Before you commit, listen in for your full-body yes or no. A not yet is celebrated as warmly as a yes. We do not want anyone paying an amount that creates stress, so if money is the only thing in the way, reach out and we will find a way together.
Places are limited by design. A small group means your hands are guided closely, and the farmhouse holds only so many. If this is calling you, secure your place while there is still room.
