The space to simply ‘be’

Immerse your senses in magical rainforest landscapes through the practice of forest bathing
Cultivate your creativity as you learn the craft of basket weaving
Journey to a place of relaxation via a healing sound bath
Rest and relax your body and mind with ample free time
Grow authentic human relationships with other nature lovers
