Marina says, “I absolutely loved it. I came not knowing what to expect, but I found it connected all the meaningful things for me, such as connection with other people and nature and finding ways to rekindle our relationship with the land.”

Gwyn says, “I walked into the room not knowing anyone and felt at home immediately; everyone was friendly and open, and we've had some great storytelling times. The music was good, and the food was sublime…I'll be back!”
