Holistic Health from Soil to Soul
The Soil to Soul branch of the Holistic Health Community provides earth connection programming throughout the four seasons. These workshops promote a full spectrum of practices in connection to food, land and community, as well as experiences and perspectives that consider the cycles of life and how our choices shape our future. Each offering aims to support a healthy mind-body-spirit and Earth.
Connecting with nature is paramount in living a vibrant life. Earth connective practices of simply being in nature to the practices of building healthy soil and making healthy food choices are of such importance at this time. Healthy soil creates healthy food. Food is the original medicine.
Bird watching, flower arranging, farming, fermenting veggies, making herbal remedies and cooking nutrient-dense meals; to sprouting microgreens, propagating houseplants, planting seeds and composting, are all learning opportunities through Soil to Soul which promote holistic health in its participants through hands-on activities that exercise the mind-body-spirit and celebrate the vital relationships to one's environment and the food that we eat.
Regenerative farming practices highlight the life force energy that heals, supports and sustains wellbeing available in the natural environment and vibrant in nutrient-dense foods that people can grow themselves, harvest wild or source within their community.
We give back to the Earth through the little choices we make each day as well as the practices of composting and growing plants that capture carbon, nourish soil and make the environment beautiful.
From these practices we lead happier lives and from a healthy mind-body-spirit imagination soars!

Clove Valley Community Farm has been a staple community space and many people's first experience ever working on a farm ~ a magical experience of being with the land, watching the gardens grow and being a part of the process, all the while, building friendships and steeping in the natural elements, unplugged! This is the 15th year Aileah Kvashay has farmed there with a no-till method to build soil and feed the local community from its vitality.
