ABOUT

​​​​

This website began as a humble seed of inspiration, originally to clarify intentions and practice accountability toward a dream that's been simmering and evolving for a decade.

 

The latest iteration is:

"The Owl Nest is a wilderness retreat, music venue, wellness center and oasis for hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail. This modern-rustic sanctuary is nestled in the Oregon wilderness." 

​

Here and now in 2025, the expanse of the vision is softening into a peaceful acknowledgement of all that exists within the incredible Central Oregon community...

~ world-class music ~

~ unique hospitality ~

~ access to nature ~

~ spiritual depth ~

~ and so much room yet to grow.

 

An ever-expanding vision does exist (and perhaps always will) but the shift is deciding that the miraculous awareness of life is enough. Contentment is more of an embodied choice than anything to "achieve" in this world. As the river bends, I have endless optimism and am grateful and honored for the opportunity to learn, grow, and cherish life every day. For now, I'm deepening my roots at Left Coast Lodge in Sisters, OR and we're lucky to have each other. 

 

What a gift to be here with you all! 🙏
