On a late March Friday morning, Greg & Heidi reflect on an electric violin concert at Brightside where the artist encouraged creatives to ignore self-doubt, which leads into explaining Sacred Moon Farm. They describe living on Heidi's grandfather’s former dairy farm and deciding, after moving back during a second marriage, to intentionally use the property (pond, barn, garage/holistic multipurpose space, yurt tents, and fire pit) to host inclusive community gatherings. Sacred Moon Farm was named after a friend, Susie, suggested it during a moonlit night by the fire. The farm offers yoga, sound baths, drumming, cacao ceremonies, women’s circles, craft workshops, farm-to-table dinners, retreats, and nature-based resting, aiming to provide safe, non-denominational space for connection, creativity, and support through transitions and loneliness. They invite listeners to find Sacred Moon Farm on Facebook and nakednaps.net.

Heidi and Greg record from their farm’s Cathouse Boutique on a chilly spring morning, reflecting on renewal and the purpose of their Naked Naps podcast/book as a final chapter idea titled “breathe, love, naked, nap, and repeat.” They describe Naked Naps as a practice of returning to the relationship’s center—through presence, conversation, affection, intimacy, walks, or therapy—especially when life stressors (children, work, grief, money conflicts, value clashes, perimenopause, empty nest, and major life events) push couples into autopilot or survival mode. They discuss how deeper marital years reveal entrenched values and triggers, making reconnection hard, and emphasize intention, communication, voice, empathy, and giving space while still reassuring love and commitment. They note both crises and boredom can create distance and encourage ongoing effort to stay aligned.
