If forest bathing, creative workshops, labyrinth walks, bonfires, and lake dips sound enticing to you, then this is your retreat, your community, your invitation to unplug from the digital world and reconnect with your sensual, artistic, and imaginative nature. Through creative expression, dance/movement, and mindful presence, you’ll be free to wander, wonder, and awaken the parts of you that long to play, create, and just be.
Enjoy healthy and nourishing, home-cooked meals while retreating in an environment that honors living in harmony with the earth, featuring compost toilets, treehouses, gardens, a labyrinth, and a regenerative grey water system.
Together, we’ll co-create a sanctuary of like-hearted souls, rooted in earth connection and creative renewal. This space is designed to nourish your body, inspire your spirit, and guide you gently back to your natural rhythm.
You’ll leave feeling replenished, inspired, and deeply reconnected, with yourself, with nature, and with the creative spark that’s been quietly waiting to rise.
