When did you finally grow up? Was it a linear process? A chaotic one? Some of both?
For many of us, wrestling through our 20s and 30s with the reality of adulthood has produced more questions than answers. Those questions of work, faith, purpose, and relationship (with God, with fellow humans, with the world around us) have emerged in knots and tangles. Often, there’s no safe place in which to try to make sense of them.
So we imagined: What might that place look like? How could we create a space in which we could address these questions in an integrated and holistic way? And what if we did so in conversation with the land, the soil, and the table?
