FOUNDER’S NOTE
Welcome, everyone!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. This wouldn't be possible without all of you
– the participants, funders, volunteers, partners, supporters –
everyone who made this 2nd Northeast Healing By Growing
Disability & Agriculture Conference, themed "My Voice,
My Narrative," a reality.
When I first envisioned this conference, I dreamed of
creating an annual event. A space that empowers,
inspires, and equips farmers, growers, and the entire
food industry with the tools they need to foster inclusion
and
accessible spaces in agriculture. Accessibility is at the very
core of our vision at Healing By Growing Farms. We believe that by
exploring farming as a path to healing, individuals with trauma and brain injuries
can become thriving contributors to our communities. We also believe in
advocating for a more inclusive agricultural landscape, one that welcomes and
accommodates growers of all abilities, regardless of limitations or age.
My hope is that this conference platform serves as a united front, a beacon of hope.
I want it to empower people to create their own voices and narratives, stories that
prevent mental health challenges, prevent suicide, and offer faith to those who feel
lost. I want it to connect individuals with new skills and provide access to land,
fostering opportunities for healing gardens that unite us all. Here, we can heal the
soil, heal individuals, and nurture the mental well-being that allows us to continue
growing and living fruitful lives.
Thank you all once again. May many blessings be upon you!
Dr. Ivette Ruiz

NOTA DE LA FUNDADORA
¡Bienvenidos a tod@s!
Desde el fondo de mi corazón, miles gracias. Esto no sería posible sin tod@s
ustedes: los participantes, los financiadores, los voluntarios, los
socios, los partidarios, tod@s los que hicieron realidad esta
2.ª Conferencia sobre la curación del noreste mediante el
crecimiento de la discapacidad y la agricultura, cuyo
tema es "Mi voz, mi narrativa".
Cuando imaginé esta conferencia por primera vez,
soñaba con crear un evento anual. Un espacio que
empodera, inspira y equipa a agricultores, productores y a
toda la industria alimentaria con las herramientas que
necesitan para fomentar la inclusión y los espacios accesibles en
la agricultura. La accesibilidad es el núcleo de nuestra visión en Healing By Growing
Farms. Creemos que al explorar la agricultura como un camino hacia la curación,
las personas con traumatismos y lesiones cerebrales pueden convertirse en
contribuyentes prósperos a nuestras comunidades. También creemos en abogar
por un paisaje agrícola más inclusivo, uno que dé la bienvenida y se adapte a los
productores de tod@s los niveles, independientemente de sus limitaciones o edad.
Mi esperanza es que esta plataforma de la conferencia sirva como un frente unido,
un faro de esperanza. Quiero que empodere a las personas para que creen sus
propias voces y narrativas, historias que prevengan problemas de salud mental,
prevengan el suicidio y ofrezcan esperanza a quienes se sienten perdidos. Quiero
que conecte a personas con nuevas habilidades y brinde acceso a la tierra,
fomentando oportunidades para jardines curativos que nos unan a tod@s. Aquí
podemos sanar el suelo, sanar a las personas y nutrir el bienestar mental que nos
permite seguir creciendo y viviendo vidas fructíferas.
Gracias a tod@s de nuevo. ¡Muchas bendiciones!
Dr. Ivette Ruiz
Accesibilidad: Estamos comprometidos a hacer que este programa sea accesible

child of Italian immigrants. Inspired by residents working collaboratively to
transform their communities, Johnny was eager to remain in New Haven after
graduating from Yale University. Now in his twenty-third year on staff, Johnny
continues to be inspired on a daily basis and coordinates the advancement of

a harm-reduction model, and President of the Edith B. Jackson Child Care
Program, a Yale-affiliated leading provider of quality childcare.
When he is not advising students or hosting community members in Dwight Hall,
you can often find him traversing New Haven on foot or bus, or on soccer fields
throughout Connecticut as a joyful grassroots coach.
Johnny would like to express his deep gratitude for Dr. Ruiz and the Healing by
Growing team for furthering their critical mission in support of all those who seek
healing. He is also grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with his ancestral
Sicilian farming roots through this meaningful relationship.

MY VOICE,
MY NARRATIVE
DR. IVETTE RUIZ
Don’t miss Dr. Ivette Ruiz, founder of HBG, in the "My Voice,
My Narrative. conference theme session! Dr. Ruiz will share
her personal journey and HBG's story, specifically focusing
on disability inclusion in agriculture. This session is open to
both farmers and community members.
Her aim is to inspire and empower the audience to find their own voices and craft their
narratives, advocating passionately for their own accessibility needs. Whether you're directly
affected by disability or simply an ally, this session promises to be a powerful call to action.
Dr. Ivette Ruiz has dedicated her career to community service. A bilingual and bicultural third
generation new farmer, first-generation doctoral graduate, and lifelong humanitarian, she
has volunteered for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National
American Red Cross since high school, later becoming the Head of Disability and Integration
for the Connecticut and Rhode Island Region FEMA Territory 1 service area.
Her job, while admirable, required her to be away from her family for extended periods.
Preparing for deployment, Ivette was spending time with her grandchildren, swinging in a
hammock, when one end broke, leaving Ivette with a traumatic brain injury. Her brain injury
caused prolonged PCS (Post-Concussion Syndrome), and her life has not been the same
since. Along the journey of recovery, Ivette found solace in the outdoors. She began spending
more time in nature, and was given saplings to replace the trees on her property that had
been destroyed by hurricanes. Crucially, she also began growing food. Having found peace in
farming and tending to the soil, Ivette desired to share this experience with others who had
suffered traumatic brain injuries. To do so, she founded Healing by Growing Farms (HBG), a
Green Therapy Based Retreat and Educational Center for trauma recovery through farming.
The organization is guided by the mission “Sanando (Healing) Our Brain, Our Spirit and Our
Soil,” where trauma survivors learn about gardening, healing themselves, the environment,
and building community. HBG is committed to educating and empowering farmers,
fishermen, forest workers, and other community members whose lifestyles have been
impacted by trauma or a disability with the goal of creating a more accessible and inclusive
environment.

Inspiring Faith-Based Partnerships:
Cultivating Healing Gardens on Unused Land
Attend a session led by RAFI USA and HBG. In this session, David
and Justine will share inspiring stories of churches that have
successfully partnered with such initiatives, demonstrating the
positive impact this approach can have. They'll also provide
attendees with a practical toolkit - a set of questions to guide
churches in determining if establishing a healing garden on their
land is a suitable option. This takeaway will serve as a valuable
resource for those looking to get involved.
Carie and Kiarah, from HBG, will showcase their expertise in
creating accessible green spaces for healing and mental health
support. They'll also detail scholarship opportunities available to
organizations with unused land.
This session is ideal for those interested in partnering with local
growers to establish gardens that address food insecurity and
environmental concerns, all while promoting
mental health healing within the community.

Heel at heart, David was born and raised in Shelby, NC, and now lives in Durham
with his wife and two cats.
JUSTINE POST
Justine has worked at the intersection of social justice, food ministries, and local
agriculture since 2016. She seeks to serve faith communities and non-profits by
providing resources, tools, and peer connections to increase their capacity.
Justine holds a Master of Social Work from UNC-Chapel Hill and a Master of
Divinity from Duke Divinity School. She lives in southern Alamance County with
her husband Andrew, their daughters Dorothy and Edith, and their dog Bowie.
When she’s not working, she’s usually making pies or spending time with her
family outside.

Development for Healing by Growing Farms. In her role she helps to coordinate
volunteer programming and outreach activities. Carie’s ranch is the site of the first
Healing by Growing Healing Garden in Ohio.
KIARAH YOUNG
In December 2023, Kiarah joined HBG as the Healing Gardens Alliance Program
Coordinator. In my role, I collaborate with Dr. Ivette to develop the HBG Healing
Gardens Ambassadors Partnership Program. This program fosters the creation of
accessible green spaces designed to promote healing through nature. It
empowers survivors to find solace and restoration in the outdoors while fostering
a sense of community and environmental stewardship.

UNITED FRONT
DR. GABRIELA PEREYRA
Join Dr. Pereyra for a dynamic closing session that brings
the day's learnings full circle! This United Front session is
designed to weave together the valuable insights and
experiences you've gained throughout the program from the
keynote session to the breakouts.
We'll engage in a facilitated dialogue, exploring collaborative connections and
solutions to key challenges and opportunities at the intersection of disability and
agriculture.
Building on the day's takeaways, Dr. Pereyra will offer practical tips to jumpstart
your journey towards inclusion and accessibility. Learn how to partner with
organizations like "Healing by Growing Farms" to create accessible healing
greenspaces. This approach offers a multifaceted benefit: providing healing
opportunities for survivors, expanding the grower community, reducing food
deserts, and promoting overall wellbeing among farmers, producers, and growers
with disabilities. Leave this session empowered and equipped to make a real
difference in sustainability, accessibility, and community well-being.
Gaby Pereyra is a Venezuelan/Uruguayan transplant to NY. Her immense love for
plant ancestors started at an early age, when she began to learn anything and
everything about them, especially their relationship to people in
agro-ecosystems. Gaby's current responsibility as Land Network Weaver is to
seed and strengthen relationships, networks, collaborations, and knowledge
exchange among Black, Indigenous, and other land stewards of color. Over the
past 15 years, Gaby has worked alongside farmers and land stewards from the
Americas, Africa, and Europe, learning about the magical trade-off of carbon,
nitrogen, and water between the soil, plants, and the sky. As a descendent of
immigrant and refugee ancestors and as an immigrant herself, her commitment
is to the re-connection of communities and land, under land tenure models that
support human beings and non-humans beings, to create more equitable
possibilities for our future ancestors.

To be of the Earth is to know
the restlessness of being a seed
the darkness of being planted
the struggle toward the light
the pain of growth into the light
the joy of bursting and bearing fruit
the love of being food for someone
the scattering of your seeds
the decay of the seasons
the mystery of death and
the miracle of birth.
