We are an Eco Retreat, Educational Centre, Orchard, and a Woodlot. We exist to realize the full potential of humanity, creating a mindful world through cutting edge transformative programs. We work hard to be part of the local community and integrate helpers and visitors into Kaslo culture and all the wonderful things it has to offer. The operations Manager Dustin is fun to be around, attentive to the desires of others and keeps the vibe alive!!

Guests will be immersed in local culture. Anything from campfires on the beach to hiking the local trails to checking out the local music scene. The operations manager is continually looking for ways to make the experience enjoyable in and outside the centre. We are right on Kootenay Lake, the views are breathtaking and nothing more refreshing then jumping in for an afternoon swim.

Irrigation pipes have been laid in the ground under the garden spacen This month we will be working on shaping beds, installing a cistern and drip irrigation, laying mulch for paths between the beds, and then planting.
