What We Do
We provide an onramp to a renewed relationship with self and the outdoors.
Our Mission
Braided Seeds’ mission is to provide opportunities for rest, restoration and repair through connection with the land.
Rest is our inheritance.
“In a world that seeks to distort our beauty, we assert that it is natural and right for us to root ourselves in the wilderness and wildness of our existence. Rest is an essential step in reclaiming our dignity and humanity. So let’s play! Let’s be! Let’s show gratitude for our freedom by taking a break and gifting the world with our complete presence towards and acceptance of ourselves.”
