Welcome to Day Three of Nurture Gift Ideas featuri

Welcome to Day Three of Nurture Gift Ideas featuring our favourite collaborators: the makers, artisans and creative minds from The Nurture Marketplace.

Today's category is...Thoughts and Plots!

@_devonloftus Devon lives at the centre of the Venn diagram of my interests: cooking with heart (she has a cookbook!), feeling with intention (she has a book about that too!) and being the kind of person you can send long voice memos to without ever having met in real life.

@feelszine Hannah and Sarah are pro collaborators. Each issue of their zine is a community in print, full of feelings, deep insights, and art that stirs the soul. Whether you're a reader or a contributor, you are made to feel immediately welcome.

@natalie_ranae Natalie facilitated at Nurture back in 2016 and taught us macramé without tying our wits in knots (a feat). She's made things out of rope that take your breath away, and then wrote a book so you can too!

@priyankathewriter I think all of us cried during Priyanka's workshop at Nurture in 2019. I think it's because when Priyanka writes, she writes the truth and the truth moves and you see new solutions.

@with.outpretend Erin's an editress - her ability to spot and nurture talent is keen and so many incredible people's thoughts and feelings live within the pages of these beautiful anthologies.

@afinemedley When Jess writes, gardens of feelings grow. When she arranges flowers, it's poetry with stems and blossoms. She is a true creative soul and someone I have always been inspired by.

@forevelyn.co Emilia started this greeting card business because she wanted to write her daughters cards now to read later so they wouldn't miss how she felt about them at this age. Now, it's a resource for anyone to write their feelings on a card, with gentle guiding prompts and whimsical designs.

I invite you to check out these incredible shops where the people behind them are just as intelligent and profound as the works they've published. Get to know them and our whole creative community in other categories by visiting The Nurture Marketplace!

Welcome to Day Two of Nurture Gift Ideas featuring our favourite collaborators: the makers, artisans and creative minds from The Nurture Marketplace.

Today's category is...Lotions and Potions!

@sundayscompany Mel is magic. While she does sell her wares online, her PERFECT store in Warkworth, ON is worth the drive, no matter where in the world you live!

@bloembotanicals Sarah is the best marriage of soulful attention and practical plant education. I've personally been transformed by her offerings and am in danger of adding everything in her store to my cart.

@7csalts Katelyn's business origin story stopped me in my tracks and instantly made me grateful her soul is on this planet. I have turned to her products on my harder days and they have helped turn my day around, they are that full of her love.

Plantiful (not on Insta) Amy was one of my earliest collaborators. It's been a treat to watch her business grow into the bustling hub that it is today and her products have honest to goodness healing properties.

@moonshotsoap Becka's soap is so good. The one I have smells like jasmine and was the scent soundtrack to my summer.

@sunfireherbals Tahlia facilitated at the very first Nurture. I have always been in awe of her passion and resourcefulness when it comes to what grows and what you can make with it!

@aidebodycare Michelle is one of my fave store owners to follow on Insta- she is hilarious, deeply motivated by community and has a store full of curated treats for your body and soul.

@wildbynature.to I've visited Maria's urban garden ONCE and have never forgotten its magic. Her archetype boxes full of homegrown plant magic are a GENIUS gift idea.

@threeincheshigh Kat and I had one of the best entrepreneur 'first dates' I've ever had. That same good energy is in everything she makes - you'll want to keep dating her products.

@stresslessnaturals I am often in awe of Brett's humility, transparency and business bravery. Her products carry this same spirit.

These people are just as magical as the products they make. Get to know them and our whole creative community in other categories by visiting The Nurture Marketplace!

Welcome to Day One of Nurture Gift Ideas featuring our favourite collaborators: the makers, artisans and creative minds from The Nurture Marketplace.

Today's category is....Sweets & Treats!

I feel like by now you all know how I feel about food. Each of the folks in this category use food as a tool for expression, community building and making life tastier:

@madam_bonbon Sara's chocolates could just as easily be in an art gallery as in her cute Hamilton storefront (or in my belly, which is where they are VERY happy).

@no7hotsauce Since we met in 2016, I have personally poured Sandra and Carlos' delicious, preservative free sauces on everything, including myself. They're hot in every sense of that word.

@thecookieplayhouse Chef Andrea attended the first ever Nurture and now she makes the best tasting (and most whimsically custom designed) BROWN BUTTER shortbread I've ever had.

@cookerystore Alison sponsored the very first ever Nurture gift bags and I have never forgotten her generosity when I was just starting out. Her store is now an empire of culinary delights, with multiple locations and exactly everything on my personal chef wish list.

@spiceandgreen Mel is the person I turn to for culinary solidarity in my DMs. She is also a rockstar spice blender, deadpan humour twin mom, nutritional consultant and deeply delightful soul.

Got someone in your circle who loves to eat or cook? I invite you to check out these incredible shops where the people behind them are just as nourishing as the products they make. Get to know them and our whole creative community in other categories by visiting The Nurture Marketplace!

Welcome to The Nurture Marketplace! A cozy virtual

Welcome to The Nurture Marketplace! A cozy virtual home that @stephpellett and I created to celebrate the community we've built at Nurture over the past almost NINE years. Part archive, part community builder and one stop shop for meaningful gift giving.

Dear incredible creatives, makers and artisans who have collaborated with Nurture in meaningful ways over the years, either through contributions to our retreat Care Kits, or providing your talents as workshop facilitators or photographers: I am SO BLESSED by you. Consider this marketplace a place of thanks - for believing in and directly supporting this Nurture idea from a tiny seedling into the fruitful orchard of kindred spirits it is today.

I want to cast my vote actively for the healing benefits of community. I want to prioritize getting to know the humans we live with, work with and shop from, personally.

Owning a small business right now is hard. The antidote, I believe, is a circular economy - one of mutual support, celebration and love. I want to introduce you to these incredible people! Over the next 7 days, we'll be featuring each collaborator by the categories you see here, with a hearty invitation to check out the shop for all your gifting needs 🎁

Importantly, this is not an affiliate marketplace. Rather, it is simply a thrill to showcase the talent that Nurture has had the honour to collaborate with, and put their incredible offerings in one space so you can shop and make connections with like-minded folk with ease. If you give them a visit, tell them Nurture sent you!

The Nurture Marketplace is full of businesses with heart, with REAL people behind them - folks whose products and services are full of soul, intention and integrity, built for you and those you love. Thanks for visiting and happy browsing!

p.s. Did you contribute to the retreat and don't see your business featured? Let me know! I am but a human who kept terrible records until @stephpellett came along. I'd also like to take this moment to acknowledge my gratitude for the (sadly, many) businesses that contributed to Nurture who are no longer active. ❤️
