Retreats & Workshops

The Jewel in the Forest is the perfect property for your retreat, whether for healing, art, meditation, writing, singing,or any of the healing arts. Time slows down and inspiration flows with ease. Whether you join us for a restorative retreat or a hands-on workshop, each experience is designed to bring you closer to nature, to yourself, and to the joy of expression.

Retreats

Our retreats are invitations to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in the peace of the forest. They can be experienced as a full overnight stay in one of our cabins, cottages, or apartments—or as a single-day gathering for those who wish to pause and renew without staying overnight.

​With space for up to 15 participants, retreats remain intimate and personal, blending communities with opportunities for solitude. Guests gather in serene outdoor spaces that encourage reflection and connection:
  • Carabella’s Theatre – A redwood circle with a small stage for group sharing, conversation, or performance.
  • The Redwood Sanctuary – A quiet grove for meditation, journaling, or simply resting among the trees.
  • The Stream of Consciousness – A soothing spot beside flowing water, perfect for mindfulness and renewal.
Whether you stay for a night or join just for the day, retreats offer a gentle rhythm of rest, reflection, and connection with nature.

Workshops

For those who want to dive into creative practice, our workshops offer guided opportunities to paint, write, or explore other forms of expression in a playful and supportive environment. Led by Sofanya, these sessions emphasize presence over perfection, helping you unlock your voice and discover new pathways of inspiration.
Workshops are open to all—whether you’re a lifelong artist or simply curious to try something new. Each experience is designed to be uplifting, freeing, and deeply connected to the beauty of the forest.
