Join Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture, Kristin Wilson, and Dr. Olivia Dhaliwal for a workshop centered on care, connection, and community for our High Country farmers. This supportive space is designed for reflection, healing, and meaningful connections with fellow farmers.
At this workshop we’ll explore practices of healing and wellness that help to sustain your farming career. We will focus on both physical and mental care practices for you to implement to support your body and mind while farming.
A panel of wellness providers, including acupuncturists and massage therapists, will be offering free, abbreviated sessions. Reserve your session here—please sign up only if you plan to attend!
The workshop will conclude with a nourishing community meal of tea, soup, and bread, intended to uplift your spirit, support your well-being, and reinforce the vital role you play in our community. Come to receive care, connect with others, and leave feeling valued and refreshed.
