SUPPORT THE SANCTUARY
Tend the Land. Support the Practice.
Every part of this landscape — from gathering spaces to quiet trails — plays a role in welcoming others into relationship with nature. Your donation directly supports the infrastructure needed to offer forest therapy programs in a safe, accessible, and meaningful way.
RESTORE THE BARN
Goal: $60,000
A space for shelter. A place to gather. A home for healing in all seasons.
This simple 1970s barn is being thoughtfully restored to become the first dedicated, year-round forest therapy sanctuary in Central Ohio. With your support, this structure will evolve into a warm and weather-ready space for gatherings, retreats, and nature-based healing programs.
Restoration will make it possible to welcome more participants each year, offer new programming, and host deeper seasonal immersion — even in rain, cold, or heat. The space will also function as a workshop and product studio, supporting handmade offerings connected to the land.
Your gift helps root this vision into place — turning a quiet structure into a living center of care, connection, and resilience.
DONATE TO THE TEA HOUSE
Goal: $10,000
A place to pause. A ritual of warmth. A quiet corner for connection.
The tea house will be a simple, intentional structure nestled into the land—created as a space for reflection, integration, and gentle gathering before and after forest therapy walks. Rooted in the tradition of tea as ceremony, it will offer a grounding place to sip, settle, and be present.
In the near term, this small space will also serve as a welcoming shelter for our walks—offering protection from rain, cold, or heat while the larger barn is being restored. It ensures we can continue gathering in comfort through every season.
Over time, it will deepen each experience, creating space for rest, seasonal ritual, and connection. It will also support small group gatherings and the sharing of locally inspired teas and handcrafted offerings connected to the forest.
Your gift helps bring this vision to life—creating a sanctuary for stillness, nourishment, and meaningful connection in nature.
