Testimonials

  • “We’re still processing this magical weekend, which somehow managed to thread the impossibly fine needle between the pre-kiddo era of carefree fun and dance, with this current chapter of expansion into a family unit - all while being surrounded by so many kindred spirits, all open to deeper connection and a shared love of exploration, community, silliness 🥰 What a gift you’ve created for us and so many other families.”

  • "A heartfelt thank you to Stevie, Matt, and Laura for inviting us into such a special weekend. And James, thank you for sharing such a beautiful place for all of us to gather, to be in community with like-minded people as we navigate parenthood in modern times. When I look back at my own childhood, what I remember most are the trips… the moments that felt magical and out of the ordinary. I’m so grateful I got to gift that kind of experience to my kids (and honestly, to myself too). I’ll forever remember their first time on skiis, the huge smiles in the snow tubes, walking down the catwalk, and watching them mingle with new friends… and new aunties and uncles. Thank you all for your beautiful energy. We’re leaving with full hearts. 🤍✨

  • "The family conga line at our costume dance party, the epic pillow fight, the family fire 🔥 building with Tim, the multiple sound bath ceremonies in the temple, the intense sweat lodge ritual, then stepping into the quiet snow ❄️ filled night… so many deeply meaningful and spontaneous playful moments with you all this weekend... Feeling like we packed a lot into one weekend.. but I’m also totally recharged, thank you 🙏 again to everyone for making this magic happen. "

  • Wow, I had the most amazing and rejuvenating weekend with all of you! Like you all said it was so memorable and it was like a warm hug. It couldn’t have been more perfect. I loved all of the experiences and I’m so grateful for the gang putting this together. It was so wonderful meeting all the new friends and seeing our kids enjoy life to the fullest alongside us! The food was excellent and the experiences were incredible. I’m so grateful for you all and can’t wait to make this a tradition! Thank you again to everyone that helped bring this to life, and all of the kid wranglers for giving us a huge sense of security and peace while we could fully engage in our activities 🙏 so blessed!! Great way to ring in 2025!! Words that come to mind are Joy and Loving — Everyone came there with an open heart, and all of the experiences that were offered came from a place of love. The food was made with love, the sound baths, and the music were offered with love, everyone really laughed, feeling even more loved.

  • As I look at my hard earned Thyme hat, and read through these beautifully articulated and heartfelt messages of the community, I remember this ^^^ Curiouser vision shared with us ❤️, a place where adults can be more childlike and children can be themselves. I think it’s clear that this mission is accomplished 🙏🏻 Grateful for you and all team Thyme for creating this canvas for all of us to play together 🙌🏻

  • I didn't know you could create community like that in a matter of days - hours even - but clearly you can with the right people and intention. An incredible weekend, group, and vision come to life by @⁨Steven Baer⁩ and @⁨James Davies⁩ . Great to meet all of you and thank you for welcoming us! I am buzzing with energy and leave as a better version of myself. This was a pretty epic, dynamic, and engaged group and y'all have the sweetest kids too. Grateful for the experience. Holler at us in Williamsburg anytime - stay in touch!

  • In my short 15 months as a new parent, I’ve already learned how rare it is to form new core memories with good friends. The typical family gatherings we manage, like noisy brunches or brief outings squeezed between precious babysitter windows, often feel rushed or fragmented. Everyone arrives from different head spaces, carrying their own energy, and it’s not always easy to shed the day and truly connect. I find that the special ingredients for magical shared experiences are spontaneity and serendipity. Spontaneity is hard to embrace when your mind is constantly alert, scanning for your child’s safety, food, sleep, and emotional needs. It’s challenging to stay present when you’re responsible for another tiny human’s entire world. Thanks to @⁨Steven Baer⁩ and everyone involved in planning & hosting, you made us feel taken care of. You created a container where we could feel free and playful. It takes a truly special and dedicated group to organize an experience like this, one that feels so fluid and organic. No detail went unnoticed. Thank you again. I knew when I first spoke to Steven that Curiouser would be special, but I didn’t expect it to feel this sacred. As Caroline mentioned in the sweat lodge, and I completely agree, this weekend felt like a coming out ceremony for our little family. At baby showers, you receive gifts. Here, we were embraced with recognition and belonging. Thank you all for bringing your magic to this weekend. I’m already looking forward to seeing you soon, and I hope we can re-gather at The Thyme in the future to make more of this magic together. What a legendary weekend. Thank you all for sharing it with Justin, our daughter and I, and for being such generous and open hearted people! I’m already nostalgic. Keep in touch with us and next time you’re in the neighborhood come visit us! 🥰
