PRIVATE INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE - SOLD OUT
MEALS
Organic gourmet meals will be prepared by a personal chef with a diverse collection of talented help. All meals are included in your retreat package. The farm produces organic food year-round and collaborates directly with farmers which means that food served during retreats is truly 'farm to table’. Meals are vegetarian, and accommodations for dietary restrictions can be met.
PRACTICE SPACE and COMMON AREAS
Light-filled warm handcrafted buildings provide a supportive setting for retreat. There is plenty of space to curl up with a book by the woodstove, or practice in the cherrywood room with panoramic views of the farm.
COMPLIMENTARY SHUTTLE
There is one complimentary shuttle to get to and from the farm if arriving by ferry without a vehicle. Details in the FAQ below.
Beyond the scheduled wellness classes and workshops, attendees are encouraged to relax in the beautiful common spaces, explore the gorgeous property and gardens, and enjoy the optional activities, tours, bodywork, and practice room.
