About Us
Tree of Life Farm is a non-profit organization pending 501(c)(3) status devoted to providing a transformative sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Nestled in the heart of nature, our farm is more than just a retreat—it is a sacred space where individuals can reconnect with the earth, rejuvenate their spirit, and deepen their sense of community. Through a rich blend of farm-to-table meals, educational & holistic retreats, and sound healing practices, we create an environment that nurtures the mind, body, and soul.
More About Us
Our retreats are thoughtfully designed to offer more than a simple getaway—they are an invitation to embrace a holistic lifestyle grounded in wellness, sustainability, creativity, and personal growth. Guests enjoy delicious, nourishing vegan and vegetarian meals, much of it crafted from our own organically grown produce, tended with love and harvested with care while served in harmony with the rhythms of nature. Beyond food, we cultivate an experience of togetherness, where participants are invited to explore the healing power of music, sound, and collective energy, fostering a deep sense of belonging, healing, and community collaboration.
At the Tree of Life Farm, we believe in the profound and transformative power of community. We honor connection in all its forms—from shared meals and group activities to the communal experiences of Sound Baths and Drum Circles. These musical gatherings offer participants a deeply restorative and transcendental experience, using the therapeutic vibrations of sound to bring balance, relaxation, and emotional healing. Whether through the resonating tones of a crystal bowl in a Sound Bath or the rhythmic pulse of the drum in our Circles, music becomes a vessel for healing, self-expression, and connection to the collective consciousness
