Open Farm Day
Saturday, October 24, 10am-2pm
Join us for our last Open Farm Day of the season!
On Saturday, October 24th, we open our farm to celebrate autumn, the close of the growing season, and the preparations for the winter months ahead!
Along with our regular line of herbal products, we will be offering homestead-made fire cider and elderberry syrup to support your immune system during the cold and flu season. Handcrafted herbal teas made from herbs we have grown on our farm will also be available, along with our flower essences.
There will be an herbalism demonstration at noon, where Belinda will show how to make a rosemary tincture to support immune health.
Belinda will also be launching a new collection of porcelain pottery inspired by nature and the changing seasons, including porcelain luminaries, and looks forward to sharing these new creations with you!
Farm-fresh, organic eggs will also be available for purchase at $5 a dozen!
Visitors are welcome to meander through the gardens, ask Belinda questions about immune-supporting herbs, and enjoy a peaceful autumn day in nature. We look forward to welcoming you to the farm!

Herb & Garden Workshops
that teach you how to:

-
Apply Herbal Energetics
The intention of our herbal educational opportunities is essentially to connect individuals with the knowledge of herb energetics and educate individuals in supporting balance and wellbeing of the mind, body, & spirit. Herbalism carries timeless traditions and spans many cultures with an understanding that plants carry powerful, medicinal value to help support the various systems within the body in times of balance, as well as in times of imbalance and deficiency.

Coming Soon: Herbal Sensory Circle
A Spiritual Immersion into Plant Medicine
A deeper connection with plants begins within the heart. Join us as we create intentional moments to connect with herbs and their healing energy.
Herbal Sensory Circles are herbalism workshops with a focus on connecting with plants from a sensory (touch, taste, energy) perspective.
SereniTEA Ceremonies
Immerse yourself in the healing experience of herbal tea and sound therapy.
SereniTEA Ceremonies from Elysian Sanctuary Farm LLC are seasonal events on the property. These events are a blend of herbal and energetic healing with handcrafted teas created with intention, along with the vibrational healing of quartz crystal singing bowls. These events currently take place during warmer seasons on the sanctuary grounds.
What is Sound Therapy?
Sound therapy, also known as vibrational therapy/healing or sound healing, has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine cultures to relax the mind, body, and spirit, and to aid the body back into harmony. Research has shown that sound therapy can have a direct, positive influence on our emotional and psychological health.
Sound/Vibrational therapy has many benefits including balancing the etheric body, stimulating healing within the body, reducing stress or pain, supporting cognitive function, increasing circulation, and more.
The crystal singing bowls that Belinda plays carry such beautiful, ethereal tones, surrounding you with gentle sound healing that relaxes the mind and uplifts the spirit. She plays these singing bowls at SereniTEA Ceremonies. Private sound therapy sessions are available and can be booked.
Malbert Lee, a Hong Kong-based Crystal Bowl and Gong Master, says vibrations are especially useful for healing the body. “The adult body is 75% water, and water is a great conductor for sound vibration,” he notes. “When vibrations travel through the body, they promote circulation, energy flow, and rejuvenation. The frequency of the sound synchronizes with the brainwaves and activates destress responses in the body.” source: https://destinationdeluxe.com/sound-healing-health-benefits/
Reiki Master, Belinda Sigstad, gently infuses Reiki within the sound healing experience, too, increasing the frequency and healing effect.
