Immerse yourself in the wild imagination of an ancient rainforest and dream with us. Rain(for)rest is a retreat all about rest & relaxation, wild dreams and rejuvenation.
Wander amongst 300 acres of towering oldgrowth forest. Be nourished with Ayurvedic meals lovingly prepared and based on the season. Unwind in our cedar bath house on the river—complete with cedar hot tub, sauna and a claw foot bath tub for cold soaks. Drift downstream to the gurgle of the creek and return to the dayworld refreshed.
Participate in a range of optional wellbeing activities over the course of the retreat (see schedule below) designed to help you slow down and relax, care for yourself and explore the depths of your imagination. You are invited to participate in as many or as few of these offerings as you wish. We want you to listen to what your soul craves, whether that is authentic community, solitude in nature or simply radical rest.
