SHANNON ROSIE
manager
Shannon Rosie is an author and certified Nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science: Nutritional Medicine. ​Shannon will inspire you with her own personal story, as well as many stories from working with her clients, to demonstrate how Holistic Nutritional Medicine can aid in both the prevention and management of a wide variety of health conditions, such as weight, wellness, gut health, and diagnostics.
​
Her practice uses what she calls the inside out method, a process she used to heal herself when our traditional, western medical system failed. Instead of aiming to alleviate symptoms, the focus is on supporting and enhancing your body’s innate ability to heal itself.
​
Shannon will teach you how deliciously it can be to become your healthiest self. You will learn all about balance and even enjoy creations from her book Conscious Cocktails.

FARMER PETE
boss man
Meet Farmer Pete, a man with seemingly infinite energy!
When he’s not jetting the globe on business, he is knee deep in the veggie garden here at Springfield Farm.
During the past six months, he has set up our beautiful chickens in the coop of their dreams and is growing mealy worms and crickets for their food.
He’s passionate about mycelium and has planted a superfood mushroom farm. He’s always got his hands in the dirt, growing veggies for our retreats, and recently became a beekeeper!
He is especially excited to have taken Springfield off the grid with our own solar energy, and will be happy to take you on tours to explore all of his projects while you’re here.
