Escape the noise, reconnect to what matters, and discover a new way of living…
…one rooted in purpose, community, and harmony with the land.
This 7-day permaculture & sustainable living retreat blends the best of two worlds:
(a) A hands-on workshop to learn and grow.
(b) A wellness retreat to reset & recharge.
You’ll learn to grow food and become your own landscape designer and installer, all while enjoying daily yoga and hikes, nourishing meals, and meaningful conversations under the stars.
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a reset.
For your life, your mindset, and your impact on the planet.
You’ve done your best to keep up – with work, with life, with the world.
But somewhere in the swirl of to-do lists and notifications, you’ve lost something.
A sense of calm. A connection to nature. A feeling that you’re on the right path.
You’re not broken…
The systems we live in are.
This eco wellness retreat is a reset of body, mind, and how you see the world.
It’s a week to nourish your health and your hope.
Together, we’ll explore the art of creating a thriving property so you can make not just a landscape, but a lifestyle that supports your well-being instead of draining it. We’ll learn how to combine sustainable living principles with permaculture to build your dream property.
You’ll stretch your body, dig into soil, share meals under the stars, and remember what it means to belong to community, to nature, and to your own vision for the future.

Welcome to the heart of British Columbia’s interior – the Okanagan Valley. The retreat centre is located 30 minutes outside Kelowna at Rich Creek Estate. The location is complete with hot tub, outdoor yoga pad, and a creek running through the property.
Here you will learn, eat, play, and launch to farms for tours and hands-on activities. With hundreds of orchards, vineyards, and acreages, the region is a living classroom for regeneration, resilience, and growing food. This is the perfect place to learn how to live with the land AND have an education-vacation.
From the moment you secure your spot, you’ll be connected with our team to make your stay all it can be. We can assist with:

“This retreat will change the way you look at your life and your world. It will give you a new love for the earth, new hope for humanity, and a lifestyle that grounds you to the land."
I don’t really want to give 5 stars, because that signifies perfection, but I am! This experience was exactly what I needed. Thank you for stoking what has smouldered in my mind for quite a while now.
You have redefined sustainability and given me hope and skills that I didn't realize how much I wanted and needed. My wires have been rewired and I’m now thinking of my grandkids and their children’s being.
Kenton will make you evaluate what is important to YOU, and then show you how to design your own solutions. That skill is invaluable. At the end of the course, you will not only have your best solution and a mentor, but a colleague and friend!
In the face of uncertain times, I saw the need to change my life, so I signed up. I learned things you didn't even know you needed to know! Fun, informative, and immersive... you got yourself a pretty damn good time!!
I have new skills and a new way of looking at the world. How do we build homes? Grow food? Build community? Instead of feeling depressed, I have a place to begin - myself & my backyard - and that fills me with hope.
