What A Difference A Day Makes just 24 little hours when Gaia is our guru.

Feeling stuck, trapped, overwhelmed,scattered? Vocational and spiritual burnout, environmental anxiety, transition and compassion fatigue are real. Take a walk. Take 4 walks!
For years, copying other people, I tried to know myself. From within, I couldn't decide what to do. Unable to see, I heard my name being called. Then I walked outside. Rumi

Walk #1 After settling into your private retreat space and a Gaia-glorious lunch, tour the land on the gentle Windows on Gaia Walk. Following the hanging windows, discover how the stories of deep ecology can reframe our reality. Walk #2 Nourished with a vegetarian supper enter the candle-lit, woodland Cosmic Labyrinth. At dusk you'll retrace the evolutionary journey returning to Source. Remember who and what you are in the ever unfolding drama. Walk #3 Rise refreshed to join in the morning Yoga practice and share a Farmhouse breakfast. Now you're ready to spiral deep into the power-full Ways of the Universe Walk. Come to understand the creative ways driving life's 14 billion year epic are also at work in you, reclaim your creative nature. Walk #4 After lunch take The Ecozoic Pathway through the four- fold wisdom garden to gather what you need to return to your Great Work.
