To celebrate her birthday, TEDxLosAltos Women creative director Nina Gorbenko gathered a circle of dear friends at Venture — and the whole evening felt like magic✨ Between her gorgeous event design and a beautiful meal shared, Nina invited everyone into something we love deeply: the transformative power of making and nature.

With Nina guiding, the group picked out supplies and created art straight from the heart. As you can see, every single person is an artist — all that beauty lives within and around us, always.

We were over the moon for the synergy and wanted to share a little of that inspiration with you💓 Go make something. Take the beauty in. Let those feelings out! xx

Year two with Real Food Challenge, and our hearts are full. Their mission to shift university food systems toward regional producers is deeply kin to our own values in San Mateo County—a place shaped by farmers, fishermen, and makers who nourish our communities every day💚

Hosting students who believe choosing local promotes health and resilience, creates access and connection. This feels especially meaningful and entirely optimistic!

We’re honored to have welcomed them back to Venture and excited to share a peek at their time with you xx

There’s a special kind of energy when a group returns to the same land year after year. The Dragon Riding cohort brings such intention and heart, and we’re grateful to be a part of the community that supports their guiding path✨🌿🔥

Summer flowers are in full bloom thanks to the right conditions: light, nourishment, space, time, and an intricate web of relationships that makes flourishing possible. Perhaps there’s something to learn from our gardens this Independence Day. Freedom is the presence of the conditions that allow people, communities, and the living world to grow into their fullest expression. Every blossom depends on healthy soil, pollinators, water, and unseen connections. Independence and interdependence belong together.

Together let’s celebrate our shared responsibility to cultivate the conditions in ourselves, our communities, and our world that allow every life to flourish.

People always ask what kinds of groups come through Venture… honestly, all kinds 💖

Last weekend we got to host Dr. Courtney and her retreat crew for a super grounding weekend in nature.

Courtney’s TIME Initiative is amazing — early‑career scientists getting space and support to explore fresh ideas around and aging. We love the cross‑disciplinary energy and the heart behind helping people live fuller, longer lives.

Happy Summer Solstice☀️

Today marks the longest day of the year, a gentle reminder to slow down, reconnect with nature, and spend time with the people who matter most.

At Venture, we believe meaningful moments happen when we gather with intention. Whether it’s a retreat, a wedding, or simply a quiet morning beneath the trees, this land has a way of inviting us to pause, breathe, and reconnect.

Here’s to a season filled with connection, celebration, and renewal. We can’t wait to welcome everyone gathering with us this summer. 🌿💛
