This summer, our team stepped away from the apothecary for a day of rest, reflection, and connection. It was a chance to slow down, spend time together outside of our usual roles, and reconnect with the purpose behind our work.

We began the day in stillness, taking time to listen, notice our surroundings, and make offerings to the land. We practiced energy hygiene and spent time with the river, osha, and aspen, reflecting on the relationships between people, plants, and place.

Throughout the day, small-group conversations created space for deeper listening and connection. We recognized the individual strengths each person brings to Rebecca’s and considered how those gifts support the team as a whole.

We also shared what we value most about the apothecary, what we hope to cultivate in the coming year, and how each of us can contribute to that vision. These conversations reminded us that Rebecca’s continues to grow through the care and knowledge of many people.

At the heart of the retreat was a simple intention: to care for the people who spend their days supporting our customers, students, plants, and community. Giving our team time to feel rested, appreciated, and connected is an important part of sustaining the work we do together.

We returned with renewed gratitude for our team and for the plants, teachers, farmers, wild harvesters, students, customers, and community members who all contribute to Rebecca’s.
