“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.”
–2 Corinthians 12:9
Grace in the Garden Gathering
The Grace in the Garden Gathering is the beginning of Havilah's story - the first invitation into its purpose and heartbeat. This gathering introduces the foundation of Havilah: to return hearts to the Garden, where Creator and creation dwell together once more. here, those who gather are invited to walk the sacred arc from Eden to eternity, to see how every seed, every oil, and every act of tending mirrors God's greater restoration. "Garden to Garden" shows where you are going. "Grace in the Garden" meets you where you are. Together, they form the journey and the heart.
A 60 - 90 minute journey that welcomes you into the story of restoration. In this gathering, we step into the Garden where creation and Creator first met. Beginning with simple acts of reverence - removing our shoes, washing our hands and donning sackcloth - we remember Eden, the place of first relationship. Through the arc of Eden, Fall, Cross and Restoration, we are invited to see how God's grace meets us in every part of the soil of our lives.
Those who gather receives a living reminder of grace - a sacred plant, a pot and soil. Together, we learn how roots take hold, how soil nourishes and how water sustains. As you tend your plant, you join in God's ongoing restoration, becoming a caretaker of both earth and spirit. The plant you carry home is more than a gift; it is a living parable of His grace taking root in you.
This is a space for stillness and presence. With warm light, gentle worship and the quiet rhythm of tending, we pause to breathe and listen. Here, grace is not hurried or earned; it is received. Every gesture - washing, planting, resting - becomes an act of worship and a reminder that God still walks among His gardens.
Upcoming Dates
The soil is nearly ready, and the first seeds of Havilah are about to be sown. Grace in the Garden will be the opening invitation - a gathering to begin the journey from Eden to eternity. Dates will be announced soon, once the space is prepared and the season is right. Those who wish to be among the first invited may sign up below to receive the announcement when the garden doors open.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
–Matthew 5:4
Grieving Garden Gathering
A 60 - 90 minute journey that gently weaves teaching and experience: honoring the tradition of shivah with quiet space, low seating and the option to don sackcloth; recalling Eden as the first place God created for relationship with His children; and learning about the plants offered, their biblical meaning and how each one carries a message of hope.
Those who gather each receive a sacred plant, a pot and soil blend. Together we repot the plant, learning how roots take hold, how soil nourishes and how water sustains. As you tend your plant, you carry home both a living reminder of God's care and a symbol of new growth in the midst of grief.
The space is set apart for stillness and reverence. With dimmed light, prayer cushions and gentle worship music, we honor the quiet of shivah - a time of sitting low, reflecting deeply and allowing space for God's comfort to meet grief.
Upcoming Dates
The soil is being prepared. No Grieving Garden dates are scheduled yet, but soon the circle will open. When the time comes, you'll be able to sit in quiet space, tend a sacred plant and carry home a living reminder of God's comfort. Watch for the first gathering - each one will be planted with prayer and held in care.
Broken for Gift (Women's Gathering)
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
–Psalm 34:18
A 60 - 90 minute journey that explores the sacred seven - plants crushed, torn or bled for their fragrance and resins offered for their smoke, some woven into the anointing oil of Exodus, others cherished in temple worship, sacrifice and blessing. Their breaking points to both the cost of love and the gift of consecration, inviting women to see their own brokenness as holy offering.
Those who gather each receive a sacred plant, a pot and soil blend. Together we repot the plant, learning how roots take hold, how soil nourishes and how water sustains. When available, the added fragrance of oils and spices may also be offered, reminders of what is poured out and made holy. As you tend your plant, you carry home both a reminder of God's anointing and a symbol that even in breaking, He brings forth beauty and blessing.
Held in a safe, nurturing space with gentle worship music, soft lighting and the embrace of community. Here, brokenness is honored and hope is allowed to rise.
Upcoming Dates
The fragrance is still being gathered. No Broken for Gift gatherings are scheduled yet, but soon women will sit together to learn, share and be anointed with the wisdom of the garden. When dates are set, you'll find the invitation here - a place where brokenness is honored and transformed into gift.
