With great joy we invite you to our first retreat on the New Hamlet Happy Farm. We will dedicate a week to healing, exploring our True Nature through touching the soil. We will work with spades and forks and seeds and crops, we will watch the sun rise, feel the grass under our bare feet, and sing and play together in the evenings.
The Happy Farm at New Hamlet is a small-scale, organic farm that was newly established at the end of last year. It is a place where we celebrate our love for Mother Earth, where we grow food for the community, practice mindfulness in our work of service, and nourish ourselves and each other with our togetherness. Our farming this retreat will be gentle. So join us for a time of rest, service and connection, and bring your loving hands to this earth.
