The Space
The Yurt
This is where the magic happens. Our yurt is the heart of our community—a warm, welcoming space that hosts weekly classes and gatherings including dance, yoga, song and drum circles, sound immersions, and more.
Designed to support connection, creativity, and presence, the yurt is also an ideal setting for retreats, workshops, and private gatherings throughout the year. Whether you’re hosting a single-day offering or a multi-day retreat, this space provides a grounded and inspiring container for your work.

The Sauna
Step into warmth, stillness, and deep restoration with our sauna rental—an inviting space to slow down, release tension, and reconnect with yourself. The gentle heat supports circulation, eases tired muscles, and encourages a natural detox, leaving you feeling clear, grounded, and renewed. Whether you visit after a yoga class, a forest walk, or simply as a pause in your day, the sauna offers a simple yet powerful ritual of care. Come alone for quiet reflection or share the experience with friends, and let the heat hold you as you rest, breathe, and restore.
Cool off in our cast iron tub cold plunge right outside the door.
- The sauna comfortably fits about 8-10 people.
- Retreat guests can book for half price.
- We also offer tea service, charcuterie and soup & bread for groups booking the yurt and sauna together.
The Accommodations
We offer three unique on-site accommodations, each designed to deepen your connection to the land. The Casita and the Caravan are comfortably situated near the yurt, offering convenient access to gatherings and community spaces. For those seeking a more immersive nature experience, the Cabin is a one-of-a-kind off-grid retreat, reached by a scenic 10-minute walk along one of our hand-built forest trails.
Together, our rentals can comfortably accommodate up to 11 guests and are available to book through Airbnb. In addition, the property offers ample space for camping units and tents, making it easy to host larger groups while still maintaining a sense of intimacy and connection with nature.
