I traveled to Earthwell Retreat Center, with my family, for a Mindfulness in Nature, special day…read moreevent. We were joined by our host, Charlie Sutherland (teachercharlie.com), and two other families. The retreat center is definitely off the beaten path, with little signage, but that's exactly what I was hoping for. If you plan to visit, expect dirt paths, rustic housing, and composting toilets (the bathrooms were acceptable, especially considering they were basically large outhouses). The property upkeep; I'm specifically speaking of the area near the little green parking lot, which is where we spent the majority of our time; was absolutely beautiful. There was a small swimming pond that my youngest was instantly drawn to; it had a beach, beach dock, floating dock, paddle boards, paddle boat, and canoe available for use. The nature area, surrounding the pond, was partially cleared to make a short, but peaceful walking path. There is another path off to the side that leads to a larger trail, and clearing, if you need more adventure. While we only visited for an event, they do have cabins to rent, community housing, or even areas to pop a tent. As for actual employees of the resort, I did not have the chance to interact with any of them. We only had our guide, Charlie. He was a fantastic mentor for the mindfulness event, easy to talk to, and he offered examples and descriptions, in such a way, even the young children were able to grasp the basics of the concept. We spent the day enjoying the nature area, and discussing the benefits and techniques of mindfulness. As for Earthwell Retreat itself; the property is beautiful and tucked away. It's not an incredibly large acreage of land, but truly feels like a mini nature escape. If you aren't into the more rustic-type adventures though, this place might not be for you. As for us, we quite enjoyed it.
