Wren's Nest & Sanctuary™
Land, animals, and the day-to-day work of building a healing space — not a metaphor, an actual farmstead in Livonia, Michigan.
Wren's Nest & Sanctuary™ is the land-based healing program of Beyond Riveting Team Inc. It operates at the founder's property in Livonia, Michigan and through partner properties for gathering programming.
The work here is not metaphorical. Wren's Nest is where animals are housed and cared for, where gathering participants come together, where the nonprofit's mission-driven programming takes physical form.
It is also where Nicole works from — the sanctuary is the workplace.

Rosie's Rescue & Mini-Farm
Animals at Wentworth
A trauma-informed, biodiversity-focused micro-farm — animal therapy and homesteading education, built on a farmstead-deeded property.
Bunnies
Small-animal residents planned as part of the growing sanctuary population.
Goats
Potential addition through Rosie's Rescue — mobile goat mowing and short-term fostering under exploration.
This work sits alongside animal therapy, homesteading education, and nonprofit fundraising integration — the animals aren't backdrop, they're participants in the mission.
