Founded by Eddi Henry in 2006, The Palmwood is a “think and action tank” geared toward solving the most pressing social justice issues of our day such as drugs, crimes, homelessness, poverty, illiteracy, and self-destructive values, attitudes and behaviors which are tearing apart not only some individuals, but also the fabric of our whole society. As guests, you will be given the opportunity to learn about social renewal, join the conversation and be a part of the revolution for change!

The Palmwood embodies the Japanese principles of Wabi Sabi, a way of life that celebrates the perfectly imperfect, providing a sanctuary for the body as well as the mind. In Japanese Society, the Country Farm House holds an almost mythic position seen as the custodians of the nation’s all important rural traditions and the backbone of its food supply.  In touch with the seasons, and the spirit world governing fertility and fortune, the farmer is caretaker of the nations spiritual values. Eddi practices gratitude in her daily life having been raised by a Mother who nourished her with foods that had purpose and served as medicine.  The same was practiced in raising her Family and in feeding Friends and Community. Food is Medicine, Food is healing.
