About Shelley
EDUCATION~ NOURISHMENT~ ENJOYMENT~ FUN
We are a family of 3 sharing our space and gifts with you! We imagine this space as a sanctuary, like all the birds roosting at night in a safe place. We desire to have you come and relax in this space with yourself and your family, for you to feel safe and free here surrounded by nature. We are growing our space for the kids. Next year, 2027, we envision family retreats on our land. Come enjoy the nature, activities for everyone in the family to do together for example various primitive skill arts, movement arts, education on the ground level, even parents have some alone time or time to rejuvenate with massage, breathwork, sauna etc.
