About The 13th Exchange
The 13th Exchange is a place of belonging, connection, nourishment, creativity, and reciprocity, set across 13 acres in Shafer, Minnesota.
At its heart is the idea of exchange: what we give, what we receive, and what happens when people, nature, and community come together. It’s a place to gather, explore, create, restore, and simply be.
The land and animals are an integral part of The 13th Exchange, contributing their own presence, energy, nourishment, and rhythms to the experience of this place. The land invites us to slow down and reconnect with nature, while the animals offer companionship, curiosity, grounding, and connection. Together, they are part of the living exchange that makes this place what it is.
Within The 13th Exchange, Kimusha represents the spirit of home and belonging. Inspired by the Shona word kumusha, meaning home, village, or place of belonging, Kimusha brings together experiences that nourish the body, mind, heart, and spirit.
Kimusha offers energy work, Biofield Tuning, Reiki, sound experiences, flower essences, and other practices that support relaxation, connection, and wellbeing.
G’s Condiments is a separate expression within The 13th Exchange, centered around homemade foods and nourishment.
Together with future practitioners, collaborators, offerings, and experiences, these distinct expressions contribute to the ever-evolving ecosystem of The 13th Exchange.
Kim, who is originally from Zimbabwe and relocated to Minnesota in 2019, is the founder of Kimusha and G’s Condiments. Her vision and offerings are part of the larger tapestry of The 13th Exchange, alongside the contributions, visions, and work of its other founders. More about the founders and the story behind The 13th Exchange will unfold as this place continues to grow.
About Kim
I am excited that Biofield Tuning is my second career. I was in business for nearly 20 years, but I always wanted to help people reach and attain health and well-being through natural, safe, and effective means, like sound therapy.
Biofield Tuning uses tuning forks to interact with your body’s biofield, the energy field surrounding and permeating your body. This is truly fascinating to me as it affects the body's energy system, and how your body can cope with stress, emotions, trauma, etc. I have personally received and have seen health benefits in my clients.
I live on a hobby farm in Minnesota with my husband, daughter, and our gorgeous Boston Terriers. I am originally from Zimbabwe but have lived in several countries. Most recently we lived in Denmark before we moved to Minnesota in 2019.
I love sitting down with a good book, gardening, and preparing nutritious meals for my friends and family. I live for fostering healthy relationships, enjoying healthy organic foods, and ever pursuing natural ways to make my family and community healthier and more vibrant.
