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 requests and keeps the vibe alive!!
We have excellent mentors onsite to teach about gardening, spiritual practices, and give good tips on exploring the area!

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.
