Camp Gedi

What an amazing first day of camp!

Our hearts are still full from yesterday’s Spring Gedi Gathering at The Hummingbird Field

Thank you to every child, parent, caregiver, and friend who came out and made the day so special. We opened our gathering with a beautiful sound healing experience led by Alessandra from Biorhythm Holistic Wellness, setting the tone for an afternoon filled with connection, reflection, and community.

There is something powerful about coming together in a space where we can slow down, listen deeply — to the earth, to each other, and to ourselves — and remember what it feels like to truly belong.

We are so grateful to The Hummingbird Field for welcoming us into their peaceful and nurturing space, to Alessandra for sharing her gifts with us, and to all of you for showing up with open hearts. The community we are building together is something truly extraordinary.

We can’t wait to gather again soon and see everyone at camp in just two months!
