ABOUT

The spaces we create in matter. Nurture creates intentional spaces of community, connection and nourishment for you – a busy entrepreneur, artist or leader doing important work in the world (this includes you, parents!).

Nurture’s offerings bring you back to your intuition, inspire your creativity and provide a context of curiosity and compassion for the inevitable ups and downs of your life and work. Nurture is a safe space to show up exactly as you are to recharge in the warm company of kindred souls who get it.

Food plays a large role at Nurture – we bake love right in. We pay ardent attention to aesthetic and detail with ingredients that are seasonal and organic where possible, and work with all of your food sensitivities. Our bespoke menus allow everyone at the table to have the experience of abundance, sensuality & deliciousness. We can’t wait to gather around the table with YOU!

HISTORY

What began as a seasonal weekend retreat for women entrepreneurs in the fall of 2015 has flourished into a diverse community of like-minded creatives that have, since meeting at Nurture, gone on to co-create numerous other collaborative offerings.

Alongside the twice-yearly offered retreats, Nurture expanded by collaborating with artists & entrepreneurs (Sarah Slean, Souvenir, Dream, Girl, Shecosystem & more) to cater and curate events where the food creatively reflected each event & brand.

The Nurture team is excited to announce we’re searching for the perfect farm property to open the Nurture Creative Retreat Centre & ‘Coworking B&B’ where freelancers, creative teams and artists can gather for a ‘working holiday’ and connect with like-minded others over delicious, family-style farm-to-table dinners in an inspiring and relaxing rural setting.

ABOUT SONJA

I have a clipping on my vision board at home that reads: “If you want to see my soul, eat my food.”If I were to tell my story through food, I’d be…

The centre of a cinnamon bun. I bring sweet comfort, a home for the sticky secrets that will set you free in the middle of my warm embrace.

Slow-stewed plums with star anise and orange peel. I’m witchy, full of spells, with the patience of sweet orchard fruit breaking down over low heat.

Sunny side up egg, layed by a hen who loves her life because she is free to roam. My yolk is tender, spilling sensually, unafraid of what it is running towards.

Butter. Crock-churned. I’m a miracle of persistence, devotion and cream.

Hearty rye bread, sturdy, scholastic. Yeasted with pockets of stories, where the truth can melt and nestle.

Applewood smoke from a creekside fire, I ignite dreams and spark what is glowing in you.
