Enjoy quiet contemplation with choices to interact with the horses and other farm critters (chickens and bunnies coming soon!), visit or tend the gardens, sit by the refreshing waterfall, explore the wild areas, journal, or engage in individual & collaborative community art expressions. Group wrap-up sharing time (sharing is optional).
