A Turning Day
Something in your life has already begun to turn. Give it one day, and it turns further than a year on its own would take it.
In short
- Who it’s for — someone with transition already in play, who wants to accelerate it. Not a standing start: something is already turning, and this is the day you give it. No prior work with me required; this is often where people begin.
- What it is — one guided day, 9am to 4:30pm, usually on a regenerative farm on the Gallatin River near Bozeman. Indoors, outdoors, and a farm-fresh lunch in the middle. It is at its most vibrant here, in the nest of nature through its seasons — and it also works over video, at distance, when coming is not possible.
- What it is not — this is not the deep training. If you are ready to build resilience muscles and skills, and to be supported over time, that is A Turning Season. Many people do a day first and move into a season from there.
- Investment — $1,290 for one person, or two payments of $645. $1,800 for two people coming together.
- How you get in — we talk first, and set the date together. I don't hold open days in a booking calendar; we find the one that fits, and settle the payment then.
- By the end — the transition is clearer, and so is whatever has been slowing or stopping it. You leave with tools and frameworks that keep working, so what comes next unfolds more cleanly. People come back years later still adding water, still checking how full their own lake is, still spotting a system that isn’t working and putting health into it.
What it does
The change is already happening. This is the day you give it.
Most arrive with something already turning — a transition in play, whether or not they have named it. The day accelerates it, deepens it, and brings it into alignment. It takes the stories off it. It makes the change feel real, and normal, and important, which is often the part that has been missing.
This unlocks the brakes. It gives you company for being with the pieces that were unnerving even to begin thinking about, and it loosens and illuminates them until they look approachable. What has been slowing or stopping the change becomes visible, and the frameworks stay with you afterwards, so what comes next unfolds more cleanly on its own.
Very often someone arrives with a narrow idea of why they are coming, and the scope opens. It stops being about the one thing and becomes about the whole person.
And it is two things at the same time. It is an invitation to do real and important work on your life as it is unfolding right now. It is also being allowed to be taken care of — tended through ideas, through space, through food, and through beauty.
It is a turning day because people come back out changed.
Very often people move from a day into working with me through A Turning Season.
The day
How it goes
The shape is steady and the timing is loose. Weather moves things around; so does whatever you arrive carrying.
- 9am — arrival, and something warm to drink. No performance required this early.
- Morning — you are an ecosystem, both healthy and fragile. We’ll do a mental exploration and mapping of what has kept you standing, and what you have been quietly living without.
- Noon — lunch from the farm, at the table, unhurried.
- Afternoon — out into it. The field, the river, the animals. The body gets a say in the afternoon.
- Later — Dates with Elephants. The thing you have been avoiding wanting, approached gently and without having to marry it.
- 4:30pm — you go home. You have done real work here, and your last assignment is finding an evening that holds peace and pleasure, a gentle somatic settling of what is new.
The date is set in conversation, not from a calendar. Book an intro call when you want to talk about yours.

Come and see
If there are two of you
A day can hold two people instead of one — partners, co-founders, a parent and a grown child, two people who run something together and have never once stopped to look at it side by side. Something happens when two people do this work in the same room on the same day: you stop translating afterwards. What you each saw, you saw together. $1,800 for the two of you.
Practical
What to know
- Where — a regenerative farm on the Gallatin River — near Bozeman, Montana, but so beautifully apart. Directions come once the date is set.
- Weather — Montana does what it likes. The day adapts; we go out when we can and stay in when we can't, and it works either way.
- Access & Preferences — tell me what you need when we talk and we will build the day around it.
- Included — lunch, refreshments, everything we use during the day, and access to the private library of resilience games afterwards.
What clients are saying
The weight of five millennia of trauma and bitterness and sadness and a lack of joy — that’s what it felt like. Like I was pushing five tons of stones up a hill. … I remember stepping out into the little parking area at your place and thinking, my God, this is where I’ve needed to be all along. There’s a light there. A hope. … By the time I drove home, that weight was gone. It was gone. I came home happy that day. I didn’t have a care in the world, and I was engaging completely differently with everybody.
Marie Lockhart
You helped me find the warrior within and also be gentler with myself. It was very telling when my boss told me in mid-July, “You are sparkling, Nina. You seem really happy!”
Nina Jaeger · Director of Major Gifts, Yellowstone Park Foundation
I was carrying weight and indecision. I didn’t know how to carry it all alone, or what decisions I needed to make for myself that would allow me to carry it — because the weight itself was my privilege. I just needed better tools to carry it. … What changed was my ability to choose myself. … Making sure my lake doesn’t go dry. It’s something so simple — yet it was too hard to justify for myself before I came. I thought being selfless meant sacrificing the self, and that was wrong.
