Help us fundraise for the “Okihi restoration project” by joining this absolutely delicious Fried Chicken & Waffles Brunch.  Okihi is a 14 acre retreat space on the north side of the Kern river, under care of the White Wolf Wellness Foundation.  The chicken for this event is raised and harvested at Okihi, and prepared by infamous local event organizer: Sam Ames and crew….It doesn’t get more farm to table than that!

Make it special with syrups, and a side of apricot-jalapeno and bourbon jam.

Desert is apricot coconut cobbler and cupcakes.

One drink (beer, wine, mimosa) included in the meal, additional beverages available for purchase.

We will be serving food from 10-12am, but the property will be available for you to stay and hang out at Okihi until 4!

You are magic…. but in modern society it can be hard to remember. It’s hard to pay your rent, and taxes but also stay tapped into the goddess within, am I right?!

This circle is to help you reconnect with your magical warrior goddess inside.
We will be connecting to the elements around and within us all- earth, water, fire, wind.

All participants will be invited to participate in an candle adornment creation activity that you get to take home.
