Stepping into the beauty of this space for the first time can leave one speechless. Practice yoga among the trees with hummingbirds and squirrels, bathe in the rays of the morning sun and feel the light winds of the lake gently caress your skin in this open air yoga studio. Great for ecstatic dance, special ceremonies, and group gatherings.

Featuring everything from banana pancakes and fresh fruit smoothies, to house-made lentil burgers, roasted veggies and hand pressed tortillas, the vegan meals prepared by our talented local staff are crafted to leave our guests with happy bellies and happy hearts. We nourish our souls and our bodies while connecting in community with friends new and old around our communal dining table.
We believe that living in harmony with the land and with our fellow creatures is the key to a sustainable and healthy life.

Whenever possible, we keep it local and organic, using greens and veggies grown right here on our land while supplementing with locally sourced produce and grains as needed.
