These sessions are ideal if you want to:
• Experience the Sensory Farm firsthand
• Understand how Tribes programs work in real life
• Explore whether Tribes is the right fit
• Ask questions about pathways and availabilityNumbers are intentionally limited to keep conversations relaxed and meaningful.
Lunch is provided free as a thank-you for spending time on the land.
