Disconnect from the distractions of everyday life, and set aside usual tasks and responsibilities to instead rest, relax, unwind, and connect. Recharging your body and mind as you immerse yourself in this full-day guided retreat.
Join us…
Unwind and reconnect with a day of yoga and meditation and a trip to the botanical garden, organic farm, and sandy beach. We’ll practice yoga, enjoy a fresh organic farm-to-table lunch, and learn about regenerative organic farming

End the day at the beach with a panoramic sunset view.

About the Ecology Center
For more than 100 years, industrial agriculture has promised us more food at greater convenience and lower cost—but the true cost was the health of people, animals, and the planet we all call home. Synthetic fertilizers and pesticides that destroy the soil biome, pollute oceans, and leave toxic residue on our food are only the beginning. The practices of industrial agriculture lead to loss of genetic diversity in our crops and foodways, foster dangerous and inequitable conditions for workers, and contribute significantly to climate change.
We have seen a better way. Our farm’s Regenerative Organic Certification™ represents the set of agricultural and business practices we follow based on traditional principles of collective land stewardship, using the mutually supportive relationships found in nature to nourish humans, plants, and soil. This rigorous model focuses on the long-term health of the land rather than short-term profits, giving us an opportunity to prove the power of giving more than we take to cultivate sustainable abundance for all.
Our holistic approach integrates the incubation of the next generation of agricultural, culinary, and educational leaders with the creation of a vibrant community resource and gathering place to inspire all. We recognize and honor the interdependence among the functions of these four pillars within our village. The way Grow, Eat, Make and Peace touches all that happens here is part of the magic.
