I spent a summer apprenticing at Touchstone, and the skills I learned there — herbalism, plant identification, farming, circle dancing, yoga, and communication — have not only enriched but also shaped my life. It’s the real deal. Those who land there are people who have walked their talk their whole lives long. This is a rare place, one that I realize now I was very lucky indeed to find. It’s not just a farm or a circle dance center or a place to live, it’s a living breathing community of seekers.
