Sustainability Studios: Seeds of Intention

You’ll have the opportunity to create a planting plan for your garden or farm that aligns with your human design, your values, and your production goals. We’ll walk through some journal prompts, engage in some breathwork, and identify ways to bring a deeper sense of intention to your well-being and the natural spaces that you inhabit.
