Education Workshops

Due to increasing requests to share the model of Magdalene/Thistle Farms with individuals and organizations interested in the work, we have developed a bi-monthly Education Workshop to respond to this need. Participants will spending the morning at Thistle Farms where they will join the meditation circle, observe the manufacturing process and then learn more about the enterprise from women in the program and staff.

In the afternoon, we will take you to the primary residence, the Lena House, where the program team works. While at Lena, you will be able to learn more about the recovery process for the women. Please contact Deb at deb@thistlefarms.org to find out about upcoming workshops. If you are not able to visit on one of the designated days, Deb will work with you to find a suitable time. You are always welcome to visit on a Wednesday morning for the meditation circle - please contact stacye@thistlefarms.org prior to your visit.

If you'd like to learn more about the program from the comfort of your home, we'd encourage you to read Find Your Way Home, Written collaboratively by the community, it includes 24 principles of healing that are the foundation of the organization. Order here.
