Hi Friends!  

It’s finally with deep breath and a little more steadiness that we send this message.

In a little turn of plans this last year, we ended up moving our family 4 times!  Now that the Mana Restaurant is open, and we’re settled in a little place we’ll be for some time, there’s more ease in visioning what’s possible for our lifestyle.

While we moved to Leavenworth with the intention to slow down, live a less wasteful, modern homesteading lifestyle, we were met with many circumstances we weren’t well prepared for.  Amongst all this change, our practices of living as sustainably as possible, became a bit more untethered than we’d like.

For the next year, we’re setting out on a journey of simplifying, clarifying, and recommitting to living more sustainably and rebuilding those patterns.

Each month we’re focusing on one area of our consumption and finding where we can hone our lifestyle.  

For the month of September, we’re looking into our methods of travel.  

While living in leavenworth already makes it easier to drive less, sometimes when we haven’t planned well and we’ve got the kids and lots of stuff in tow, we opt to drive.

So, we’re re-committing to only biking/walking while in the city of Leavenworth and choosing our wilderness-homeschool outings to align with this. (With the exception of one pre-scheduled trip to Seattle & Wenatchee).

This isn’t meant to be a perfect prescription for anyone’s life or way of being, we’re just weaving ourselves with stronger threads into the ways that are deeply important to us and clarifying what modern homesteading means for our family (more on this next month).

For fun, we’d love if you want to join us for this month of less-driving transport!!  If this is already your practice, we’d also love to hear all your favorite things about walking & biking.

With love, 

Colin & Amber

 Review Mana?

If you've been to Sutra, Mana, Sutra Farm, or our Pop-Ups, and feel inspired to write a Yelp &/or Trip-Advisor/Google review for Mana Restaurant, it would help us immensely as a new business.
It's been amazing to see so many familiar Seattle faces in the past 3 weeks of Mana being open.  Thank you for your support!

 Fall Equinox Ceremony and Ritual

This gathering is an honoring of the season, the sacred directions, the ocean, the rivers, and the sacred water ways that teach us to move gracefully through life, that keep us buoyant and vibrant, and clear away the accumulations of summer and the past.

Our practice includes rituals to deepen our connection to the way the Mystery is unfolding this season, a drum journey, writing reflections, creative processing, a short gentle slow flow and restorative yoga practice, meditation, crystal bowl sound bath, and making & holding space for clearly realigning our words and actions with our heart's prayers. Our practices will draw from yoga, ayurvedic, and shamanic lineages.

Fall Cooking Class with Colin

Fall is one of my favorite time of year;  it's the expression of the farmer's/Earth's hard work coming to a fruiting abundance!  In this class we will be focusing on amazing fall ingredients. Tasting demo, soups, squash gnocchi, and of course the best apple pie you've ever had!  Come hungry--we will be doing a lot of tasting!

Thank you all so much for the outpouring of interest.  Both circles sold out very quickly.  Currently both Seattle and Leavenworth have waiting lists.  
The possibility of moving to a larger space is in exploration. 

If you happen to know a sacred space that could host 30-40 women in Seattle for 5 hours 6 Sundays next year, and/or would like to get on the waiting list, please email:
