“As I walked into the barn on the first night, I was greeted with a warm hug and a genuine smile. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the conversations were so fulfilling! Three Pines Farm is a “safe, brave” space where all are sure to feel welcomed and to grow beyond their boundaries. It’s a hidden gem...”
“What really makes Three Pines Farm special is the sense of community it offers. Kara is so welcoming, and the teachers she brings in are excellent, which immediately makes her guests feel at home. Sharing the experiences with other students, as well as the wonderful food Kara provides, continues that sense of being part of something very special and unique.”
“From the moment I stepped onto the farm, I felt at home, but at home in some kind of magically pastoral place where I could truly relax without the stress of day to day. The studio is beautifully minimal, but also a reverent and comfortable space where gathering people together and fostering relationships are the focus.”
