Refund Policy
· All class ticket sales are considered a donation to Fox Haven and help us to fulfill our mission. Full refunds (minus a 20% processing fee) will be given to any participant canceling at least 30 days prior to the scheduled class date. Due to the nature of full series commitments, no refunds will be processed once the series has started.
· Enrollment cannot be transferred to another class. If you are within the 30-day cancellation period, it is best to request a refund and sign up for the desired replacement.
Active Hope: Community Book Discussion with Paulette Harvey
Join us this winter for a cozy and inspiring community book discussion of Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re in Without Going Crazy by Joanna Macy and Chris Johnstone.
In a time of ecological and social uncertainty, Active Hope offers a guide for finding strength and resilience amid global challenges. Rather than a passive feeling, active hope is a practice—a way of consciously choosing how we respond to the crises of our world. Through storytelling, reflection, and practical exercises, the authors invite readers to reconnect with their sense of purpose, community, and the power of collective action.
Together, we’ll move through the book’s teachings slowly and intentionally, creating space for shared reflection, meaningful conversation, and gentle integration. No prior reading before the first meeting is required—just bring your curiosity and an open heart.
Gathering in Chestnut House with a roaring fire and tea at Fox Haven Farm, or online in case of inclement weather.

About LandBack Tax
From 2022 onward, Fox Haven will donate $2 from each event ticket to the Piscataway Conoy Tribe to pay LandBack tax, acknowledging our access to stolen Indigenous land. Through Piscataway Eyes is an Indigenous-led initiative working to restore ancestral land and sovereignty to the Piscataway and other Indigenous communities of the Chesapeake.
Weather Policy
If inclement weather is predicted ahead of an event, you will be notified 48 hours before the event date about any cancellation or rescheduling. Otherwise, the event is presumed to take place rain or shine. An alternative venue may be arranged if shelter is required. Please note that refunds are not provided for postponed events or no-shows. However, if Fox Haven cancels, a full refund will be issued.
