Immersion for the Sea Turtle Cohort
October 10-13, 2025

Wildflowers Meadows Homestead
Join us for the Immersion on October 10-13, 2025 🌿
✨ Gathering together for our Guide In Training Program!
I’m so excited to share this video with you, announcing the Immersion location: the beautiful Wildflower Meadows Homestead, that my partner, Mario, and I are honored to share with the living Earth beings: The trees, the meadows, flowers, birds, bees, and you.
This is where we’ll gather, ground, and immerse ourselves in Nature. Here, I’ll give you a glimpse of the land, including the work in progress, and a preview of the forest and beautiful trails we’ll be walking through during the Immersion. I’ve been working hard to create this space to help us ground ourselves and prepare for the training ahead. 🌲✨
One of the most exciting parts: we’ll have a unique kayaking adventure with Earth Kinship EcoTours on the water and through the cypress trees at sunset. 🌅
We are beyond excited for this special activity, and I know it’s going to be a special experience for all of us.
I can’t wait to share this space with you all and begin this journey of healing together.
