Our Location

Introduction to the Natural Beauty of Our Retreat:
Welcome to a place of unparalleled natural beauty—450 acres of pristine Vermont wilderness just 10 minutes from the charming town of Bennington. Here, 19 miles of trails wind through lush forests, tranquil streams, and serene ponds, creating an idyllic setting for exploration and quiet reflection.

The landscape is alive with vibrant life: wildflowers bloom in abundance, attracting butterflies and honeybees, while more than 40 turkeys and a dozen deer roam freely. In warmer months, the air hums with the delicate presence of at least 50 hummingbirds, their wings flitting among thoughtfully placed feeders. Two sparkling ponds, stocked with rainbow and brook trout, offer moments of stillness and delight as the fish gracefully surface for their meals.

Amidst this natural paradise, you’ll find a meadow of wildflowers that has been cultivated over three years to enhance the ecosystem and provide a peaceful escape. The gardens feature a meditation path leading to a serene waterfall, where the gentle sounds of flowing water create an ideal space for contemplation.

Whether you sit in the gazebo to watch the sun dip below the horizon, walk among the trees and native plants that rival any Vermont nursery, or gather around a fire pit under the vast, unpolluted night sky, the retreat offers a timeless connection to nature’s wonders. This is a place where tranquility and beauty come together, inviting you to breathe deeply and simply be.

We want to help

As someone who has faced the challenges of depression and mental health struggles, I understand the profound need for a place to pause, reflect, and breathe. This retreat is born from that understanding—a place where you can create room in your mind to find clarity, direction, and peace. While we may not have all the answers, we are here to walk alongside you, offering a space to find comfort and perhaps, a renewed path forward.

Our vision includes collaborating with mental health counselors to offer sessions and workshops, enhancing the holistic experience of our retreat. All stays are free of charge—a gift to those seeking relief and a reminder that healing and support are always within reach.
