"The Workshop" at our retreat center is expansive and bright with space for a group of about 25 folks to feel close and intimate, providing the perfect atmosphere for transformation that is only possible in smaller groups. What can you envision in this space?

There's SO many new folks following along on our lil page so I wanted to re-introduce us! It's hard to sum up 10 years in some pics with words on 'em, but I'm a hard-core self promoter, so feel free to fall down the rabbit hole of our Facebook and IG (). Introduce yourself in the comments! Where are you from? What do you like to do with your time?
