Twice Nourished Meal No. 6

Twice Nourished is a collaborative event series in Chicago built around women, food, and community. Co-founders Mandy Lancia and Chelsea Chandler created this series as a way for women to connect with one another while showcasing their skills, talents, and passions. Through bi-monthly gatherings, they bring together a group of 10-12 new faces to create a meal together.

In January we had the pleasure of attending and documenting meal six in the Twice Nourished  series. You can read all about this project through our interview with Mandy and Chelsea in Issue 12.

We couldn't be more excited to attend Let's Camp, a weekend away for creative women at Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, Wisconsin! We're heading up today to attend the retreat and interview Mandy Lancia (of the Glossary) and Nikki Ricks (of Feminest) about how the idea for Let's Camp came about. You can take a look at the weekend's itinerary of hands-on workshops about business, networking, creative practices, stories, and the importance of self-care and follow along through the Instagram hashtag.

We have been wanting to visit Camp Wandawega since first learning about it, and can't think of a better introduction than a weekend in the woods surrounded by creative women. We're looking forward to this weekend break to disconnect for a moment from our day-to-day norms and connect with fellow creatives, entrepreneurs, and the natural world around us. 

This is the second year for Let's Camp, and we're so excited to be a part of it. In addition to Mandy and Nicki, Workshop Leaders for the weekend include Tereasa Surratt (owner of Camp Wandawega, author, Director of Design at Ogilvy), Mindy Segal (owner of Hot Chocolate + Mindy's Edibles), Simi Botic (Heath Coach and author of Letting Go of Leo), Joslyn Villalpando (owner of J. Villa Workshop), Alma Omeralovic (Meditation Teacher), Stephanie Bassos (photographer), Mel Holmes (founder of What Women Read), Jen Corbett (expert in audience development), and Mo Fritz (photographers).
