09:45 – Arrival & Settling In
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed into the tranquil atmosphere of Little Dutch Farm. Take a moment to settle into the peaceful surroundings, letting go of stress and opening yourself up to the day ahead.
10:00 – 10:45 Tea Ceremony & Introduction
We begin with a tea ceremony from the farm, setting the tone for the day as we explore the theme of the day. Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space where everyone can share as much or as little as they feel comfortable.
10:45 – 12:30 – Riding the emotional cycle
In this nature exercise, we’ll explore the emotional cycle of climate anxiety—accepting feelings of despair, anger, sadness, hope, and action. Using the metaphor of nature’s cycles, we’ll reflect on how emotions naturally ebb and flow, just like the seasons.
12:30 – 13:30 – Farm-to-Table Lunch
A nourishing, seasonal lunch prepared with ingredients from the farm. Along with the meal, we’ll hear about sustainable living and off-the-grid farming practices at Little Dutch Farm.
13:30 – 14:00 – Mindful Meditation Nature Walk
A guided mindful walk through the farm grounds and surrounding nature. During this walk, we’ll reflect on our personal connection to the environment and the small, intentional actions we can take in response to climate change.
14:00 – 15:00 – Cultivating Compassion
We’ll practice cultivating compassion by contemplating the inter-connectedness of life and recognizing the shared experience of growth, struggle, and renewal in all living beings.
15:00 – 15:30 – Planting seeds of hope
During this contemplative ritual, we’ll each plant a symbolic seed of hope, representing a personal intention or action we wish to nurture in the coming months.
15:30 – 16:00 – Closing circle
We’ll gather one last time to reflect on the day, share insights, and exchange small tokens of gratitude.
At our beautiful, rural farmhouse from 1901, sustainably renovated with respect for nature, you will find peace and space.
