Spotlight on the Art & Beautification Team
Say HI! to Shantel
The Nippur Community welcomes Shantel Geren as our Art and Beautification Team Leader! She has been beautifying this place for years with just her smile but now it’s all business. She has planted hundreds, yes hundreds! of bulbs and her hard work is already paying off.
She also has big plans for the Art Team, from big installations to painted rocks. You are going to be amazed! She is currently building her team, so if you love to create amazing things, hit her up on facebook https://www.facebook.com/shantel.geren



Our Events
Since 2000, Nippur has been building community through hosting events that honor ancestral traditions. The events have grown bigger and better over the years. Today, Nippur Retreat hosts events celebrating Ostara, Beltane and abundance as well as smaller events celebrating the quarters and other cross-quarters.
These gatherings are crucial in building community.
