Open Fire Cooking- Be Well Workshop with Barebones Living

Introducing a Fall Harvest Be Well Workshop - Outdoor & Open Fire Cooking with Brianne & Robert Dela Cruz of Gather & Grow in partnership with Barebones Living. This experiential workshop will introduce participants of all skill levels to the basics of successful outdoor, cast iron cooking. 

If you are curious about how to prepare simple, delicious meals in dutch ovens and skillets over an open fire, you are not alone. Many of us would benefit from an intro to best practices, including cleaning, prep, safety, and care of cast iron cookware along with some tips and tricks for setting yourself, and your meal, up for success. 

In this workshop, an intimate number of hot spring loving strangers will gather to sharpen our skills for outdoor cooking with a group cast iron cooking class near our Forest Yurt followed by a shared communal meal that we all make together. To top it off, our partner Barebones Living is supplying each participant with their own mini cast iron skillet to take home as a gift!  Add in a day of Fall soaking, moody November weather, and good company and we're pretty sure we wil collectivelyl serve up a day to remember. 

Be Well Workshops are inspired by our mission to foster personal and collective growth. This experience is designed to help us get out of our comfort zones and into some practical skills, ideas, and rituals that have the ability to alter the way we view and experience our inner and outer landscape.

 Space is limited and ticket options include both day-of only and two-night packages.
