Our property is a work in progress! Aren’t we all works in progress?!
We offer services outside on our family’s 200+ year old land or in our renovated mechanic shop because these days, we all need more sunlight, fresh air, dirt and trees for our psychological and physiological wellbeing. Be more you by joining our group activities, fitnessing fun, leisure activities, and educational events.
Our sophisticated ways of living with technology are burdensome to our innate connection to the Earth. Collectively, we feel more anxious, depressed, isolated, or alone. The culture of instant gratification blinds us to our mental, emotional, and physical needs garnered only in the wilderness of vast open spaces, slower pace, animal sounds, human connection, and rites of passage.
We’re looking for people who want to do what they do best! Or maybe you need to rent space for an event. This homestead is created to be shared. We can’t serve the community on the grand scale we want all alone, we need leaders and experts like you guiding, teaching, and hosting! Learn more.

Colleen and Waylon are a dating app success story. They knew it was forever after a few weeks of dating and shared the common vision of working for themselves, on the same property they lived, in the woods.
They were in luck! Waylon’s property was ripe for a business venture as his father’s old mechanic shop had been sitting unused for a decade. It was time to breathe life back into it!

Colleen’s wisdom about the female body and it’s needs during fertility and pregnancy gave me the guidance that I needed to start believing in myself again after a very long and hard road. – Raeanne, Mom of 2

“I can attest to the fact that Colleen is a passionate speaker and a treasure chest of women’s health knowledge. Her focus on helping women prepare their bodies physically for the experiences of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum is both intriguing and incredibly important for women during their childbearing year, as well as for the birth workers who support them.”
