Enjoy Natural Indoor & Outdoor Spaces
CYANWOOD Natural Lifestyles Center in Harrisonburg is a welcoming, clearing and cozy space, designed for whole person healing. Similarly, The Blackberry Herbarium invites community, herbal exploration, and old-school harvest-table meal sharing, with locally sourced foods and herbs.
