About Us
“If you don’t have mental health, you don’t have health.”
We believe that mental health is a priority for quality of life, participation in society and that mental health is worth working for. We are a group of individuals with an interest in supporting mental health through a unique combination of healing and education that makes nature an essential part of thriving. We are working to create an effective mental health program that brings together several healing modalities in a community environment.

Time Out
Take a Time Out
To transform
Like a dragonfly
Gently surrounded by earth and sky
Take a Time Out
To feel safe
Held in the container of your being
Connected to the land, yourself and others
Take a Time Out
To this intimate, restful setting
Encouraged to Grow
Let go of delusions and old selves
Take a Time Out
To rediscover forgotten pieces
Ignite curiosity
Try new art forms and develop skills
Take a Time Out
To Remember who you are
Return with new eyes
