This small batch, beautifully curated rustic retreat is your portal back to wonder, a gently guided invitation to tap into and awaken your gifts in one of the most pristine waterfront environments on the west coast. We built it for conscious creatives, movers, nature-lovers, and anyone longing to reclaim connection and some deeper magic.
You’ll sleep under a blanket of stars, wake with the sun, swim in the cleanest California waters, and return home with a smile on your lips and stardust in your bones.
Come as you are. Leave as more of yourself.
