Nicole Spadafora is a ghost, driving a meat covered skeleton, made from stardust, riding a rock hurtling through space; who on a good day, fears nothing. She is everyone’s sister, on the ever evolving quest for self, society and nature. She is the proprietor of Spada Flora Botanical Artistry, a design company which is rooted in all things floral & botanical and their relationship to the human experience- from designing and implementing native gardens, foraging, farming flowers and herbs, to flowering weddings and holy-days. The first thing she remembers wanting to be from a young age was an “ environmentalist”. Nicole’s canine companion for the past 15 years has been a hound dog mix, named Jersey Mae, who for reasons she cannot explain, chooses to remain by her side. Nicole has a love of music, theatre, family, and the best friends she can count on 2 hands. “There are only two ways to live your life, one is as though nothing is a miracle. The other, is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein

DrumCircle
The drum and soul dance circle is used for healing. It’s more of a spiritual gathering than one of professional quality music – which means you don’t have to be a musician or dancer to experience the full effect.
Science has shown that drum circles can be therapeutic. It greatly helps with anxiety, depression, stress and other issues. In a time where so many people are divided, this is a wonderful way for folks to come together. It is an informal gathering of people meeting just to release, let go and have fun.
Try your hand in drumming and bring your own instrument, if you have one. Drum, rattle, tambourine, flute, didgeridoo, or dance your heart out! All are welcome.
A portion of the proceeds will be going to the American Indian College Fund.

The sweet and spicy aroma of Tulsi Basil provides an uplift for the body, mind and spirit. You’ll know it is no ordinary Basil when you catch it’s scent in the breeze. Also known as Holy Basil, this soothing herb provides a wealth of medicinal properties and a sense of comfort and wellbeing in challenging times.
Revered in India as the Elixir of Life, Tulsi is believed to be the embodiment of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi. The energy of Tulsi is used to balance and harmonize our chakras, enliven us and provide what we need to show up as our divine selves in the world.
To get to know this mysterious and wonderful herb on a deeper level, we will experience her gifts in the garden at Mad Lavender Farm and explore her many healing properties in depth. Tulsi has the ability to calm and restore the nervous system, boost physical stamina, provide mental clarity, and is an ally to the heart, lungs and liver. And that’s just for starters.
In our workshop we will take a meditative walk through the garden alongside the lavender field to connect with Tulsi’s energy and journey together from the head to the heart. While sipping on our fresh brewed Tulsi Basil tea, we will learn the methods for creating a tincture, an elixir and an oxymel. Everyone will be hands on in creating their own menstruum of choice. Participants will leave with their own Tulsi Holy Basil creation, the fresh harvested herb, a comprehensive informational Tulsi handout and drawing of the goddess Lakshmi.
Our workshops will be limited to an intimate gathering of 8 people in order to maintain a safe practice of social distancing.
In the interest of inclusivity for those who would love to take this workshop we are happy to offer tiered pricing. $50 supports you, $45 is our community price and $55 helps support us all. We look forward to coming together on the farm!
Feel free to stroll the farm, see the chickens and baby goats and shop at our open air lavender boutique.
