WHY WE CREATED THE
sky cave
For almost a decade, we retreated in complete solitude into the remote wilderness in Mount Shasta, California and Southern Baja, Mexico.
From that, a deep desire was born to create a sanctuary for both ourselves and other sincere and self-initiated practitioners. Now, enfolded in the quietude and purity of the wild, we are able to offer this.

ABOUT OUR
We have spent over two years in self-guided solo retreats fasting and meditating in the wilderness, over a year at various Goenka Vipassana Centers sitting and serving, and have also done extensive formal retreats with various spiritual teachers and adepts across many different lineages & traditions.
We have done over 70 days in the dark in multiple solo dark retreats and have also done a couple together.
We have been deeply transformed by the profound depth of these dark retreats.
We also have a strong passion for land stewardship, natural building, organic gardening, raising our wild children, and a life immersed in nature’s beauty, simplicity and majesty.
We feel fortunate that we have the opportunity to fuse many of our different passions together – offering these earth-bermed dark retreats, enfolded in the wilderness, while serving retreatants organic food from our seasonal gardens.
To date – we have supported and facilitated over 400 dark retreats.
