Fritz Barbee

Hey y’all! I’m Fritz—a meditation and embodiment practitioner, artist, farmer, podcaster, and Millie the cat’s companion. My work draws on a background in sculpture, dance, and farming, weaving creativity, land connection, and community care into everything I do.

I grew up in rural Pennsylvania on the traditional lands of the Susquehannock people and later moved to Richmond, Virginia, on the traditional lands of the Powhatan and Chickahominy peoples, to study Sculpture, Art History, and Dance at VCUarts. After working in higher ed and feeling its misalignment with my values, I transitioned to farming, deepening my connection to the land through work with medicinal herbs, flowers, vegetables, and livestock.

At Cazimi, I co-create tailored retreats that center curiosity, creativity, land connection and embodiment. I blend my arts background with problem-solving skills to manage logistics, design experiences, and nurture Cazimi’s vision. As a land steward, I honor my European ancestral ties while working toward lineage healing and regeneration through slow, intentional practices.

I know I’m living my life’s purpose when I create spaces that inspire authenticity and connection.
