Our Story

Stacee Gillelen is the visionary behind Del Sol Farm. A lifelong creative, educator, and advocate for accessible healing, Stacee has spent over two decades helping people connect through art, community, and nature. As the founder of Dragonfly Designs, she brought hands-on creativity to thousands of children and adults. With Del Sol Farm, she’s creating something even more intimate: a sanctuary for deep reconnection.

This space is born from Stacee’s own journey — a path of healing, unlearning, and returning to what is real. It reflects her belief that true well-being comes from slowing down, creating with our hands, tending the earth, and remembering we belong — to ourselves, to each other, and to something greater.

From breathwork to seasonal rituals, art to permaculture, Del Sol Farm is a living extension of her life’s work: to hold space for creativity, community, and soul-centered healing. What began as a quiet dream has become a place of light — where people of all backgrounds can feel safe, inspired, and whole.

Our Vision​

At Del Sol Farm, our mission is to reconnect people with what matters most — the earth beneath our feet, the creativity within us, and the shared humanity that binds us together. Through nature-based experiences, artistic exploration, and intentional community-building, we cultivate spaces where individuals of all ages can slow down, feel deeply, and remember their innate belonging to the natural world, to themselves, and to one another.

We envision a world where every person feels rooted in the earth, inspired by their own creativity, and connected in meaningful community. At Del Sol Farm, we aspire to be a sanctuary for renewal — a living, breathing place where art, nature, and soul-centered connection awaken healing, joy, and belonging across generations.

Core Values

Connection

We believe that deep healing begins with reconnection — to land, to self, to others, and to spirit. Our programs are designed to restore this sacred web.

Creativity as Medicine

Art is not a luxury — it’s a way of knowing, healing, and expressing our truth. We honor creativity as a pathway to wholeness and transformation.

Stewardship of the Earth

We treat the land with reverence, cultivating regenerative practices that honor the wisdom of nature and promote ecological balance.

Radical Presence

In a world that rushes, we choose to slow down. We invite moments of stillness, wonder, and embodiment that awaken us to what is real and alive.

Inclusivity & Belonging

Del Sol Farm is a place for everyone. We welcome all identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences, creating a culture of warmth, respect, and shared humanity.

Intergenerational Wisdom

We believe in the power of learning across ages — from elders to children — and create spaces where stories, skills, and traditions are passed on and honored.

Joy & Celebration

We celebrate the everyday sacred. Whether through seasonal rituals, shared meals, or hands in the soil, we infuse our work with joy, color, and heart.

Why the Bee?

The bee is more than our logo — it’s a symbol of everything we believe in.​
 
We chose the bee because it beautifully represents:

Community & Connection

Bees live and work in community. We believe healing happens through shared experience, togetherness, and belonging.

Creativity & Purpose

Bees create honey and hives — functional and beautiful. We see creativity as a form of healing and self-expression.

Balance of Rest & Movement

Just as bees return home after their work, Del Sol Farm is a place to return to yourself. A place to slow down, rest, and feel nourished.

Natural Harmony

Bees are vital to the health of the earth. We believe when people care for themselves and each other, they also care for the world.

Our little bee — especially with the rays of sunlight around it — is a symbol of hope, warmth, and regeneration. A reminder that you, too, are part of the web of life.
