The Slow Bloom | Farm Gatherings
Finding Magic in the Moment
Slow living, seasonal beauty, and community-centered gatherings on our family farm in Watseka, Illinois.
*Most events limited to 20 guests.
You-Pick Events
These events will help you deeply connect to the seasons, your food, or flowers - seeing how they grow and just spending time in nature, giving you time to breathe and SLOW DOWN.
We plan to have a selection of flowers available for you-pick, some pumpkins, and maybe a couple more surprises.
We have plans to continue to add more you-pick crops each year so don’t hesitate to tell us what you want!

Yoga in the Greenhouse
Gentle yoga classes held in the greenhouse or among the flowers during the warmer months. These small gatherings combine mindful movement with time spent in nature.
After class, you're welcome to wander the flower field or simply relax on the farm for a while.
No experience is necessary. Just come as you are.
Women’s Circles and Gatherings
Women have been gathering for centuries. Each circle will have time for connection, time in nature, and a gardening/herbal/flower craft.
Some may focus on a full or new moon, while some may focus on a specific theme.
Get more information on women’s circles below.

Retreats Beyond the Farm
While most gatherings take place here at Gray Farms, I occasionally host small retreats in places that invite a slower pace and deeper connection.
Our upcoming retreat will be held in the French countryside, where we’ll spend the week practicing gentle yoga, exploring nearby villages, enjoying fresh, local food, and settling into the rhythms of daily life there.
If taking a step away from your routine and experiencing something like this feels meaningful to you, you’re warmly invited to join us.
