Botanica Retreat is a project of the Bioregional Conservancy&Reclamation Trust (BCRT),a registered educational not for profit organization dedicated to the Integration of Light and Land. Healing, coming into a sense of harmony with Self and other assisted by the kingdoms of nature.Play, walk and relax in a food forest of fruit, nut trees, wild edibles and medicinal plants. Breathe the meadows, bathe in a northern forest, along the brook, walk the Medicine Wheel to center, and rejuvenate. Botanica offers tent sites, yurts/yomes and RV spots without hook up's for rent including indoor and outdoor facilities, showers, communal camp fires and a hot drink for breakfast. We are a project in progress, from a run down potato farm to an aspiring center for education and planetary healing. Currently, we are recovering the farm house and adjacent structures with the generous assistance of a group of volunteers and attempt to bring the soil on the land back to life by making the land accessible to a nearby regenerative farmer. This is rich and out of the box experience which we wish to share with those of you who's heart beats for the ways of the Light and Land as one.This site is an insulated, 4-season yurt/yome 20 feet in diameter with wood stove situated on a generous platform near the edge of a wooded pond overlooking the farm with outbuildings, storage facilities and bee stands. The platform is close to a gravel road and can host your camping cook stove with work table, 4 camping chairs with table. It is near by the communal fire place, out house, 100 yards to indoor facilities and hot showers. You may drive your vehicle to the front porch, unload and park your vehicle back in the public parking lot of the property. Potable water is available depending on season due to danger of freezing in the indoor facilities or the at the main building out door spikett during the warmer parts of the year.
