Can you believe this was us 10 years ago?
It was Thanksgiving week 2014 when we (Belinda & Peter) officially became the stewards of this magical land in Mount Shasta. It’s been a wild journey of trusting the unknown, embracing so much discomfort and learning what it means to tend to the land through many seasonal cycles of trial and error!
Thank you for being a critical part of Hestia’s magic. We invite you to come on the land and celebrate with us!
Join us for one or both of our 4-night weekends to…
