Stephanie Zetah

Stephanie, alongside Daniel, stewards a 96 acre regenerative farm, and is the primary holistic care taker of the animals. She has a gift for working with children, helping guide them in learning the skills necessary to living close to the land; nurturing their creativity, capacity and resolve, and engaging them in the sacredness within nature and self. With a natural drive and great pleasure for weaving events and gatherings that create a New Story for society, she creates community whereever she finds herself. For two years prior to moving to Minnesota, Stephanie created and managed the Wise Women Gathering in Australia. Her intentional focus on the traditional observance of the seasons, the nature of the cycles within life and the importance of rites of passage laid the foundation for her training as a Death Midwife.

Her passions include Herbalism, Wild Foraging, Holistic Animal Care, Growing and Preserving Food, Mindfulness and Non Violent Communication.

Daniel Zetah

Daniel is passionate about helping people realize the importance of a life connected to the land. Always willing to engage others in a thought process and dialogue rooted in curiosity about what they believe and why, he invites and challenges everyone who is willing to expand upon what they know, to reach beyond what they find comfortable and to live in a way that truly honors their authenticity. Knowing the value of sharing community in nature, he co-facilitated the Wise Men Gathering in Australia, a 3 day gathering for fathers and sons in nature.

His hands on skills are many, inclusive of welding, fabricating and building and fixing everything mechanical from plows to tractors to trucks. Daniel is naturally inclined to creative problem-solving, re-purposing materials and natural methods of building structures. An adamant and active regenerative farmer, he has helped teach Permaculture Design Courses and Farm-Scale Permaculture with Ben Falk, Mark Sheppard, Darren Doherty and the Possibility Alliance, and has lead workshops on Farm Hacks at Midwest Organic & Sustainable Education Service Conference and the Sustainable Farming Association.
