"The retreat was truly spectacular. Allie led us on an unforgettable journey, blending magic and mindfulness at every step. We spent a few days preparing before diving into the colorful world of plant-based dye, creating vibrant, natural hues. The experience was as educational and inspiring as it was fun. The setting was a dream—Montana's pristine landscapes offered a rare connection to nature, and the group of people I met have become lifelong friends. I can’t recommend this retreat enough; it’s an experience that will stay with you forever."

"A beautiful blend of retreat and community! This natural plant dye retreat came at the perfect time as I was looking for inspiration to get my creative juices flowing. With lots of workshop time and time to explore nature and build relationships with the other attendees, this experience was lovely. I loved learning about all of the plants we worked with and getting to experiment with the entire process! Allie does a beautiful job of creating a nurturing and relaxed yet full experience."

-Eva, 2024 retreat attendee

"I'm still glowing from the amazing 4 days of gorgeous, comfortable living and learning all about botanical dyeing. Our hosts went above and beyond to supply beautifully prepared meals and tranquil lodgings. We had a darling watercolor box of paints, notebook and handouts ready for us to delve into our study. Allie's instruction is exceptional: thorough, tried and true, well-documented, perfectly paced and digestible. Every day we savored time in the sauna, swimming in the creek, picking wild flowers, relaxing and getting to know our fellow artists and travellers. I made wonderful friends and am so grateful for the whole experience! I highly recommend this exact retreat for anyone, any age, any skill level."

Tucked within 80 acres of quiet land, this light-filled cedar farmhouse offers a rare sense of privacy and ease. A place where firelight glows in the evening, meals unfold beneath open skies, and time slows to the rhythm of nature. Wander fields by moonlight, paddle across your own pond, rinse under the open-air shower, and gather by the fire as stars emerge overhead. With coastal trails and town just moments away, this peaceful retreat holds a truly magical, memorable energy—inviting rest, creativity, and deep connection to the land.
