Intimacy with Nature

Nurturing our relationship to the land offers a space where we can be in remembrance of mutuality. Like the mycelial threads that weave through interconnected existence, we know that tending this is an integral part of our collective healing and thriving. Land is our kin.

We offer opportunities and programming with the intention to connect and reconnect intimately with the land.
