NOURISHED LIFE: an Afternoon on the Land

A half-day experience at Mirella Rose Farm

Come spend an afternoon being nourished by the land, by nature, and by community.

Life can get pretty busy. Sometimes we need a little space to slow down, get outside, breathe deeply and remember the simple things that make us feel good.

That's what I want to create with A Nourished Life.

You take care of others all the time. Today I’m going to take care of you.

We'll spend time moving our bodies, enjoying the land, noticing what's growing, harvesting what is ready, eating seasonal food, creating and connecting with one another.

Some of the details will unfold naturally depending on what's happening on the land when we gather. That's part of what I love about working with the seasons. We don't always get to decide what is ready. We get to pay attention and work with what's there.

And you'll create something during our time together that you'll be able to take home and enjoy afterwards.

WHY THIS, AND WHY NOW?

Because this season won't be here for long.

October is such a beautiful time on the land. The garden is giving us its last gifts before winter, the harvest is happening, and everything is beginning to shift.

I don't want us to always be waiting for the "right time" to slow down, connect with nature or enjoy what is right in front of us.

I want us to experience it while it's here.

This is the only A Nourished Life Retreat I'm offering this fall, so there won't be another opportunity later this season to experience Mirella Rose Farm in quite this way.

The harvest will change. The garden will rest. Winter will come.

And that's part of the beauty of being connected to the seasons. We don't have to have everything available all the time. We can appreciate what's here, right now.

MY HOPE FOR YOU:

A desire to cook with more local food.

A little more curiosity about what’s growing around you.

A reminder to get outside.

A new connection or two.

And maybe the realization that a nourished life doesn’t require a complete life overhaul.

Sometimes it looks like making dinner from what you have, stepping outside for five minutes, moving your body, laughing with friends, and actually enjoying the life you’re already living.

Come spend an afternoon with me at Mirella Rose Farm and experience what it feels like to have the land give to you, because you give to so many.

Your racing heart and mind can be still here.
