"Such a nourishing and beautiful retreat... I loved lying on the grass on the blanket and the meditation that you led. Overall, I really appreciated the balance between silence and guided reflections... The guided portions were also quite beautiful as they felt like they were coming from a place of love and respect for the animals and the land. It was intentional and had a gentle humility to it that I could really resonate with."

"The experience was very sweet for me overall. I was drawn to your warmth and love for the land and animals. My favorite part was being with the goats [sheep] because of the naturally meditative quality of that experience." -LM

"I loved the sheep, the walk and the fire... I really loved it so much. Thank you!!" -AB

"My favorite was being with the horses because I've been drawn to work with horses lately and it was deeply meaningful." - AG

Farm Time

Mini-Retreats

Do you spend too much time on sidewalks or in cars, and not enough time with your toes on the earth? Do you wish you had time and space to enjoy birdsong, the breeze in the trees, and the company of animals? Would you like a break from the rat race to refresh and renew yourself in heart-centered connection with the natural world?

Join us at beautiful Grazy Days Farm, a working farm near

Liberytown , MD.

1-4 pm Saturday, November 11th

Weather permitting

We will open and close with a ceremony that will invite us to leave behind the workaday world and enter a sacred space of renewal. All activities will have guided portions and times of silence. We will be invited to engage body, mind, heart, and spirit. The activities will include:

-Mingle with (or observe) the horses as they interact as a herd

A separate, simultaneous farm program for interested children can be arranged with activities such as sheep snuggling, pony petting, and scavenger hunt. Spaces are limited. $20 each. Multi-child discount available.

Optional: bring food and a blanket and enjoy a picnic dinner afterwards. Or, gather around the fire for conversation, depending on weather and personal preference.
