"Coming from a place of relative disconnection to where my food comes from, it was both shocking and illuminating to partake in the process of taking the life of an animal with gratitude and reverence, preparing its body for consumption, and finally enjoying the fruits of our labor as a group." -Arianna (WMR participant)
