Since 2014, Hestia has been responding to a simple call from the land: When we return to the earth, we return to ourselves.
We steward two nature retreat sanctuaries, one rooted in the ancient forests and sacred waters of Mount Shasta, California, the other blooming on a Kona coffee farm on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Each place was created as a sanctuary where the boundary between the human and the wild softens again.
We welcome those who feel the need to slow down, rest deeply, and reconnect with something older and wiser than the pace of modern life. Whether you come for a weekend retreat, a personal sabbatical or a full season, the land is here to hold you.
The only question is how you feel called to arrive.
Come for rest and stay for transformation.
Meet our Sacred Lands
FOUNDED IN 2014mOUNT SHASTA, CALIFORNIA
Bring precise clarity, alignment, and grounding to your visions & desires
Known as the root chakra of the earth, Mount Shasta is revered for centuries by the Wintu, Shasta, and Karuk peoples. Ten acres of enchanted hemlock, Ponderosa pine, and cedar forest, laced with a healing creek that flows year-round. A powerful constellation of meditation and spiritual retreat spaces, crafted from the land itself. The kind of quiet that reorganizes you from the inside.
FOUNDED IN 2025PALIULI FARM, Big Island, HAWAI’I
Savor the abundance of fertile soil while learning to tend to it responsibly
Paliuli is the Hawaiian name for the Garden of Eden — a place of abundance, beauty, and primordial belonging. Our ten-acre Kona coffee farm and botanical sanctuary is one of the most beautiful settings for a spiritual retreat in Hawai’i. Ocean views, cacao, wild tropical fruit, and spinner dolphins in the bay below. The fertile alchemy of soil and fire, tended with reverence.
"When I crossed over the bridge, it felt as though the old world fell behind and I entered into pure magic. The sounds of the river were so soothing — everyone slept well and had fascinating dreams."
— Amelia, group retreat guest · Mount Shasta
