A One-Day Wellness Retreat at Food Forest

Escape the screen. Reset your nervous system. Reconnect with nature.

Our modern, high-stress lives leave us physically exhausted and mentally scattered. Join us for an immersive wellness retreat designed to restore your energy and calm your mind.

Set inside a thriving 10-acre food forest, you will experience professional medical care, mindfulness practices, and deep ecology.

🎟️ Early Bird Pricing Ends September 1st. Space is strictly limited to ensure an intimate community experience.

🌟 What is Included in Your Ticket

• Expert-Led Qigong: Two distinct movement and energy sessions designed to release physical tension (no experience necessary).

• Community Acupuncture & Bodywork: A restorative, personalized session featuring acupuncture, acupressure, and somatic modalities (needles are completely optional).

• Farm-to-Table Lunch: A nourishing, mindful communal meal freshly prepared by a professional foodscaper.

• Ecosystem Immersion Walk: A guided tour to explore and connect with a mature, self-restoring forest ecosystem.

• Live Community Music & Journaling: Space to reflect, integrate, and share informal musical moments under the trees.

Register before September 1st for early bird pricing.

Clinging to our preferences,
we separate ourselves from life
and suffer exhaustion.
Sitting still and following our breath,
we find renewal.

—Tao Te Ching,A Path and a Practice translation by William Martin

🎫 Choosing Your Sliding Scale Ticket

We offer a sliding scale to make care accessible while supporting our space. All ticket tiers include the exact same full-day experience. Please choose the tier that honestly aligns with your financial situation, keeping in mind that 30% of proceeds support the 10-acre ecological restoration efforts at Forested:

• $75 Tier (Supported): For students, elders, or anyone currently budgeting tightly.

• $100 Tier (Standard)

• $125 Tier (Sustainer): For those with financial ease who wish to directly fund our 10-acre ecological restoration efforts.

We use Humanitix for ticketing—where 100% of booking fee profits are donated to children's charities instead of corporate shareholders.
