contemporary dance company, Baran Dance, to the stage to share insights on the featured performance, “Before I Forgot,” by dancers Sharon Dunson and Danielle Roman Curtis. “Before I Forgot” is a contemporary dance piece using physical motion to explore memory, longing, and the many faces love can have. The choreography, music, and the performers' movements spoke volumes throughout each gentle gesture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771271229234-WCK6MGWZ56SMUWNWDKVZ/IMG_6513.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771271245211-XNOIKV0W6665IGWELWCX/IMG_6471.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771271263717-LK44T4RXYV1GWP6ADXMQ/IMG_6488.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771271282762-D2VNG8JON0QZR35X2PVI/IMG_6491.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771271511816-8UILCBSD6PK31SLWKVT2/Tine%2BArtwork.png Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1771271469327-Q1SZWK7T08U1KKRKSX58/IMG_6515.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/fc76dee3-9ab1-44d1-a238-8e1eb5fecee1/IMG_6606.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Next invited to take the stage was Jonanne Rogers, back again at HEARTS as she is the founder and director for Nine Eighteen Nine Studio Gallery. Joanne reintroduced the gallery’s mission of supporting local artists and the importance of showcasing local artists across a vast range of visual mediums. She shared her deep appreciation with HEARTS, noting how closely that HEARTS programming aligns with her goals of community engagement and artist support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/f1d85b49-ace9-4e52-ab99-9837a5da4151/IMG_6611.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Next Joanne introduced Tina Alberni, who spoke about using bold, vibrant colors to draw attention to endangered animals and environmental dangers, encouraging audiences to think more critically about sustainability, consumption, and their role in protecting our precious planet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/58e18a20-1741-4ea3-9656-b2fb7c1b0e70/IMG_6621.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Then Ani Todd took the stage in describing her work as story-driven drawings centered around themes of love and human connection. Her pieces explored love in its many forms, romantic, familial, and divine, using narrative imagery to invite viewers into a larger emotional journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/6a92ca36-f3cb-4003-b45a-ed3cd83959ce/IMG_6601.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - One of the afternoon’s central moments came from the rich storytelling from actor and director Michael D. Connor. He gave the audience a compelling portrait of George Moses Horton’s life, from self-taught beginnings to poetic recognition on the UNC campus reminding everyone that Horton’s brilliance was lived, not just merely read about. Micheal got started with the impactful story of George Moses Horton, an enslaved North Carolina poet born in 1798 who “taught himself to read and write,” even though “his master would never free him.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/50999217-b347-401d-a358-2508a76ee803/IMG_6630.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Through excerpts from Poet: The Remarkable Story of George Moses Horton, Michael described how Horton learned by listening in on white children’s lessons, studying by the firelight, and then finding “beautiful poetry” whenever he could. Horton “loved words,” and began composing verses from memory while he worked out in the fields. Horton eventually got to the point to where he was selling his poems to students at UNC Chapel Hill, becoming “the first published poem in the south. Despite earning recognition and making some money, Micheal reminded us that Horton was “not free”. Even so that offers that abolitionists to purchase his freedom were refused. Horton continued his writings even through war, loss, and decades of further enslavement, until he was finally freed in his sixties. As Michael reflected, Horton’s story shows how “words made him strong,” how “words allowed him to dream,” and how, before his freedom, “words loosened the chains of bondage.” that kept him a slave.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/88331a5c-1bba-4ebd-8003-8533fc9c74b1/6-alberni-patchwork-sanctuary.JPEG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - After Micheal’s story on George Moses Horton, HEARTS highlighted its ongoing effort to save Brevard’s Chapel in Denver, a historic landmark currently at risk of demolition. The message was clear “losing the chapel is not an option”, because preserving it means preserving the stories of hope, and the history that is rooted within its walls of the community. So mark your calendars for March 28th to come see HEARTS United Gala, a place-based celebration featuring music, history, dance, dinner, and a rare opportunity to visit Machpelah Church, a Lincoln County landmark typically open only once a year. Tickets and table reservations available here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/360e858d-0a5d-43c9-8dff-c3a0426842cb/unnamed.jpg Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Our February Eco Minute, led by Abigail Jennings, grounded us in the history of nature at a time when winter quietly transitions its way to spring. Using Groundhog Day as a starting point, Abigail shared that although the first American Groundhog Day occured on February 2, 1887, similar traditions existed across Europe for centuries, using hedgehogs and badgers to predict the coming seasons. These practices trace back to the ancient Celtic festival known as Imbolc which occurs halfway between the winter solstice and spring equinox. Rather than focusing on what we see in nature, Imbolc honored what was still hidden beneath the surface: seeds underground, early sprouts, and the promise of growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/98ffdc7c-1062-445d-a65d-3f695cba1f82/unnamed+%281%29.jpg Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Abigail connected this symbolism to real-life wildlife patterns. February is both mating season and the “hunger gap,” when animals are more active, traveling farther for food and mates, and often crossing roads during early morning and dusk, making it the most dangerous month for wildlife. She encouraged simple ways to support local ecosystems, like avoiding pesticides and planting native, fruit-bearing species to help replace lost habitats. Her closing reminder was simple and powerful: February is one of the best months for wildlife watching. If we slow down and really look, we can see how much life is unfolding all around us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/7392872d-81ee-4c5a-afa5-2ea04911b1e5/IMG_6666.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - We then welcomed our poet laureate Junious “Jay” Ward who took the stage for his keynote. Junious “Jay” Ward shared a deeply personal reflection on why the life and legacy of George Moses Horton resonates with him on a deep rooted level. He explained that first he didn’t encounter Horton’s work until adulthood, and was struck by learning that Horton was “the first published North Carolina author of literature,” “the first African American to publish a book in the South,” and “the only slave to earn a significant income by selling poems.” Ward described the moment when he realized that Horton was actually born in the same county where he was raised, saying that discovery made it impossible to ignore “This very accomplished, important, notable poet was from where I’m from? Yeah, I have to learn more.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/af879a85-2fb4-4278-879d-b0e95862c923/IMG_6667.JPG Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Rather than solely focusing on Horton’s famous love poems, Ward framed his talk around the idea of agency as a path toward self-love. He defined agency as “the ability to choose for ourselves, to act as we choose, and to live independently of the desires or wishes of another,” and argued that even under enslavement, Horton consistently claimed this power through language. Reading from Horton’s 19th century poem “On Liberty and Slavery,” Ward emphasized how radical it was for an enslaved person to publicly declare “Am I born for this?…deprived of liberty?” At a time when enslaved people were said to be indifferent about freedom, Horton was openly insisting, “No, I want to be free.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/bf3da60d-16de-4a6a-8ea3-a47ea0717813/IMG_7069.jpg Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - After Junious “Jay” Ward’s remarkable keynote, our event concluded in the Pink Room, where Jay signed and sold out of his poetry books, “Composition” and “ Sing Me A Lesser Wound.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/7b35f8c9-4535-4adf-bb38-34fa00203b65/HEARTS%2BLogo%2Btransparent.webp Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Thank you to everyone who joined us, to those who made this event possible: our volunteers, HEARTS Circle Members, and our 2026 presenting sponsors, Lake Norman Realty and blueharbor bank, and to all who made HEARTSongs ‘26 a space where love carried through history, art, nature, and community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/9614415f-5a1c-4f80-93c9-2fe2a5eaa5e4/unnamed.jpg Blog - HEARTSongs 26: The Power of Love Recap - Next up, join HEARTS for our fifth annual Irish Connections, hosted at our newest Affiliate site, the Historic Sharpe House.

Our robust slate of HEARTS Happenings once again blended local history, art, and nature into captivating place-based programs, in and around Huntersville, with a nod to the fearless residents of our region and their incredible contributions to the American Revolution. Pictured right, David Fleming and Scott Syfert, featured speakers at HEARTS “Let Freedom Spring,” in May 2025, sharing Mecklenburg County’s Revolutionary leaders, live music, and “Creatures of the Springs” nature and art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1760192416678-GDFROA0RFEHUIY6DKODZ/Brevard%27s%2BChapel%281%29.jpeg Blog - The Year Ahead in HEARTS &nbsp; - Make it stand out The clock is ticking to save Brevard’s Chapel! You can help save this special place! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/7fb6207f-ebaa-4429-8659-ad4ff1b2eca0/Brevards_Chapel_3.jpg Blog - The Year Ahead in HEARTS &nbsp; - Don’t Let Our History Be Erased The most critical project for 2026 is saving Brevard’s Chapel in Lincoln County. Last February, it was announced that the chapel would be demolished. HEARTS in collaboration with many local organizations successfully brokered a pause in the demolition, but we must make progress toward the $650,000 goal, or our efforts will be lost. This is a real-time, tangible opportunity to save an iconic landmark in the Lake Norman/Charlotte region and create a sustainable historic destination for the Denver community in the future. For all of you who have ever felt a desire to preserve our special old places and the stories they hold, this is your chance. We’ve got six months to show significant progress. Please support this campaign; together we can do this!

Through a HEARTS committee led by our renowned HEARTS Reunion Project Co-chair, Andre’ Kearns, we now have a well-documented history of Henry Brevard, the freed Black man of Lincoln County who became a local blacksmith and gave the land to build the church. In addition, Andre’ published this compelling blog yesterday, From Enslaved Ironworker to Sacred Ground: Why Brevard’s Chapel Still Matters. We look forward to sharing more of this research with you at upcoming HEARTS happenings and at HEARTSCollaborative.org, as we continue our journey of exploring Brevard’s Chapel history. Pictured left, an illustration of a 19th-century African American blacksmith, representing the type of work Henry Brevard likely performed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/5e3643af-5cda-4c31-839a-98ffaff84274/Sharpe+House.jpg Blog - The Year Ahead in HEARTS &nbsp; - HEARTS Circle Members Are Making This Possible Did you know that as a HEARTS Circle Member, in 2026, your membership supports the operations of the historic Hugh Torrance House and Store, and many other new community initiatives?

Our December gathering centered on the arts, which is the “A” in HEARTS. Sharing stories, ecology, dance, and live music that touched on our theme of “winter wisdom.” A theme that asks us to slow down, to remember, to preserve, and to carry on the stories that get passed down through history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765395090216-WIT3JE1TATM5FE8SM0VD/IMG_6432.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765395166831-TUY5EZRXVTPZQBBBO33L/IMG_6358.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765484815117-FE31IF7Y8N4PKFY9PWQ8/IMG_6286.png Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765484849091-OLUY5SGWCP5QB3VVMK5W/IMG_6317.png Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765484890237-EV77NJWZH28E8DBRKJYV/IMG_6325.png Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/95f4f0da-851d-43e1-a190-88884ad0bae3/IMG_6337.png Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap After the powerful performance from Tamara Williams and her students, we welcomed Ramona Moore Big Eagle. She reminded us that “words can change the world,” and then showed us exactly how. In her telling of the creation story shared in her book, Turtle Island, she said that harmony and responsibility weren’t abstract ideas; they were lived truths. When Sky Woman fell through the world, it wasn’t strength or status that saved her, but cooperation and courage. As Ramona put it, when everyone else failed, “that little voice kept saying, ‘Let me do it.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/e7e9e291-3ea3-406a-916e-95c873a9e429/IMG_6352.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap In that moment, wisdom revealed itself not as knowledge stored on a shelf, but as action taken with the heart of belief, as she said, that “I can make a difference,” even when no one expects you to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/ffe9405a-e05b-4186-b417-b2a96da9de40/IMG_6370.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap - Yaupon holly, as Aaron explained, is one of the only native plants on this continent that gives an authentic caffeinated tea, a species long used and respected by the people who came before us. Hearing them describe how its flavor carries the character of the place where it grows made it suddenly feel less like a beverage and more like a conversation with the land. Beyond its story, yaupon has a few qualities that really set it apart, such as: Brews smooth and clean with naturally low tannins, meaning it has no bitterness. Offers a steady, balanced lift from its mix of caffeine and theobromine. Rich in antioxidants and long valued for focus, clarity, and ceremony. It can be re-steeped without losing its gentle flavor. Used in this region for centuries, with archaeological evidence dating back to around 1050 AD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/18077b95-684d-40b4-9bcd-98a48ac198a6/IMG_6254.png Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap Across the hall in the Pink Room, that conversation became something everyone could taste. Guests warmed their hands around cups of lightly spiced, gently sweetened mulled yaupon tea with enough spice to brighten it, not enough to hide it. In a program shaped by stories and memory, this little ecological lesson landed perfectly: pay attention. What we inherit is all around us, and sometimes all it takes to hear it is a cup in your hands and a moment to taste where you are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765396816983-SGAYLHW54HGZDFT0U5OI/IMG_6227.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765396916355-7RR4J0NI84W5ATRP1R9P/IMG_6275.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765396948531-2N19DABZ65U4BJ6HUSWF/IMG_6277.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765402446085-PFYQNATZJUB2YD5L5SK1/IMG_6417.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765402444995-5DUY4R7IC5BIY749BBUL/IMG_6419.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1765402468570-EDQKNF64V4FLVKC4BN8N/IMG_6422.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/ead4d4f6-ae5e-46d9-af81-a361aefe6b86/IMG_6378.png Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap Joanne, curator of Nine Eighteen Nine Studio Gallery, introduced the four artists featured in the current exhibit and invited two of them to share a little about their work that was on display. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/deadedfc-301e-4224-8898-27f1be184537/IMG_6386.png Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap Leigh B. Williams spoke about how inspiration follows her everywhere she goes in the form of small visual journals. One piece on display began as a quick garden sketch, later transformed into an acrylic diptych; another grew from a photograph of autumn light and became a vibrant alcohol-ink work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/3ae7a275-90d4-4e63-a20d-c5ca370aab19/IMG_6400.png Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap Doris Baharona reflected on what it means to paint from instinct, finally. For years, Doris felt drawn to specific colors and landscapes without knowing why, until going back to Patagonia revealed those same hues in the landscape itself. That discovery reminded her and all of us to trust the pull of what feels like home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1763652260568-56YC8WXGFNWO0XJ28WM2/1000015116+%281%29.jpg Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1763652273402-UEZBMWYGKI8COB9F70IE/image000000%281%29.jpg Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1be857e2-a710-4545-857d-dbfd11f6601d/IMG_6244.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap Following our artists' statements, Chris Simeral stepped up, winter wisdom arrived wrapped in laughter, and old memories. He told us about the Jack Tales his grandmother used to share, stories carried from Scots-Irish ancestors to Appalachia. Chris explained that these tales came to Appalachia with Scots-Irish families who carried their storytelling traditions across the ocean. Over time, the stories settled into the mountains and took on a local flavor, but the spirit stayed the same. At the center was always a boy named Jack who always tried to dodge hard work as best as he could by talking his way out of trouble, and yet somehow proved he had more heart and grit than anyone expected. As for Chris, the magic wasn’t just in the stories themselves, but in how they lived inside families. His grandmother shared them from memory, keeping a piece of that Scots-Irish heritage alive with every telling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/73c0c1ca-1bba-49ef-a2da-9d542b706792/IMG_6406.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap But as Chris spoke, it became clear the real lesson wasn’t in the magic at all. It was the fact that “Jack kept going,” Chris told us, and you could feel it in the room: that steady, almost ordinary courage to try again, to care for the people beside you, to meet whatever blows through your door with whatever strength you have to give. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/dd344ea0-874c-4cb3-99ab-231e79e10758/IMG_6429.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap Mistletoe, as Abigail and Aaron reminded us, is anything but ornamental in its native landscape. It is a natural winter resource when little else is blooming, a source of berries for birds, a small engine of life hanging where you might otherwise miss it entirely. Mistletoe is a hemiparasite, meaning it taps into tree branches for water and nutrients while still photosynthesizing on its own. It looks delicate, but it’s tough, thriving high in the canopy when the rest of the forest has gone still. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/d2067ad9-ffac-4997-b4ce-c64fe089592e/IMG_6246.JPG Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap Bee Jay pressed gently on the importance of value, the kind denied to her ancestors, and the kind society still warps today. “Everybody has value,” she reminded the room. “And you don’t want to put a dollar sign on your value.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/d5dfdf2f-3b56-43b3-ba0c-67208e7f6113/Hearts%2Bcircle%2Bfinal.png Blog - HEARTS Winter Wisdom ‘25 Recap Thank you to all our guests who joined us for HEARTS Winter Wisdom’25.

The honeybee is, of course, NC’s state insect, and honeybees have been part of this area’s agricultural history for centuries. Honeybees and hives are first mentioned in NC court records around 1700, and beekeeping was a common practice on farms big and small by 1800. The value of bee products was so well recognized that colonists could pay their taxes in beeswax in mid-18th-century NC. NC was a leading producer of beeswax and honey during the 19th century. However, honeybees are responsible for something else even more valuable than honey, beeswax, and other products of the hive: pollination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1762972352507-AJ6A1IH9VESC852KZ9M4/IMG_6104.JPG Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1762972131544-S9EL8AMVKZQXLACDLD30/IMG_6139.JPG Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1762972081847-99LQJ15G0C0XJFBAIZGD/IMG_6077.JPG Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1762972184848-9V69KISY7ULHKLFLMH20/IMG_6187.JPG Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1762972154606-3V10WQFHU5ENYAIMVX6O/IMG_6185.JPG Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1763138354292-BK3TKHEB2YD9Z11UP41Q/IMG_6190.webp Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1763138456082-8VAL6UBXMR12JOU8CK4C/IMG_7034.jpg Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1763138480597-PIX5XN95XZ4OX5VDJN90/Stumptown+milk+parlor.jpg Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1763138466866-HOHCYNRF7SAGL0WO3VYZ/Davidson-Concord+Bradford+Milk+Parlor.jpg Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1762794977766-H27QZPIKSPDDDKJQ0R62/IMG_6206.JPG Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1762795123021-JRESPJEC9XM9HGS6RSM8/IMG_6196.JPG Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1762795052951-OCAZGCV1IKGEEXWTQBQB/IMG_6117.JPG Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/a234d8a4-87a8-4e76-9d08-26847033c5f9/IMG_6198.JPG Blog - Recap of HEARTS Harvest ‘25 - Milk &amp; Honey: A Celebration of Land and Legacy - Executive Chef Ryan Forte from CFT followed with a zero-waste culinary demonstration, showing how every part of an animal can serve a purpose—bones for broth, fat for tallow, skin for chips, scraps for compost.

The act of creating has always brought her joy. She was raised in the home of her great-grandmother, Bertha Harris, who passed down cultural traditions through heartfelt kitchen table conversations. Amanda began making art on a small wooden board and continues that journey today, crafting both traditional pottery and contemporary works. She hopes to blend her passion for jewelry and pottery into a unique and meaningful collection. Along the way, she has been guided by her mother, Karen Scruggs, who carries her own wealth of knowledge in traditional arts such as basket weaving and pottery. Amanda proudly embraces her heritage and is dedicated to passing these traditions on to her children, keeping her culture alive for future generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1759673491705-RXEJDV183L87LO6UADCF/Catawba+Nation+5+-+Copy.jpg Blog - HEARTS Catawba Nation ‘25 - 10/18/25 at Cedar Grove https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1759673559273-T5FVNGZIMIXC46YBYNIT/Catawba+Nation+24+2+-+Copy.jpg Blog - HEARTS Catawba Nation ‘25 - 10/18/25 at Cedar Grove https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1759673532273-BODQ66SCO86H39TOZAY6/Catawba+Nation+24+3+-+Copy.jpg Blog - HEARTS Catawba Nation ‘25 - 10/18/25 at Cedar Grove https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/a39bee6a-1acd-4c00-9d8c-f16bb96351f4/HEARTS%2BLogo%2Btransparent%2B%281%29.png Blog - HEARTS Catawba Nation ‘25 - 10/18/25 at Cedar Grove - Join HEARTS and Together We’ll Make It Happen Designed to inspire and enhance our community’s shared sense of place, HEARTS Happenings are grass-roots events known for juxtaposing regional history and ecology with curated local music, visual art, and dance in multi-faceted, place-based programs.

The haunting imagery and thoughtful storytelling left a lasting impression about legacy, reconciliation, and the echoes of the past in our present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1739641688857-Z2OTE1ESJEI797R2D84R/Cedar+Grove+gala+night.jpg Blog - August HEARTS, Art &amp; Film Review, and Gala Preview - HEARTS Circle Members’ Gala Looking ahead, we hope you can join us for this annual HEARTS highlight held in September each year, celebrating all the people who make HEARTS possible.

These partners recently removed the late 20th-century layers inside the chapel, revealing the incredible historic interior. We've also held a recent community meeting with congregation members and their descendants, listening to their memories and hopes for the future of Brevard's Chapel. This provided invaluable insight to connect the important history of this building with its future. A scope of work and budget are the next steps currently in the works. We will keep you updated on this important project. Thank you to our community supporters and for the ongoing collaboration of HEARTS, Lincoln Landmarks, Lincoln County Historical Association, Preservation NC, Preserve Mecklenburg, Lincoln County Historic Commission, and the United Methodist Church to save historic Brevard’s Chapel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1748693091930-PK2132AWPDCYSJQLWU5G/image0045.jpg Blog - HEARTS Happenings &amp; Updates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1748693017468-TFIGYM9RF5Q8IQ9ME6I9/image007+%282%29.jpg Blog - HEARTS Happenings &amp; Updates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1748693029222-A2XQZXPUTU2ZSBNTZFM2/image003+%282%29.jpg Blog - HEARTS Happenings &amp; Updates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1748693037829-WCDDT3LI1RG8UOZDWMKG/IMG_2752.jpg Blog - HEARTS Happenings &amp; Updates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/4cd02797-44e4-43e7-a04d-ad724ede2fd2/IMG_7973.jpg Blog - HEARTS Happenings &amp; Updates - In the Garden A new feature between Cedar Grove and the Hugh Torance House and Store is shaping up thanks to the leadership of Aaron Kampe and the creation of a new garden utilizing Cedar Grove’s historic boxwoods. This garden is being created as a special place for meditation and contemplation in memory of all descendants who once lived on this land. The ancient boxwoods have been ignored and neglected until recently. Upon closer inspection, the boxwoods were dated to be over 200 years old. Covered in mats of poison ivy and briars, the boxwoods are currently being rehabilitated. The pruning style for the boxwoods is called cloud pruning. This soft, billowy style stirs the imagination and is accented with anchor plantings of blue Italian cypress and native perennial pollinator plants. The completed garden will also include a custom handcrafted bench made from the recently fallen Easter Red Cedar on Cedar Grove's front lawn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1748700186330-NXTRB9FQ4SO5Z4YNKN1O/IMG_7987.jpg Blog - HEARTS Happenings &amp; Updates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1748700215690-NKR1O8MJP4D3HLVPMNVD/IMG_7967.jpg Blog - HEARTS Happenings &amp; Updates https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/7d7cd37d-5e73-4319-9462-1a12ee205731/Hearts+circle+final.jpg Blog - HEARTS Happenings &amp; Updates - Join HEARTS and Let’s Do More Together HEARTS brings the magic of our region to life, weaving threads of history, nature, and art into a beautiful tapestry of places, people, and pieces throughout time.

Syfert’s book, The First Declaration of Independence? The Disputed History of the Mecklenburg Declaration of May 20, 1775, is the product of ten years of research and thought about the story, the controversy, and its impact on Charlotte’s history. According to Ken Burns, “Scott Syfert rescues and then brings vividly to life a little-known story of our Revolutionary past and the urgent need by our ancestors for freedom.” British military historian Andrew Roberts writes, “This book is one of the finest pieces of historical detective work I’ve ever read. Scott Syfert is the Sherlock Holmes of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/3db1d825-cdbf-45b7-aca5-ea573b619cb1/Art+contest+logo.png Blog - HEARTS: Let Freedom Spring - Art and Nature As always, ecology and the arts are intertwined with history at HEARTS happenings.

Back then, it is believed it consisted of a one-room log cabin nestled alongside a spur of the Great Wagon Road. Today, the lovingly restored structure, including the two-story Federal addition, is one of our region's most significant historic sites, known for its creative, place-based HEARTS programming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/1736447390819-NMWYKJF2MJ8SBLNUKMZY/Cooking+Demo+photo+1+-+HTHS+c_o+HEARTS.jpg Blog - Travel with HEARTS to May 1775&nbsp;</span> - Enjoy Hands-On History Join us on Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 2:00-5:00, for HEARTS May 1775: a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence at the Hugh Torance House and Store.

The story of Mrs. McDowell’s famous ride has largely faded from memory, but we look forward to bringing her revolutionary contributions back to light through a narrative of courage. Join us for a presentation by noted historian Dr. Hugh Dussek, who will recount her tale alongside other significant events from Mecklenburg County’s revolutionary history. Note: This image is not Jane Parks McDowell due to the absence of known likenesses of Jane, despite her remarkable acts of heroism. This young woman is from an unknown 18th-century painting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/fa85d87b-294c-4ef2-a985-b667bd32329c/moss.jpg Blog - You’re Invited to HEARTS Irish Connections ‘25: Jane’s Famous Ride</span> - March with Moss March in the garden highlights moss, nature’s ideal ground cover.

In concert, Eure and Osborne seamlessly change from one instrument to the next, swirling together fiddles, banjos, bodhrán, mandolins, guitars, and rousing vocal harmonies. No Depression Magazine said of Tom and Amelia’s first album together, “The Coin The Prayer and The Crow comes off as the result of a genuine artist pouring old wine into new bottles and making listeners believe.” As artists, multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and activists, Tom and Amelia strive to paint a fresh picture, uplifting and always starting from a place of love. www.tomeure.com In addition to their music, they will also present a Crankie. Crankies are an enchanting form of Folk Art storytelling with roots back to the 1800s. Crankies use long scrolls of art wound on two spools. As the spools are "cranked" the story comes to life, often with the help of shadow puppets. Amelia creates the art and shadow puppets, Tom builds the Crankie boxes and spools. Combine that with their music, precision timing, and a bit of whimsey, audiences are treated to a journey that offers a magical escape from the real world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/0f36192e-e2af-47a5-b94a-cfa2b6b205f5/145008%7E2.jpeg Blog - You’re Invited to HEARTS Irish Connections ‘25: Jane’s Famous Ride</span> - Unspoken Poetry The visual art exhibit “Unspoken Poetry” is on display in the Center Hall of Cedar Grove. In partnership with Nine Eighteen Nine Gallery, HEARTS presents the works of John R. Miles, III and Sloane Siobhan. Both artists present large-scale diptychs that silently share poetry in visual terms. The artworks are conduits of the artists’ feelings and expressions, offering thoughtful unspoken dialogue to the viewer. Surrounding the large paintings, is a selection of mixed-media black and white collages from Trey's "America Gentrified" series which won an award for "Best Exhibit" in Charlotte in 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669aa35024a5d661be7170e0/e775d8e2-0271-434d-aeff-b166e1e080ab/Hearts%2Bcircle%2Bfinal.jpg Blog - You’re Invited to HEARTS Irish Connections ‘25: Jane’s Famous Ride</span> - About HEARTS The HEARTS Collaborative (aka HEARTS) is a comprehensive nonprofit regional source of collaboration and connectivity for the community of historic sites and buildings, trails and nature, churches and burial grounds, visual and performing arts, research, archives, and artifacts.
