๐Ÿฝ From the kitchen to the wall, to the forest where we forage it all ๐ŸŒฑ

One of the elements that sets Elise Dixie Jane McCulloch Kent apart is our belief that food should never be an afterthought. Itโ€™s part of the experience.

Food is a Universal Love ๐Ÿซ Language

HERE ARE TWO WAYS TO EXPERIENCE NOW

๐Ÿ October 10 NOURISH YOGA + CULINARY RETREAT
is bringing a hands-on pasta workshop to the farm as part of her Culinary + Yoga Retreat, and Iโ€™ll be leading a foraging workshop + forest-bathing hike through the land.

๐ŸŒฒ November 7 | THE RECEIVING RETREAT
This one isnโ€™t a cooking workshop, but food is very much part of the receiving: seasonal breakfast, our build-your-own power-bowl lunch, French croissants, herbal tea, and an entire day devoted to being nourished in more ways than one.

We love welcoming chefs, bakers, fermenters, foragers, herbalists, and wonderfully creative humans who want to educate and guide others... Our kitchen awaits your magic!

๐ŸชปCOMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIP NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN๐Ÿชป

And this is where our Non-Profit at can thrive and give back!

For The Receiving, our Retreat on November 7th, weโ€™re gifting two full scholarships to people nominated by members of our community.

Weโ€™re looking for people who do not have access (or the knowledge) to wellness spaces โ€” someone who may not be able to afford yoga studios, massage or bodywork, retreats, meditation spaces, or nature-based experiences.

This may be someone who has never been in a wellness space before, doesnโ€™t have easy access to the outdoors, or doesn't have the financial means.

We want you to nominate them.

Please send us an ๐Ÿ“ง [email protected] with their name, a little about them, and why you feel this experience would be meaningful.

This isnโ€™t about proving hardship or telling the saddest story. Itโ€™s about widening access and inviting people in who would never otherwise have the opportunity.

Before submitting a nomination, please make sure the person youโ€™re nominating is comfortable being considered for this scholarship. You do not need to share deeply personal, financial, or private details about them. All nominations will be handled with care and kept private.

๐Ÿ“† SAVE THE DATE ๐Ÿ“†

โ˜† November 7th THE RECEIVING โ˜†

Some people reach the holidays carrying everyone.

Others reach them wondering who will carry them.

The Receiving was created for both.

๐ŸชปMaybe you are the person who cooks the meal, remembers the traditions, buys the gifts, checks on everyone, keeps the plans moving, notices who is uncomfortable, and makes the magic happen. By the time the holidays arrive, you are already tired.

๐Ÿฆ‹ Or maybe the season is hard for a different reason. You do not have a built-in person or circle waiting for you. There may be no long list of people to buy for, no full calendar of invitations, and no obvious table where you know you belong. The world can be very social and still feel profoundly lonely.

๐ŸŒ The Receiving is a full day in the forest where neither person has to perform a role. You do not have to host. You do not have to entertain. You do not have to prove you are okay. You do not have to create the experience for anyone else.

For one day, the care moves toward you.

๐Ÿซถ๐ŸฟJoin and for a day of circles, connection, leisure time to swim or board in Princess Leia's Pond, ceremony around the bonfire, yoga, meditation, seasonal nourishment - foodie style, guided Sylvotherapy hikes, Bodywork, sound baths, the famous Brazilian Chakra Chromotherapy Lights, homegrown care packages made by Clinical Herbalist and Herb Farmer Elise Dixie Jane, AND Aura Photography + Videography with ( Earth ๐ŸŒŽ Mother's ONLY Aura Camera to offer Videography๐Ÿ”‹powered by ).

๐ŸชปHi friend ๐Ÿค™๐ŸฝWould you share a little Wild Indigo magic?

Iโ€™m reaching out to a few of the beautiful humans who have spent time here at Wild Indigo Forest Farm and experienced a little of the magic of this place firsthand.

We are just beginning to build our Google presence, and right now, we have zero reviews. Rather than pretend otherwise, I wanted to be completely transparent and personally ask if you would be willing to help us change that.

If your time at the farm brought you rest, connection, joy, inspiration, healing, or simply a good memory, I would be so grateful if you would take a few moments to share your experience.

Your words donโ€™t need to be long or polished. A few genuine sentences about what you experienced, how the farm made you feel, or what you would tell someone considering a visit would mean the world to meโ€”and will help future Friends of the Forest feel more comfortable taking that first step through our gates.

You can leave a Google review here:
https://g.page/r/CTSRrPi82D6MECE/review

Thank you for being part of the story of Wild Indigo and for having already shared your energy with this land. Every person who comes here becomes a tiny part of what this place is becoming.

With so much gratitude,

Elise Dixie Jane

Kinda chic to...

You, me, and Matcha โ™ป๏ธ

I will be spending every morning, over the next seven days, sharing my experience. As always, I will be transparent about my experience and will NEVER encourage you to shop from Amazon!

After my initial experience with Poda ๐Ÿ›, this invention seems to be a M A S T E R P I E C E for all the Matcha Lattee beebees ๐Ÿ and especially, a new item to add to our Grocery Market & Online Shop (yes, y'all need to learn we have an ONLINE shop of our Homegrown Apothecary).

S I D E B A R : We will be slowly โ˜† but surely โ˜† adding more tested, tried, and true products that you can find being sold & served in our Farm-to-Table Retreat Center AND Bed & Breakfast.

๐Ÿต I have oodles of additional thoughts but will wait until day seven to finalize a review.

๐Ÿ†˜๏ธ Emergency Update ๐Ÿ†˜๏ธ

Our brand new puppy ๐Ÿถ , Lady Slipper, fell 12 feet through the basement hatch, bumped into the shiplap๐Ÿชœladder on the way down, and hit the concrete basement floor.

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ Please be patient ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ
Email & Socials & Messages are NOT my priority at this time!

Little Lady is now on strict sedated bed rest for the next 8 days - in hopes that she will be able to walk by then. She is too young and underweight for surgery.

Lady could really use y'alls healing energy, thoughts, Reiki, and in-person enrichment visits from smiling faces ๐Ÿ’– (she is already bored bored bored - and it's only been 2 hours).

I shall respond to emails ๐Ÿ“ง and messages once my undivided attention and energy isn't needed 24/7 for our sweet babygirl.

Friends, please ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ call if you want to visit! I won't be checking socials, emails, or messages while caring for Lady.

Big Love ๐ŸŒŽ

We've been keeping a secret...

๐ŸŒธ Meet Lady Slipper
aka the Melon ๐Ÿ‰ Monster

&&& The newest member of the McCulloch Kent Household!

Lady Slipper found us on the brink of death. The first half of her week was spent in the Animal Hospital, but the second half has been spent living as a puppy deserves to!

Our little warrior is severely malnourished and underweight, full of infections and tapeworms, but finally eating and drinking h20! Healing this curious creature will continue but we are grateful to shower her with love.

Andrew and I weren't ready to adopt at first, but Loki's deep depression (after Leia's death) helped us move forward; to bring Loki a new sister. It doesn't hurt that Lady Slipper ๐ŸŒธ looks like Princess Leia as a pup.

When you come to the farm, expect Lady to snuggle your neck and provide endless puppy kisses!

Until next time ๐Ÿถ โ˜€๏ธ ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

It's the wave ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ from Emmett ๐Ÿคฃ to Mercy ๐Ÿฅบ for me!

& ,

โ˜€๏ธ Spending time with you and your children this past week has healed my soul to the core. From a farm to table dinner at to visiting , thank you for carving time out of your engaged lives to connect! It truly is so special connecting with friends who knew you as kids โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ

Y'all have the most curious, fearless, interactive, well-mannered, and adventurous kids. Talk about shining examples of the next generation of ๐ŸŒŽ Earth warriors...

Thornberry fam; Mahalo for the homegrown Hawaiian herbs, goodies, and Native Hawaiian Plant book! Diving into this book today has been a gift! Safest travels back to the Motherland ๐ŸŒŠ. Until next Summer ๐Ÿ˜ญ

P.s.s. If anyone is looking for grass-roots programs to donate to, please consider ! Kelsey runs a ๐Ÿฅ• Farm School in Hawaii, along with an outreach program! It has been inspiring watching their crew give back to the people, especially during natural disasters that hit the islands ๐ŸŒบ.

The Mosaic ๐Ÿ”ฎ Glass Window now greeting you in the foyer represents WHO WE ARE๐Ÿชป๐Ÿชป

๐Ÿฅญ Guess who's a Paw Paw forest orchard?!

๐Ÿพ Our dearly departed, Princess Leia's pawprint RIP babygirl

๐ŸŒบ Lady Slipper was my grandmother Dixie's favorite Orchid & mine (She had a greenhouse of over 1200 orchids, was an American Orchid Society Judge and the President)

๐ŸŠ We are a Persimmon Forest Orchard & the name of our cat who showed up on the day we viewed the home. After Bubba and Luna died last year, Andrew said our next cat ๐Ÿˆ would show up at the future forest home (it's about speaking dreams into existence, people)

๐ŸชปWild Indigo was the first medicinal herb to greet us when pulling into the driveway of what would become & IS NOW our forever home (I'm also an Herbalist and Herb Farmer, hence our Farm Name)

๐Ÿฆ‡ The Bat resembles our earth home - a bat is sculpted & painted out of the cob strawbale wall (located on the East wall, where Mama๐ŸŒ™ Moon rises)

๐ŸŒท Tulip Poplar is our state tree & grows rampid across the 111 acres! I vividly remember asking my father on a camping trip as a child, " Daddy, why do people want to chop down trees when they're this beautiful? "

๐Ÿ Acorns are delicious, all over the farm, and a staple in the ๐Ÿงš๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ fairy nature sculptures I build

๐ŸŒฐ Chesnut season means making Shibukawa-ni ๆธ‹็šฎ็…ฎ aka a warm reminder that Fall has arrived

๐Ÿ We are Bee-Centric Keepers of an Apiary & have Handpainted Beehives

๐Ÿธ Frog medicine immediately greeted us our first time here & ๐Ÿซง Bubbles, our massive farm mascot Frog Statue greets you after arriving

๐Ÿ„ My great-grandfather was a forager who taught family hunting for Morels on their forest farm. While I never had the opportunity to forage with him, he instilled an obsession of Morels and mushrooms at an early age

๐ŸŒฑ Ramps are the reminder that Persephone has, once again, come home to bring Spring to the land

๐Ÿ‡ Elderberry is an earth medicine that is potent and packed with healing properties that we LOVE making medicine with

squid glass allowed this feng shui obsessed heart โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ to design my wildest dreams!
