The forest is already doing
half the work.

See availability →The land is the setting.
Forty acres of Carolinian forest — old-growth oaks, wild ferns, a meadow, and a creek. Forest bathing, trail meditation, and outdoor practices are built into the geography here. No set dressing required.
Space to breathe.
Participants can move between indoor and outdoor settings, arrive quietly, and leave in their own time. The land holds whatever the group brings.
The right scale for intimate work.
Best for groups of 5–20. Small enough that each person gets real attention. Large enough for circle work, partner practices, and breakout sessions across multiple spaces.
Best for
- Yoga teachers and movement facilitators running multi-day programs
- Wellness groups wanting a private forest setting for somatic or breathwork retreats
- Practitioners running 8–20 person programs over 1–3 days
- Groups where the natural environment (forest, trails, fire pit) is part of the healing context
Not ideal for
- Groups of more than 20
- Retreats expecting Fernwood to provide facilitation, therapists, or programming staff
- Events needing a pool, fitness equipment, or spa facilities

The Land
The outdoor spaces are part of the program.
Forest trails
Winding paths through undisturbed Carolinian woodland — old oaks, wild ferns, and deep quiet.
Meadow
An open meadow with long views and natural light — good for outdoor practice, grounding exercises, or afternoon rest.
Creek
Seasonal ponds running through the property — accessible by trail, ideal for quiet sitting or walk-and-talk sessions.
The Food
Manna by Fernwood Hills — in-house food prepared in a simple, thoughtful way that fits the scale and feel of your day. Seasonal menus, family-style or buffet service. No fixed price list — menus and pricing are worked out as part of your booking. We can accommodate vegetarian and some other dietary preferences; just mention it when you inquire. Outside caterers are welcome too — bring your own, no corkage. About Manna →
Overnight Retreats
Stay the night. Go deeper.
Multi-day and overnight wellness retreats are possible by combining the day program spaces with overnight cabin stays — up to 8 guests. Evening practices around the fire, morning movement in the forest, a slower pace throughout. Ask about overnight add-ons when you inquire.
