Go with the Natural Flow
Our daily flow will shift from being associated with numerical time to the natural light cycle. The first night we will enjoy a bonfire and opening circle after dinner. Then, we will transition away from dependency on modern technology and language, by resting when it is dark and practicing non-verbal communication in the mornings and evenings. Mid-day movement classes and activities will usually involve speaking. We will eat in accordance with our species-specific diet — mainly raw fruits and veggies, leafy greens, coconuts, nuts and seeds. On the final night, we will rekindle the flames and celebrate our return to civilization, rejuvenated and more deeply rooted in our wild nature.

All for the low price of $675 per person. Massage by a professional bodyworker will be available by appointment. Space is limited and already filling up, so make your reservation soon…
