Rooted in Reverence: Help Us Rewild 20 Acres of Ancestral Land

We're not building a project.

We're tending a prayer.

A lifelong offering to the Earth, the bees, and the generations to come.

After two decades of sacred land stewardship in the Catskills of New York, our family has returned to our ancestral roots in Burgundy, France. Here, we’ve found 20 acres of rare, wild prairie and forest—a place that has been waiting for someone to listen.

We are not here to tame it. We are here to rewild it.

We dream of a place where:

500 native trees rise again to shelter and breathe life into the land

Bees are not just kept, but honored—through healing bee therapy and sacred hives

A medicine wheel turns with the seasons, guiding community ritual and reconnection

Animals roam, berries bloom, and children grow up knowing the names of plants and stars

The wild prairie—now almost extinct in Europe—is preserved, protected, and loved

This isn’t about a product, a brand, or a business.

This is about belonging.

This is about creating a sanctuary where the Earth is teacher, where people come to remember their place in the sacred web of life.

How Your Gift Will Be Used:

Every donation—no matter how small—is part of this prayer.

Your support will help us:

Plant 500 native trees (oak, hawthorn, blackthorn, walnut, and more)

Build and install sacred bee hives and begin bee therapy work

️ Purchase essential tools and equipment to care for the land regeneratively

Restore natural water systems for wildlife, irrigation, and future pond creation

Create healing gardens, a food forest, and spaces for ritual and re-connection

Sustain animals and habitats that help regenerate the ecosystem

We are doing this slowly, by hand, with love.

We are not backed by corporations.

We are a small family with big hearts, bare hands, and a deep listening to what this land—and this time—are asking of us.

Why Now?

The world is unraveling. Systems are collapsing.

But in the cracks, something ancient is rising again.

We believe that places of magic and regeneration are not luxuries.

They are essential.

Places where bees return.

Where medicine grows.

Where the next generation remembers how to live.

We are not doing this for ourselves.

We are doing it for our children, and for yours.

For the future ones.

For the more-than-human beings.

For the sacred Earth who has given us everything.
