In this heartfelt conversation, Julia sits with Deanna Boettcher of Mar Vista Farm and Cottages in Mendocino County, California - the venue where we are hosting the February 2026 School Without Walls Retreat.
Together, they talk about land, spirit, and the journey that brought her and her partner to this magical place. From fresh eggs and gardens to the creek and ocean access, Mar Vista is more than a farm stay—it’s a space where the land itself calls you to be present.
