Are you working on a project that needs space, focus, and inspiration?

Nestled on a quiet, serene farm, Selar Cottage offers a set-apart space with no interference, no distractions, and no noise — a place where you can truly focus. There is no Wi-Fi to pull your attention away, only stillness, nature, and time.

You’re welcome to come for a weekend or a few days to work deeply, finish well, and create from a place of rest.

This cottage has been prayed over and intentionally set apart — a place where you can slow down, hear the voice of God, receive inspiration, gain clarity, and allow Him to speak, inspire, and reveal.

Meet Pebbles

This is Pebbles, one of our beautiful horses who joins us during the horse sessions available when you book your stay at Selah Cottage.

Pebbles has a gentle, grounded presence. Horses have a unique way of slowing us down, drawing us into the moment, and helping us reconnect with what is happening inside our own hearts. In their quiet strength and sensitivity, they often reflect what words cannot express.

Our horse sessions are not about riding or performance. They are about connection, awareness, and stillness—creating space for Abba Father to speak through creation, nature, and gentle interaction.

In the quiet of the farm, without distractions, time with Pebbles becomes an invitation to:
pause
breathe
listen
and allow God to gently reveal and restore

If you’re longing for rest, clarity, or simply a deeper connection—with Yahweh, with creation, and with yourself—Pebbles will be there to meet you.

Horse sessions are available by arrangement when you book your stay at Selah Cottage.

Welcome. Rest. Selah. 🌾

Sunsets at Selah cottage

As the sun slowly lowers over the fields,
the sky softens…
time loosens its grip…
and something inside you exhales.

At Selah Cottage, sunsets are not something you rush past.
They invite you to stop.
To sit.
To reflect.
To remember that endings can be gentle —
and that every setting sun carries the promise of a new beginning.

This is a place to pause.
To lay down the weight of the day.
To listen for Abba’s voice in the stillness.
If your soul is tired,
if your heart is longing for quiet,
if you need space to reflect and realign —
Selah Cottage is waiting.

Come and watch the sun set…
and allow Him to restore what the noise has taken.

Selah — pause, and calmly think of that.

We took our own family to Selah Cottage after a very hard season.

Not for a holiday.
But for a pause.

Before we arrived, I consecrated the cottage and prayed that Abba would use this place —
to shine His light, to expose what was hidden, and to gently lead us into healing.

And that is exactly what He did.

At Selah, nothing is rushed.
And nothing is hidden for long.
With every frustration, something surfaced.
With every discomfort, something was revealed.
There was no TV.
No WiFi.

And suddenly we were faced with ourselves —
in one space, without escape, without distraction.
The noise fell away… and what remained had to be seen.

It brought out small fights!
Because exposure often does.

But when we stopped resisting the discomfort,
we began to see the beauty hidden inside it.
The children were bored again — truly bored.
And then something holy happened.
They began to create.
To build.
To imagine.
To make with their hands what screens had replaced.
I noticed my breath deepen.
My body soften.
My nervous system rest.
No phone. No WiFi. No constant EMFs humming in the background.

We played board games.
We laughed.
We spoke about deeper things — the kind of conversations that rarely find space in a life filled with urgency and comfortable distraction.

We made vision cards together, as a family.
We watched the sun sink slowly into the horizon.
We allowed time to stretch again.

Yes — we fought...
But we also lived.

We created.
We paused.
We rested.
We slept during the day — all of us.
(I never sleep during the day.)

And somewhere in the stillness, a knowing settled in my spirit:
Abba has a plan with this cottage.
A plan to strip away distraction and false comfort —
not to shame us,
but to reveal us.
Not to overwhelm,
but to heal us.

A plan to reclaim family.
To reclaim rest.
To reclaim time with Him.
Selah is not for everyone.
It is not easy.
It is not entertaining.
But Selah may be exactly what you and your family need
if you are longing to return —
to yourselves,
to one another,
and to God.

We are going monthly!

Selah — pause, and let Him do what only He can do.

Are you feeling the pressure before a season change?

Do you sense that certain things must shift in order for you to move into your land?

Do you feel uncertain… yet deeply certain?

Are you asking Abba to expose — not to wound, but to heal?
To reveal what has been hidden, so He can gently guide you forward?

If this resonates, Selah Cottage may be the place set apart for you.

Selah Cottage is a consecrated space — blessed by Abba — created for those who need to pause, rest, listen, and return.

A place where His light softly exposes what has kept you stuck, not with force, but with love.
A place where stillness makes room for clarity, healing, and direction into a new season.

No noise.
No wifi.
No TVs.
No mirrors.
No distraction.
Only His presence, nature, reflection, creativity, and rest.

Message from client:

Thank you so so much for everything!!

These few days were just what I needed and I am so very grateful! Selah is now a favourite place 🤍 It's really special.
I'd so love to come back again sometime!

But I believe the time I got to spend there was just what I needed, so thank you!

It helped so much to clear my mind and to breathe again. I watched every sunrise and it was such a blessing.

Pebbles is a sweetheart!! 🤍 Thank you for your trouble to bring him to us in such a busy week. He stood for the longest time at the kitchen for some corn 😅

Your gift was super special and so thoughtful, thank you!! 🙏I really love it and it means so much 🤍

All the birds were such a treat and I enjoyed them so! It was such a special revelation again how God really made all creation to sing His praises. Sometimes I wondered what animals were saying... Now I think it's so clear that they were also made to praise Him.

I didn't 'get through' everything as I had hoped but He gave me Word that encouraged me and meant so much more.

Thank you so very much for your prayers!! That is very kind of you, thank you!! 🙏🤍

The milk was amazing!🤩 Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

Thank you so much for everything! May God bless you and your family! And may you soon see the fruit of all the seeds you are planting so faithfully.

Have a blessed weekend 🌸🌸🌸

Selah Cottage

A place to pause. To be still. To listen.

Selah Cottage is not a guest house.

It is a space intentionally set apart for rest, stillness, and reconnection with Yahweh.

This is a place to step away from noise and distraction…
No Wi-Fi.
No TV.
No mirrors.
Just nature, simplicity, quiet, and His presence.

Our heart for every person who comes to Selah is that you would open your heart to what Abba Father desires to reveal. Here, He lovingly shines His light—bringing truth, clarity, and exposure not to condemn, but to restore.

In the rawness of nature and without luxury, His voice becomes clearer.
Without distraction, space is made for Him to speak.

Listen.
He exposes in order to heal.
He brings truth in order to restore.

Selah Cottage is fully off-grid, solar-powered, and nestled on a peaceful farm. It is a place for reflection, prayer, creativity, and rest—where hearts can slow down and realign with what truly matters.

If your soul is weary…
If you need quiet…
If you long to hear His voice again…

Selah is waiting.

Our Story

'Do you know that your bodies are temples of the Holy spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not you own. You were bought at a price. Therefor honor God with your bodies.'

Modern life and media state that we need quick fixes, fast foods, easy meals and symptomatic medicine. Anything quick that doesn't waste our precious time. It should give relief in an instant and satisfy our human nature and need to see results immediately. Nature teaches us that anything worth while takes time, sowing, watering and a lot of patience. A farmer knows to have a good crop, you will have to sow, work the lands with care and excellence & to be patient!! A seed doesn’t show in a day...

Our bodies are part of nature. We need to eat what our bodies were created to digest and fuel on. We need to take care of ourselves, think positive, forgive, pray, walk with God and make the right choices in order for us to thrive, be healthy, fit and feel beautiful. By doing all of this, we are planting the right seeds which will take time to blossom into something beautiful!

With fad diets, quick meals, stress, busy lifestyles, negative thought patterns, unrealistic media presentations and the fast pace environment we find ourselves in, we often suffer from depression, obesity, anxiety, fatique and many other health problems that cripples us in living a life of abundance.
