We will teach you how to milk a cow. *At the beginning we allow you time to spend with the animals. Petting, brushing, or just hanging out with them. *Next we take you through what we feed our animals and how we care for them. We can talk about what goes into the cleanliness of the process and getting everything ready. *We will then go through the experience of milking the cow (whether by hand or with the machine, you decide). Allowing you to do as much of the work as you feel comfortable with. *Afterwards we will strain the milk and get it cooled and clean up. *Before you leave we will give you the opportunity to taste any of the products from our farm with the option to purchase milk at a 50% discount. *Congrats! You will have milked a cow!

***Great Gift to Self or for Connecting with Those you Love!**** ** Great Way to Celebrate a Birthday over the miles!** I'm happy to consider other days & times - please ask! We begin this online experience with harp music as you nestle in a comfortable place, sip comforting tea, close your eyes, rest your mind, & let the music connect with your heartbeat. As I bathe you in sound that many say feels like a massage, I can even customize soothing harp music to your own natal sign. Western music has 12 major tonalities & these are coordinated with 12 birth signs. Using the special tonality for your birthday, I play calming harp music in *your tonality*. This experience is personalized & very centering! We explore the use of music & harps in healing, including clinical use to relieve pain & anxiety, calm heart beat, level blood pressure. I weave in ways that were used centuries ago to provide care, interspersed with opportunities to indulge your ear, mind, & spirit in ancient & modern harp sound. At the end we settle with a mini-concert of flowing harp music. I follow up with information on continued self-care. Bring a favorite diluted essential oil to make this experience multi-sensory and interactive using AromaAcupoint Therapy! (optional) Rose or Lavender highly recommended.
