Faramarz & Jill: The Peace We Found Off the Grid

About this episode

The episode reflects on a peaceful off-the-grid experience in rural Virginia, focusing on reconnection with land, people, and self.

We spent a few days off the grid in rural Virginia — no cell service, no internet, just real food, real people, and real peace. This episode is a reflection on the slow, intentional moments we shared: a Mother's Day brunch prepared by a Mennonite community, kids bottle-feeding lambs, conversations about food, purpose, and presence. We talk about what it means to reconnect — with land, with each other, and with ourselves — when the noise of modern life is stripped away.
