This was our first Simply Diligent retreat. The four of us, Ani, Aisling, Macy, and Virginia, travelled to a remote village in northern Vietnam to spend a week with a H’mong family who live and work with natural indigo. Their names are Nủ, Nhái, and their little daughter Mì. They welcomed us like family, opening their home, their kitchen, and their fields. We came to learn about indigo, but also to understand what life looks like when everything, from food to craft to care, comes from the same land.
