The Good Goodbye Dinner

A Farm-to-Table Evening at Owl Meadow Farm

4:00 PM – 9:00PM

Ticket Price: $160
Limited to 25 Guests

Gather around a long table beneath the western sky for an unforgettable evening of food, conversation, and reflection.

The Good Goodbye Dinner is not about sadness. It’s about living with intention.

Together we’ll share a thoughtfully prepared farm-to-table meal while exploring conversations about life, mortality, love, grief, legacy, and what it means to make the most of the time we have. Guided by Janet Turkula, Darnell Walker, and Lisa Pahl, the evening invites honest dialogue in a setting designed for connection and presence.

This year’s gathering also quietly honors what would have been Janet’s father Chuck’s 70th birthday, the loss that inspired the creation of GiveWillow.

Guests are invited (but never required) to bring one or two photographs of someone they love and miss to place on our community memorial tree. If you’d prefer, photos may be emailed ahead of time and printed for you. You may email them at info@givewillow.com

The evening includes:

• Welcome happy hour with local cheeses and seasonal offerings from the farmers market

• A curated farm-to-table dinner

• Guided conversation throughout the meal

• Community memorial tree

• Reflection prompts woven throughout the evening

• Fireside connection beneath the stars

When Everything Falls Away: A Mortality Meditation

with Darnell Lamont Walker & Lisa Pahl

10:00 AM – 12:30 PM

$50 | Limited to 25 Participants

What might change if we spent a little time reflecting on our own mortality?

In this guided experience, Darnell Lamont Walker and Lisa Pahl will lead participants through a death meditation that invites them to imagine the gradual losses that often accompany aging, serious illness, and end-of-life. As we move through the meditation, participants will be asked to consider what it might feel like to lose certain physical abilities, roles, possessions, and aspects of identity.

Following the meditation, we’ll spend time writing, reflecting, and sharing about the experience. Together, we will consider questions such as: Who am I beyond what I do? What matters most when time is limited? What parts of myself endure even as circumstances change?

The experience concludes with an opportunity to reflect on how these insights might shape the way we live, love, and connect today.

What We Carry, What We Release: Reflections on Life, Loss, and What Matters Most

with Lisa Pahl

3:30 PM – 6:00 PM

$50 | Limited to 30 Participants

Death, grief, and loss have a way of helping us see what matters most. In this experiential workshop, participants will be invited to slow down, connect with nature, and explore the relationships, fears, hopes, and truths that shape their lives. Through a guided nature-based reflection, participants will gather objects that symbolize grief, resilience, transformation, and what feels unfinished. Together, we will explore why we often avoid difficult conversations, drawing on lessons learned from hospice and end-of-life care, and engage in meaningful dialogue through thought-provoking prompts. Blending reflection, storytelling, conversation, and ceremony, this workshop creates space for deeper self-awareness, connection, and a renewed appreciation for the life we are living today.

Following the workshop, participants are invited to stay for an open Q&A with Lisa before gathering for dinner and fireside conversation.

The Way Back

A Writing Workshop with Darnell Lamont Walker

1:00 PM – 3:00 PM

$50 | Limited to 30 Participants

Join author, storyteller, and community builder Darnell Lamont Walker for a thoughtful morning of writing, reflection, and conversation. Through guided prompts and creative exercises, participants will explore who they were before life got loud, the versions of themselves they set down somewhere and haven’t gone back for, and what it might mean to return.

Whether you’re an experienced writer or simply curious about putting pen to paper, this workshop creates space for remembering, creativity, and community. Come as you are and leave with new words, new perspectives, and perhaps a clearer path back to yourself.

Following the workshop, we’ll gather for final reflections and goodbyes before departures. Guests are welcome to continue exploring Teton Valley or extend their stay as they choose.
