Farm Workshops

Workshops for Self-Healing and Personal Empowerment

Life gets hard sometimes. Each of us faces a myriad of stressors related to physical health, emotional and mental well-being, trauma, relationships, finances, and safety and security. On top of that, there’s a whole lot going on in our collective society that can make us feel shaken to the core. It’s normal to feel afraid, sad, worried, uncertain and not enough.

At The Fox Moon Farm Project, we believe that each of us has the power of imagination, choice, and creation that, when tapped into, helps us solve and overcome our individual challenges and contribute to the solutions needed in our society. Through our series of workshops and programs on personal healing and empowerment, we are committed to equipping each life that we touch with the knowledge, tools, and drive to be better and do better-for ourselves, our families, our communities, and our world.

Welcome to Soul Moon Cove

Nestled in the heart of a lush forest, Soul Moon Cove is more than just a retreat center—it’s a haven where creativity flourishes and souls connect. Overlooking our stunning 6-acre lake, this tranquil oasis invites you to step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse yourself in nurturing workshops designed to empower and inspire.

A Space Designed for Transformation

At Soul Moon Cove, we believe in the power of shared experiences and the magic of nature. Our cabin features beautiful wooden floors ideal for yoga practices, art workshops, writing sessions, and other forms of self-exploration. Whether you’re stretching your body during a yoga class, brushing strokes on a canvas, or engaging in heartfelt discussions, this space adapts to your creative needs.

 

Amenities include:
– Inviting Gathering Space: Perfect for group activities, meditation, or simply unwinding with fellow participants.
– Breakout Space: Additional intimate work space, bathroom, and kitchen to accommodate additional workshop activities, promoting a seamless flow of creativity and connection.

Nature’s Embrace

As you step onto our expansive deck, you’ll be greeted by the breathtaking panoramic views of the lake, where shimmering water dances with sunlight and nature sounds create the perfect soundtrack for introspection. The harmonious sounds of birds chirping, squirrels playing in the trees, owls hooting at night, and fish leaping can help you find peace and connection within yourself.

Discover Your Craft, Rejuvenate Your Spirit

Soul Moon Cove is not just about workshops; it’s about finding your voice, unlocking your creativity, and nurturing your soul. Join us in this serene setting to learn new skills, practice mindfulness, and forge lasting connections with like-minded individuals. Our diverse range of classes, including yoga, art, writing, and empowerment workshops, cater to everyone—from seasoned practitioners to curious beginners.

Escape, Create, and Connect

Let Soul Moon Cove be your personal retreat from the hustle and bustle of modern life—a place where you can explore your passions, heal, and connect deeply with yourself and nature. We invite you to breathe in the fresh forest air, soak in the peaceful surroundings, and leave feeling renewed and inspired.

If you are interested in hosting a Workshop here at the farm, let’s talk! 

Each workshop or program is rooted in these enduring principles:

We are part of
and one with nature
Even though we are imperfect,
our essence is love
There is value in diverse
experiences, perspectives, and ideas
Equitable and inclusive
environments are a must-have

    Rutgers University

    Fox Moon Farm has provided the Black Ecologies Lab at Rutgers University with a safe, fun, and scenic site for community building and sheltering for the last few years during our People’s University with Just Harvest- Virginia. Students consistently complement the arrangements for the natural beauty as well as the care taken by Maria and her staff to ensure their happiness and the overall success of our wider program. The Farm is clean, comfortable, and fun and the food is good. The interaction with animals and the scenic lake consistently draw the adoration of our student participants as well.

    Horses don't hide what they're feeling — ears back means something, a soft nicker means something else. For many autistic individuals who find human social cues confusing or exhausting to decode, an animal's honesty is a relief. What you see is what you get. That clarity builds a kind of trust that's hard to find anywhere else. ... See MoreSee Less

    Horses dont hide what theyre feeling — ears back means something, a soft nicker means something else. For many autistic individuals who find human social cues confusing or exhausting to decode, an animals honesty is a relief. What you see is what you get. That clarity builds a kind of trust thats hard to find anywhere else.

    There's a moment we don't get to plan for — the one where months of quiet, patient work suddenly click into something joyful.

    Today, after grooming his horse, one of our young kiddo's headed down to the lake with his counselor for some fishing. He's tried before but had never caught one on his own. Fishing takes patience, and patience isn't easy for any kid — especially one who's working hard every day to understand his own big feelings and where they come from.

    But that's exactly the work he does here. Caring for his horse. Caring for himself. Learning, session by session, that he can sit with discomfort and come out the other side.

    Today, by the still water, that line finally pulled tight. And the smile on his face said everything patience, trust, and time on this farm can build. 🎣💚

    This is why we do this work.

    Book a stay at the Little Farmhouse, and we'll add something you won't find on a typical family getaway: a free 1-on-1 Equine-Assisted Life Skills session for your child or family member.

    Here's how it works. You'll meet with one of our certified equine specialists, who'll start with a brief, no-pressure assessment to get to know your child. From there, it's just the two of them (with support close by) — your child and one of our gentle therapy horses or mini donkeys, learning together.

    It looks simple. It isn't. Horses and donkeys read energy before they read words — which means your child has to learn to be calm, clear, and present to connect with them. That process is designed to help nurture:

    Emotional regulation
    Self-confidence
    Reduced anxiety
    Social and communication skills

    For a lot of the kids and families we work with, this is the first time "practicing" a skill hasn't felt like practice at all.

    This session is included, free, with your Little Farmhouse rental — our way of making sure your getaway isn't just restful, it's meaningful.
