These 6-week experiential learning series and creative practice communities "immerse" participants in a deeply nourishing relationship to food, land, and community.

75-minute live virtual sessions with a cohort

Guided discussions, prompts, invitations into creative practice, and check-ins with trained facilitators throughout the journey

Space to dream and play with new ways of relating to food, land, and community rooted in care & healing

A series of six 75-minute sessions, the Immersion might feel something like a mash-up of a kickass book club, a storytelling workshop, a community art project, and a powerful conversation with friends. We welcome your vulnerability and practice collective accountability to create a brave and supportive space for all community members.

Please note: Immersions are designed as a companion program to our Around the Table conversations, supporting us in translating juicy insights into daily practices and an embodied experience.To join an Immersion you must have attended the corresponding Around the Table conversation or commit to viewing the event recording prior to the first Immersion session.

“This experience marked a personal shift for me in how I work in the food space, but also in how I exist in any and all space. Those two not being exclusive.”
