Events & Gatherings

Where community meets the Earth.

From backyard rituals to immersive retreats, our gatherings are rooted in regeneration, connection, and seasonal rhythm. Whether held in the garden, beneath the stars, or around a table, each experience is crafted to nourish the land and the soul — inviting you into deeper presence, purpose, and belonging.
