Expansive Wildlife Viewing & Nature Healing

Bathed in light and covered with wildflowers in spring, with views of distant hills and wide open sky.

Bird Watching

Red-tailed Hawks and Golden Eagles drift in wide circles overhead while White-tailed Kites hover and stoop for rodents. Lesser Goldfinches cling to grass stalks while they nibble on seeds, while Swallow-tail Butterflies flutter by searching for nectar. Fawns cavort in the grass as their mothers watchfully graze, and Wild Turkey families amble along the edges foraging for food.

Diverse Forests & Botanical Surroundings

Douglas Iris, Blue-eyed Grass, Suncups, and are but a few of the wildflowers that decorate our meadows in spring. Young deer have been seen running and frolicking on the meadows and domestic animals such as sheep, yaks, or horses have grazed.

Ecological Retreat Property

Seasonally available for swimming and floating, the pond is bordered by live oak, black oak, native California blackberry, and a large Weeping Willow. Floating water lilies flower during warm months. One of the oaks by the pond supports large clumps of mistletoe, an important winter food source, and shelter for the Western Bluebirds that flash about in iridescent plumage.

Duck families often vacation while floating on the water. Black Phoebes dart out from the Weeping Willow to snatch insects from the air, while a Green Heron fishes along the shore. The pond is also a favorite haunt of river otters that hump their way up from the creek looking something to eat, and then entertain us with their undulations. Dragonflies patrol the pond borders all day in brilliants reds and blues, and frogs sing to us at night while we soak in the nearby hot tub.

When we nourish our feminine, we bring new consciousness to the collective.
