This is not a schedule packed escape...
​
Wild & Well is an invitation to move with the living rhythm of Sitka’s land and sea, where learning, adventure, and rest naturally rise and fall like the tides. Guided by local knowledge, cultural stories, and time spent in forest and water, you’ll experience Alaska not as a checklist, but as a place that teaches through presence.
Gentle daily practices, nourishing food, outdoor exploration, and mindful makings create a steady pulse throughout the days. Moments of awe and movement are balanced with pauses for rest, reflection, and quiet connection. As the island sets the pace, the body softens, the mind clears, and energy returns without force.
This retreat is intentionally spacious, honoring the ebb and flow of island life. There is room to explore, to learn, to wander, to slow down, or simply to be. Nothing is mandatory. Everything is an offering.

Your Home On The Bay
Our home base is a tucked away forest cabin overlooking Thimbleberry Bay surrounded by trees, water, and the kind of stillness Alaska does best. Majestic eagles doing fly-bys, the occasional boat passing, and the changing light on the bay are part of everyday life here. Mornings arrive with ease, evenings soften as the tide turns. There is room for togetherness, and room to slip away when needed.
​
This is a comfortable, lived-in space where the pace naturally slows. The big windows frame the water, so you're always connected to what's happening outside. After a day out on the water or exploring town, you'll come back ready to exhale and enjoy a delicious nourishing meal shared around the table, curl up with a book, settle into a puzzle, get creative at the craft table, or just watch the tide roll in.
​
The cabin has shared rooms, cozy common areas, a private dock, hot tub, and a covered deck that's perfect for lounging and having a warm cuppa or a glass of wine. Beachcomb along the shoreline then warm up around the outdoor firepit as the light fades.
​
Your retreat hosts will be staying nearby, keeping the cabin peaceful and guest-centered throughout your time here.
