​About Our Camps
In our forest you get time and space to reflect & reset, to (re-)connect deeply with yourself, to put (new) intentions into practice, together with us in a small circle of 10 beautiful souls. Become part of the family and create unforgettable memories with new brothers and sisters. As always - all ages, ethnicities and physical conditions are welcome.
Establish or deepen healthy habits. Eat clean & vibrant food, mindful movement, meditation & breath work, restful sleep, hikes, compassionate exchange and meaningful conversations etc. Plenty of opportunities to leave your comfort zone and grow.
​
We provide a specious tent equipped with mattress, small pillow and thin blanket for each person.
No drugs or alcohol are consumed and minimal technology used.

Our Home
The Forest. The first trees were planted on this land by Elena's great-great-grandparents just over a hundred years ago. Those plumb trees have died, but they still stand. The generations that followed continued the great work. A constant reminder to us of the beauty of generational thinking/living and the importance of environmental sustainability.
​
We are blessed to share this sacred space with YOU. Come and become one with nature, ground yourself. The calming, yet powerful energy of the forest will stay with you and benefit all others who you come in contact with, long after the retreat is over.
