About the event
Join us for a reviving retreat at Riverside Acres where you will find yourself amongst uniquely peaked cottages, surrounded by wild grasses and flowers. The land provides an abundance of opportunities to ground, connect and completely restore your inner peace. A stone laid labryinth can be found lined by a slow moving river, with layers of birds chirping, this is where we will facilitate our sunrise sound baths.
Riverside Acres offers us a very special opportunity to be off grid and feel the effects that nature can have on our minds and bodies. Waking up the sound of birds, dewed grasses, slowly yet intentionally creating moments, that do not include to do lists, or errrands. Just taking the moments that you truly deserve and are of importance to our well-being.
The Cottages are named, "The Keepers of the Land". Each of these cabins are intentionally built and devoted to the memories to honor the men who have passed on too soon. Each cabin holds a special energy, story and life lesson. Inside you will find 3 beds, with homemade patchwork quilts, lanterns and wooden screen doors. All cottages are off grid without power or water.
All of our meals will be intentionally homemade and served under the pavillion laid with sand for grounding.
