Sierra Shadows Lavender & Honey Farm, Gardnerville NV
Saturday, August 9,2026 | 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Step into a summer morning of serenity, scent, and nourishment.
Join us for a mini day retreat at Sierra Shadows Lavender and Honey Farm — a peaceful oasis where the aroma of lavender softens the mind and body, and time begins to slow.
Step away from the noise and into your senses.
Through this restorative immersion of yoga, acrylic painting, farm-style brunch, and lavender picking, you’ll be guided to reset, rebalance, and reconnect.
We begin with a grounding yoga session to open the body and regulate the nervous system, followed by a thoughtfully prepared farm-style brunch, journaling, and gentle connection.
You’ll then wander through the lavender fields, hand-picking your own bouquet — a moment to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature.
The experience culminates in a guided meditative painting session, where you’ll be invited to express, release, and anchor this feeling into something tangible.
This is more than an experience.
It’s a space to reset, rebalance, and return to yourself.
