Reconnect with your Essential Self

A sanctuary where the only notifications come from nature itself

When was the last time you truly heard yourself think?
Can you remember the feeling of waking naturally, not to an alarm but to sunlight and birdsong?

A Sanctuary Born from Necessity

"I designed the space I desperately needed—a sanctuary where the only notifications are from nature itself." After many years in the corporate world, I found myself constantly connected yet profoundly disconnected from what mattered most. The persistent ping of notifications had become the soundtrack to my life, drowning out my intuition and creativity. What began as my personal refuge has become a transformative experience for the select few who visit each season.

The Zen Retreat Experience

What makes this retreat different is what it doesn't include


Nature Immersion

Nature Immersion Surrounded by ancient pines and wetlands, the cabin liberates you from digital distractions. Studies show that just 20 minutes of nature immersion significantly reduces cortisol levels and improves cognitive function.

Your Own Rhythm

No scheduled activities, no expectations, and no performance metrics. Follow your body's natural patterns for perhaps the first time in years. Wake with the sun, rest when tired, and rediscover the natural cadence of your thoughts.

Space for Reflection

Whether journaling by the fire, exploring forest trails, or simply watching the clouds pass, this is your time to reconnect. The cabin's minimalist design eliminates visual noise, creating a canvas for your thoughts to expand.

Comfort in Solitude

The cabin comfortably accommodates up to five guests, perfect for solo retreats, couples seeking reconnection, or small groups of friends. Every element has been thoughtfully considered to facilitate your journey back to self.

Booking Your Stay

Unlike commercial retreats with rigid schedules and forced interaction, this intimate cabin offers something increasingly rare: unstructured time in a space that feels like a warm embrace.

With only a handful of weekends available each season and a 5 star reviews from previous guests, this opportunity to reconnect with your essential self won't last long.

Reserve your sanctuary experience today and begin your journey back to what matters most.

Testimonials

The cottage was beautiful and well-maintained, surrounded by nature in a peaceful and relaxing environment. Libby was incredibly helpful and accommodating. We highly recommend this place and its wonderful surroundings as the perfect escape from the usual city routine.

– Valeria,

It is a wonderful house in the Woods; communication was great, we had a great stay and we definitely recommend staying there 🙂

– Anita,
stayed at Libby’s home for 6 days from November 4, 2024

Had a beautiful stay at this sweet little home! Libby was communicative and caring (above what we expected!) before, during and even after our stay! The home was clean and tidy and the kitchen was well equipped. We made dinner every night in the kitchen with our own ingredients and all the necessary tools were there to do so. Cast iron, stainless steel and yummy well water are all a welcome sight in my world! The beds were fresh and comfy, the space facilitated connection and it was just a sweet time. Perfect place for walks on country roads and a brunch at Sweet Beet – a fantastic little market and restaurant a mile down the road. Don’t miss this little pocket of goodness for your next getaway.

– Cassie,

Forest Flow exceeded my expectations! Libby’s calm guidance helped me slow down and truly engage with nature. The experience left me feeling calmer and more centered. I highly recommend Forest Flow for anyone seeking a deeper connection with the natural world.
