Found a chicken and a hen! Dry sautéed them to steam off the moisture and improve texture before battering and frying. Delicious!

I see your future and it looks pretty bright ✨✨✨✨

Magical Women’s Costume, Cacao, & Dance party Glamping is Sold Out! But don’t let that keep you from coming out to enjoy the magical weekend we have planned 🪄

We have less than a month until the weekend begins 💕 If you haven’t reserved your spot yet it’s not to late to drop in for amazing workshops, mouthwatering meals made over the fire, and the classic connection that is offered in these spaces.

Option 1: Come Friday night for our potluck and costume party 🎉 $55 per person

* Get ready as your most magical whimsical self! Think faerie 🧚🏼 Witchy 🧙🏻 or anything else that makes you feel connected to your magic 🪄 We will have face paint and adornments in case you need support finding your magic!

* We will open our time with an array of fall favorites: Feel free to bring something or simply enjoy what is offered. Expect fall soups, & a charcuterie style spread, with breads, spreads & desserts. We’ll enjoy at the long candlelit table at Windy goat acres.

* Following our meal, we will gather by the fire for a Cacao Ceremony & connection, leading into an ecstatic dance experience by Light steps. Expect witchy, magical, tribal, sensual, empowering vibrations that leave you feeling present & connected. We offer sharing around the fire as integration.

* You can stay by the fire until it’s time for us to rest up. 10pm/11pm expected departure.

Option 2: Come for the day Saturday $222 per person

* We will wake to Embodied Baddie Dance fitness(and coffee 😂) Tap into your best self with flowy stretches, b***y shaking, and bad-ass-inspiring movement.

* Followed by a sisterhood connection exercise lead by Macey Lamark. This workshop called “Beneath the Veil” goes deep, and asks you to do the same. Come ready to be seen in your beauty & your shame.

* We will ground with a nourishing brunch, offering you a chance for some free-time afterwards to receive a massage, journal, read or just be.

* We gather again for a Cacao ceremony with Olive & Rewriting the spell with Emily Hall. This experience offers an opportunity to re-write programming we’ve taken on in our lives, allowing a reality shift. Combining journaling, sharing, poetry, & art, you’ll be busy bringing your dreams to life. You’ll be provided all the materials you need to take home a special keepsake from the weekend.

* Mix up a magical concoction with Local Herbalist Lindsey Coyne. You’ll be sure to learn a spell or two! There will also be a plant walk offered with her during the weekend 🧚🏼💕

* Grounding in our evening with a fireside meal with Olive. Plant based, gluten free, organic, heart centered nourishment. All allergies respected! You will be full & dessert will be had 🙏🏼🔥@

* Stay by the fire and share your poems, stories, songs. Take in the starry skies 🌌 Leaving before midnight for day pass holders.

Option 3: Come Sunday for Breakfast, Chi Kung & Sound Healing ❤️‍🩹 $75

* Arrive to a Chi Kung practice to energize your day. Ellie from Blooming Being offers an opportunity for introspection, and inspires graceful movement. This specific class is to promote wellbeing in women!

* You’ll be provided a warm Ayurvedic meal cooked over the fire 🔥 Pumpkin spiced porridge, caramelized fruits, topped with nut butters, seeds, and chocolate.

* Closing our weekend out with a Sound Healing Journey by Cullie from Moon Sage Healing. Let this be an integrative experience that leaves you feeling inspired and ready to bring what you’ve learned home with you.

* Reflections, hugs, and Midwest goodbyes 🌷

Option 4: Come All Weekend and book a hotel/camp/drive in $310 per person! There are a few options nearby that will still give you the experience of a get-away and allow you to enjoy every single drop of this magical weekend 🌷 Don’t wait to book, because we only have space for 7 more full weekend guests! Only a handful of single day passes left!

Thank you to this magical team! Herb & Forage Bloomingbeing Chi Nei Tsang Cassidy Belcher Macey LaMark Light Steps Moon Sage Healing Emily Jane

A special private event tomorrow calls for making “bacon” garnish made from wood ear mushrooms. Marinating them in tamari, maple syrup, smoked paprika and garlic powder. They will be caramelized and added to the top of goldenrod corn muffins. Served with a delicious coffee-like beverage of dandelion and chicory root, sweetened with local maple syrup.

I have limited availability for private events as the harvest season comes to an end. Reserve your dates now!
