…if there were a place not too far away that was peaceful, healing, safe, beautiful, clean, inspiring, and welcoming to everyone.
…a peaceful place that takes you away from the busy chaos of life and soothes feelings of isolation.
…a healing place where you can clear your mind, breathe deeply, relax, and simply smile.
…a safe outdoor place that you can visit year-round, where you can step back into a simpler time and experience the joy of letting nature invite you in.
…a beautiful place where gardens overflow with seasonal blooms including sensory enriching edible herbs and vegetation.
…a clean place where you are invited to interact with small flocks of playful, friendly, therapeutic, backyard chickens.
…an inspiring place where you can expand your mind, dream, learn, and grow, just by being present.
…a welcoming place that embraces everyone, where no one is ever judged on ability, race, education, finances, age, etc. …EVER
There is no need to just imagine this place any longer. This place does exist, and you are welcome here.
