Mén Beni Gardening 2024 Recap: A Year of Healing, Growth & Community
Guided by our pillars to Renew, Reconnect, and Reawaken, 2024 was a powerful year of sacred gardening, cultural healing, and deep community building. Here’s a look at the events, partnerships, and activations we brought to life:
Mind-full Sundays
In collaboration with: Aya Spa & Dunns Overtown Farms
Sponsored by: Dunns Overtown Farms
A sacred return to self through inner work, mirror activations, gardening, and meditation. Mind-Full Sundays were moments of collective rest and reflection a space to slow down, reconnect, and listen deeply.
Together with Aya Spa and Dunns Overtown Farms, we created healing circles rooted in land stewardship and radical rest. Participants engaged in gentle practices that honored silence, rejected grind culture, and nurtured the soul through nature, breath, and stillness.
We reclaimed the act of rest as a birthright and remembered that tending to the soil includes tending to ourselves.
