Herbal Happy Hour returns to the Creative Nature Retreat—a retreat favorite from last year! 🌿

Craft herbal tinctures and shrubs using botanicals that boost your mood and excite your taste buds. Led by herbalist Lauren Peterson of @whitedeerapothecary, this experience invites you to sample several local Texas herbs and learn techniques to create your own tonics at home.

Held on the first day of the retreat, it’s the perfect opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new members of the Creative Nature community.

You’ll leave with recipes to keep the inspiration flowing long after the retreat ends.

🌿 Thank you to everyone who joined us for Wild for Good Day this weekend. It was a joyful celebration of our Wild for Good Circle supporters—and we loved welcoming new friends into the community.

From music by @porchswingorchestra, to hands-on postcard printmaking with @paloma.mayorga of @milpapress, to a guided hike along Rocky Creek with @capitalareamasternaturalists—every moment reflected connection and a shared appreciation for nature.

And of course, we gathered around the table for incredible carnitas and veggie tacos prepared by @addelicious_atx. 🌮

We’re so grateful to celebrate with you—and to continue this work together, keeping Shield Ranch wild for good. 💚
