Nestled amongst the orchard trees, overlooking an ephemeral pond, and with views of the forest and wide open sky above Cricket Circle, this modern studio has everything you need for your next off-grid adventure, including electricity, kitchenette, private fire pit, access to our 30 acres of woods, meadows, ponds, with trails throughout, and is perfect for stargazing, exploring, or simply snuggling in.

:: we’re happy to share another plant medicine offering from the land and Silvae Spiritus Herbcraft: an Herbal Sauna Steamer ~ for sauna löyly or home steam treatments. Add to your in-sauna water bucket for an herbal steam in the hot room when tossing water on the rocks; or take one home with you, add to a large bowl, cover with boiling water, lean over, and simply breathe in the aromatics. As always, Silvae Spiritus Herbcraft features all-organic, hand-crafted, small batch, often wild-harvested herbal creations - always crafted with the highest of foraging ethics and deeply rooted in reciprocity and relationship. Many other Herbcraft offerings are available for purchase on-site and can be accessed by day-trip wellness guests as well as overnight AirBnB and retreat guests.

From the Interbeing Archive: Interactive Soundbath by Michaelton at Interbeing 10! Retreat Co-host Michael Johnson wove together an ever evolving tapestry of ambient soundscapes coupled with inspiring impromptu sampled vocal bits from all attendees. Being a part of and witness to this unfolding co-created soundtrack was so unique and special; the way each step of the journey built upon and was strengthened by the previous aspects really gave the entire weekend a palpable coherency and narrative thread that was super well suited to supporting both our individual development and collective power. Truly memorable; if we close our eyes and remember we can still clearly hear the echoes flitting amongst the trees and trails as we wander here!

Silvae Spiritus - ˈsil vaɪ ˈspɪrɪtʊs || Latin, “the breathing of the forest” ||

We provide guided Nature and Forest Therapy walks – deeply immersive experiences that invite you to fully engage all of your senses in the naturally restorative and healing environment. Designed to refresh, renew, and revitalize, our walks are crafted as an antidote to the pace and distraction of modern life; an opportunity to slow down, unplug from technology, and allow Nature to invigorate our immune and cardiovascular systems, bring a sense of grounded equilibrium to our mental health, and reintroduce us to our place in the ever-changing world. Inspired by the Japanese art & science of Shinrin-Yoku (a research-based practice translating as ‘Forest Bathing’ or ‘taking in the forest with all of one’s senses’), which seeks to explore the physiological, cognitive, and emotional benefits gained through time spent in this manner - our approach integrates the scientific insights gained over nearly 40 years of rigorous Japanese government-sanctioned study, ancient wild-tending methods practiced for millennia by indigenous peoples worldwide, and our certification through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs. Come walk with us; all are welcome here.
