The Retreat Schedule

9:30 AM | Arrive & Welcome

Settle into the farm with herbal tea and locally baked pastries. Meet your hosts and fellow guests, receive your retreat tote and journal, and set an intention for the day before we head into the flower fields.

10:15 AM | EXPLORE THE FLOWER FARM

Explore the flower fields as you learn about seasonal blooms, sustainable growing, pollinators, color, texture, and the art of noticing nature with fresh eyes.

10:45 am | Floral Design Workshop

You’ll have the opportunity to harvest flowers directly from the field and create your own lush seasonal arrangement using sustainable design techniques. No experience necessary.

12:30 pm | Mindful Farm Table Lunch

Gather around a beautifully styled communal table for a seasonal lunch prepared by Debbie Campos, chef and certified health coach of Feed the Soul Wellness Coaching.

Over lunch, Debbie will guide an engaging conversation about seasonal eating, mindful nourishment, and simple ways to bring greater intention to how we nourish ourselves—celebrating food as another expression of nature's abundance.

1:30 pm | Botanical Tea Blending

Discover herbs, edible flowers, aromas, and flavor pairings while creating your own personalized botanical tea blend to enjoy at home.

2:15 pm | Woodland Walk, Forest bathing & Reflection

You’ll leave the flower fields behind as you enter the surrounding woodland for a guided forest bathing experience.

Through mindful observation and quiet moments, you’ll reconnect with the natural world at a slower pace.

3:30 | Cultivating What Matters & Farewell

We’ll gather one final time to reflect on the day and consider what you’d like to cultivate in your own life and in the coming season. You’ll leave with a small botanical reminder of your intention, and an invitation to continue nurturing it at home.

Before heading home, enjoy a little time to linger in the flower fields, browse seasonal botanical offerings, and savor the final moments of your day at Sweet Earth Co.

Dress comfortably for the weather and wear boots or sturdy hiking shoes suitable for the flower fields and woodland trails. We’ll send additional details and any weather-specific recommendations before the retreat.

  • Because experiencing the flower fields and woodlands is an important part of the day, our rain date is Sunday, October 11. If weather requires us to move the retreat to the rain date, registered guests will be notified in advance. Please be sure you are available for both dates when registering.

  • Yes. We’re happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions and food allergies. Please let us know about any dietary needs when registering so Debbie can plan your meal accordingly.

  • We offer a full refund up to 14 days before the retreat; after that, registrations are nonrefundable but may be transferred to another person.

  • The retreat includes time walking through our flower fields and woodland trails over natural, sometimes uneven terrain. Our trails are generally easy to moderate, but guests should be comfortable walking outdoors and standing for portions of the day. If you have mobility concerns, please contact us before registering so we can help determine whether the experience will be a good fit.
