Monthly support-group style meetings for those looking to find health + flourishing in community 


Cook. Eat. Learn. Support. Grow.


Traditional cultures understood the importance of diversity and growing in community. The Indigenous Three Sisters practice of growing corn + beans + squash together is both an intentional polyculture and  way of life.  Corn provides a trellis for climbing beans. Squash leaves mulch and shade the soil below, maintaining moisture. Bean plants replenish the soil with nitrogen from the atmosphere to feed their hungry sisters. In collaboration rather than competition, their generous gifts produce more abundantly and sustain the health of humans and the health of the earth. 


"Of all the wise teachers who have come into my life, none are more eloquent than these [The Three Sisters], who wordlessly in leaf and vine embody the knowledge of relationship."
