Join us for a beautiful nourishing day retreat just for YOU as we prepare to step into a new season at New Spring Farm in Peru, Vermont.

In a safe supportive container we will journey together in and through the expanse of our boundless hearts. Together we will enjoy delicious nourishing foods & drinks, cook, move, write, meditate, release, journey with sound and plant medicine, and play with supportive tools for you to take home with you into your day to day to remember the incredible spirit that you are.
