We've been dreaming of this for months—a chance to share our favorite corner of the Hudson Valley with a small group of kindred spirits.

This August at Silverbrook Manor, we're opening the doors to our regenerative farm for something really special. An intimate gathering over two days together exploring the connections between scent, taste, and the natural world that surrounds us.

We'll start by making your own signature perfume—Mindy will teach you the techniques she's learned over decades of working with fragrance, blending, drinking, and sharing your own foraged tea. Then we'll slow down and walk the land together, letting the forest teach us about presence and connection. You'll discover how the herbs and vegetables we grow here can actually heal us, and Mindy will take you to some of her absolute favorite local distilleries where we'll taste stories in every sip.

If you want to keep the magic going, we can end with dinner at our table or make our way to the Culinary Institute of America—both are close to our hearts and incredible experiences.

One intimate session this August

This isn't about checking boxes or Instagram moments. It's about coming back to your senses—literally and figuratively. It's about remembering what it feels like to truly taste, smell, and feel alive in your body.

And here's something that matters deeply to us: part of what we raise goes to the World Taste & Smell Association, which Mindy co-founded to support people who've lost these precious senses. Every workshop helps fund research and brings awareness to something most of us take for granted.
