SABBATICAL:
Regenerate your Inner and Outer Landscapes
3-month Wellness Journey for Individuals or Teams
FALLOW Your Field
Close your eyes. It’s one year after your Sabbatical. You’ve just harvested salad greens from your garden and are ready to sip an herbal cocktail or mocktail.
You know just how to read and feed your soil, and you know how to replenish your soul - before you become depleted. You know how to grow food and compost meal scraps and you know how to prepare herbal remedies as part of a solid wellness practice! You tend garden and soul as one regenerative organism. You are ready for anything that comes your way.
REGENERATE your Soil, RENEW your Soul
In my most immersive, mindSHIFTING and groundMENDING offering, join an intimate cohort for 3-months, to FALLOW. This means, together we unlearn the idea of OVERWHELM and shift the focus from PRODUCTIVITY to JOY. We explore. We s l o w down.
We relinquish the need to MULTI-TASK and overachieve, and we shift away from the endless deadlines for a momentary breath to recharge and connect with the rhythms of nature.
Join a cohort to unearth delight in the simple. The mundane. Be guided back to a place where there is enough time to remember and appreciate the feeling of a gentle breeze.
Perhaps you want to learn kitchen gardening, or herbal medicine making, and align with community-care. Or perhaps you want to learn to swap out the number of hours you spend scrolling with a daily/weekly/monthly ritual.
Sabbatical, is an embodied wellness journey in the garden and in the home. It’s a chance to reset your relationship to time. It’s a chance to tap JOY, and find your innate wisdom. It’s a time to nurture nature, align with your purpose, and learn technical skills needed to grow.
Teachings and mindfulness meditations are rooted in principles of Spiritual Ecology, social justice, and ancient Middle Eastern tools of regenerative land stewardship. You'll be guided as you create a fruitful, climate-resilient, and thriving garden ecosystem that feeds you and yours, in harmony with our earth.
Your Sabbatical is so much more than honing your technical gardening skills. Through nature’s inherent abundance, learn to give back to the land, and to your community. Let the garden be your radical teacher. Learn the food-as-medicine approach with preservation techniques for your homegrown harvest. Cultivate Sabbatical goals that are “SMARTER” (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time Bound, Ecological, and Regenerative).
Root down to rise up in the sacred garden.
You’ve been wanting personalized guidance to explore. You’ve been wanting to go deeper. You've been needing a big change. You’re ready to dream audaciously, if you could just find the time.
Here, we expand into Sabbatical time.
While you learn to grow your garden, we’ll unearth tools and practices to NOURISH, RESOURCE, and REWILD.
During Sabbatical, clear and cleanse what doesn’t serve. Step into the herbal alchemy of wholeness.
Plant your regenerative food/herb garden! Make your own herbal remedies. Craft your homemade herbal apothecary with earth medicine you can share. Feed a community land sovereignty project. Grow.
On your Sabbatical, you’ll SOW and TEND what you've dreamt.

“Dev took me leaps beyond what I thought was even possible. She gave me the tools not just to grow food, but to see how the cycles of my garden could be interconnected with all parts of my life - my spiritual and emotional growth, my health, my daily living practices, and eventually the wellbeing of my family and my community. Embarking on the FromSoil2Soul journey deeply impacted my perspectives. Dev has helped me connect the dots between being a caretaker for my garden, to becoming a steward for our planet. I couldn’t recommend this journey more highly!”

FAQ
Can I join for just one month? No, this three-month program is offered four times over the course of a year - it maps onto the seasons. You can join in 3-month blocks and renew.
When does the next session start? December 2022
Is this for me? “I work really hard, I’m super busy ALL the time. Most of the time my hands are on a keyboard, and it’s almost unfathomable that I’ll manage to grow food.” Or, “I am literally swirling. I can’t imagine finding time to grow my wellness regimen but I really don’t feel great.” Or, “I rent, (or travel a heap) and don’t have strong roots at home. I’ve been thinking about getting my hands in the earth but haven’t figured that out yet…” Yes, this is designed for YOU.
Will I really get wellness results here? This journey requires one attribute, and its not ownership (land or home), it is: *WILL. IF you have WILL to make the time, this journey is for YOU. Come practice crafting time and space to feed yourself and your relationship to land. The idea of Sabbatical has radical roots in the Torah of healing the collective.
Just imagine what you’ll glean from releasing the tight constraints of the over-culture that drive bad choices and take us far from the land, Like frenetic pace. Like the wrong food. This leads to disordered sleep, chronic anxiety, and illness. Let me support YOU to take a Sabbatical.
This is a new world. And YOU want new tools. Tools to support personal and collective transformation. This ancient and emergent wellness and soul-care program is for YOU if you are ready to unearth your sweet spot and sow seeds of change in your own embodied, authentic, and impactful way. This is also for teams of changemakers, nonprofit professionals, entreprenuers, educators, and creatives. EVERYONE needs a Sabbatical to shift from burnout to renewal.
Together we'll explore earth-based practices that lay the groundwork for radical equity, racial justice, and climate justice designed to bring out your unique earth medicine to feed community in these times. Explore practical strategies to bolster your health, while you ground and clarify your intentions, dream the dreams, and set healthy boundaries where needed. Explore seasonal growth, and mindful contemplative practices with herbs and foods to nourish. The world needs YOU inspired, not depleted. We’ll help you map your vision for personal and collective transformation.
