From your zip code to your desk…

We bring slow living into the places your life actually happens.

We work alongside organizations and initiatives as they rethink how work is lived and sustained.

We support women and communities in designing slower, more beautiful ways of living well — in the city, at home, and inside the work that holds us. Our focus is on the systems behind daily life: how leadership, participation, and care take shape across workplaces, organizations, and community initiatives.

No chickens required. No shoe closets surrendered. No rural fantasy necessary.

The Homesteadista isn’t about land or lifestyle.

It’s a way of thinking about home as something you practice — in cities, workplaces, classrooms, and communities.

That lens guides our work. We understand wellness as relational and lived — shaped by how people work, connect, and move through everyday life.

In a world that glorifies hustle and redeems burnout, slow living isn’t a trend — it’s a survival practice, a cultural stance, and a city-savvy way of life.

The Homesteadista is a community-centered wellness and organizational design practice rooted in slow living, public health, and care.

Through workshops, creative engagements, pop-ups, advisory partnerships, and long-term project design, we create accessible, people-centered ways to bring ease, beauty, and belonging into everyday life — at work, in communities, and in shared public spaces.

Our work spans local and global contexts, with partnerships shaped through both in-person and virtual collaboration. We partner with women leaders, progressive organizations, and community-based initiatives during moments of transition, strain, or growth — helping people remain well, rooted, and engaged in their work, community, and place.

We believe joy and intention are not luxuries. They are infrastructure — the quiet fuel that helps us thrive in the roles we hold, the neighborhoods we move through, and the work we steward.
