“We raise consciousness through beauty, community and ceremony in the curation of journeys, rituals, retreats and immersive experiences that support the expansion of awareness for those called to a more conscious and connected way of being. ”
— Sarah Rigano
Times of change are moments of opportunity to come into balance and alignment with the natural and spiritual worlds. They are windows of possibility that open to a path of introspection and reflection, contemplation and creation, in our personal energetic spaces and surrounding environments, as inspired by the rhythms of the living world.
We welcome these shifts. These seasonal, celestial and agricultural markers as our Ancestors and their Ancestors before. We relish in these openings to collectively gather, reflect and honor.
We stand committed to elevating creative practices, spiritual practices, ecological practices, agricultural practices, ancient practices interpreted for the now. Ones that spark a remembrance, a sense of renewal and resilience, curiosity and wonder- profound openings to greater physical, mental, emotional and energetic well-being for the benefit of All.
IN THE CIRCLE.
UPON THE LAND.
AROUND TABLE.
October. The Harvest. The abundance. The gathering. The ending. The remembering. We bow to the splendor of trees in righteous release of leaf.
O C T O B E R
We bless first frosts. We ignite hearth fires. Sip warming teas. Veils thin. Ancestors call. Ancient memory runs deep.
Baskets, roots, trees, meditations, memories, dreams- all WOVEN. All vital. All speaking to connectivity, shared experiences, generativity.
Join us on Saturday October 19th, from 11-2, amid peak Fall beauty in the Hudson Valley, for a very special celebration of Autumn and Ancestral Craft, co-created by Sarah Rigano of FORM+ LIGHT, Erin Pollard of UNDERWATER WEAVING STUDIO, Ashley Ruprecht of LAUREL + ASH FARM.
Our time will begin with an opening land honoring and grounding ritual led by Sarah to welcome guests. We will then gather in the Black Barn yard, as Erin teaches guests how to make a Panier de Crudités, French-inspired rustic basket, a stunning creation both functional and décor ready for Fall gatherings and Holiday happenings.
We will further connect around table for a celebratory pond-side brunch featuring a seasonal, plant-forward menu highlighting the delicious provisions of Ashley’s Laurel and Ash Farm, this menu, thoughtfully prepared by the talent that is Chef Alyse Dufour (Botanica, Gjelina) to deeply nourish and inspire!
Tickets are limited. The $250/PP price covers the cost of tools, materials, take-home instructions, refreshments, brunch and good vibes! We look forward to welcoming you to the farm.

We deeply honor and pay tribute to the lineage of SkyRise Farm, bowing to the Spirits of the Land and the Ancestors and Elders who came before, acknowledging that we are situated on the unceded and ancestral homelands of the Muh-he-con-ne-ok, the Peoples of the Waters that Are Never Still, the Mahican Nation, the first stewards of these fertile grounds and the surrounding Shekomeko Valley.
