The Lotus is a 30-foot yurt wrapped in Persian rugs, resting at the edge of the woods on 11 acres of land held by protected forest. It sits in a circle of trees, placed there before we understood what the land already knew.
Once, this circle was a burn pit. Now the shifts happen in The Lotus: a center that sits at the intersection of art, wellness, and transformation. Devoted to brave conversations and turning what was discarded into what can nourish.
On the outskirts of the property is a fire pit that anchors gatherings under open sky. A heart-shaped pool reflects light and laughter. An herbal garden, grown from seed and seedling, tended with care. A cottage and a reimagined school bus “E Street shuttle” offer shelter.
These all are held within the quiet intelligence of the woods.
“What can I say about this beautiful place?
It is a refuge, a sanctuary in a world that needs it so badly.
It is a truly remarkable place in the middle of the woods that represents so much of what community can be and how we can take care of each other.”
~ Abby Sher

“The Lotus is a special place where magic, healing, laughter, and release can simultaneously occur. Krissy, one of my most favorite and skilled practitioners, created a space that is both beautiful and functional. I can't wait until my next visit!”
~ Shelley Bliss



“I sat in The Lotus for one dark starry night and burned my worries away.
The space is beautiful. It embraces and also sets you free.”

“Some people think that in order to be happy they must avoid all suffering, and so they are constantly vigilant, constantly worrying.
They end up sacrificing all their spontaneity, freedom, and joy.”
