“Last spring, my team held a 60 person event at Stowel Lake Farm with Indigenous elders, knowledge holders, land stewards and academic scholars over 3 days to explore the past, present and future of land stewardship in the Salish Sea. We required a venue and hosts that could create a beautiful, safe, trauma informed space for us to explore deeply challenging topics. Jennifer, Liz and team provided an exquisite sanctuary, nourishing food, and catered for all of our needs throughout the event with enormous generosity and reciprocity. Stowel Lake Farm has created a space for education, healing and regeneration supported by a team of passionate and joyful humans. There is simply no other place like it.”
