Sense how life slows down as you set foot on Masagana Flower Farm, a southwest facing acreage near La Broquerie, MB. Awaken your senses and let nature lead you.

We’ll meet in the studio nestled in the aspen forest to meet new or old acquaintances through a sharing circle. To not miss the extraordinary moments, we’ll ground ourselves with a listening exercise and prep the mind and body for a new experience. The group will proceed to the gardens to learn how to cultivate dye flowers and harvest them as we go. Back at the studio, we’ll create tangible memories of your experience on textiles using the flowers you picked. Discover the creative in you and witness the magic of plants right at your fingertips. We’ll wind up and get nourished with a light salu-salo spread at Lourdes’s table, a festive Filipino tradition of celebrating by gathering and eating together. Take a bite, wind down and leave the farm feeling refreshed and inspired.

Dress for the weather and anticipate coming to a working farm. The natural dyeing portion of this experience will provide participants with basic, non-technical skills.
