Below you can explore the amenities available during your stay.

HARMONY HIVE

The event dome is inspired by oneness

"When we come together in harmony, we can celebrate our full expression."

Welcome to the galaxy! Step into this large event dome and observe your reactions. The acoustics are enveloping and allow guests to feel deeply held and in awe. This space is wonderful for yoga, sound healings, sharing circles, exercise/movement, play, connection, and music!

We offer back-jacks, yoga mats, and blankets for 12 participants. We have cosmo lights which create an additional vibe.

There is a large A/C to support the temperature in the dome; remember that this is NOT a building and is more exposed to the elements. This is a retreat to nature and we move and learn with the weather and mother Earth.

"My experience hosting a 5 day, 4 night retreat at the Florrest was phenomenal! What really sealed the deal for me was receiving support from Mena Teijiero, owner and steward of this beautiful geodesic dome retreat center in Georgia, throughout hosting my first multi-night women’s retreat. She is impeccable with her word and devoted to serving retreat guests to her highest capacity. Everything about the venue was clean, clear and organized for us when we arrived and she was accommodating with my request for a late checkout so we could catch the rare 4/8 Total Solar Eclipse. I cannot wait to return to The Florrest for another retreat in the future! Thank you for a wonderful, life-changing experience!"

-Radha Rose, Sacred Space Retreat

WATER GARDEN

40ft pool with tanning ledge, Hot tub, Sauna (traditional and Infra-red), commercial Cold Plunge, and lounge chairs

Relax around the pool, float into a suntan, read a book, awaken your inner child, listen to your favorite playlist, or simply gather to celebrate another day. The pool is gated for the safety of everyone.

Melt into a 5 person Thermospa with therapeutic benefits: relief from chronic pain, reduce stress and anxiety while improving sleep quality. Dive into The Plunge to reduce inflammation, improve your immunity, and mental clarity (new location: Vibez Wing). Detox and relax in the Sauna (infra-red and traditional, bluetooth sound system).

EL LOUNGE

Live, Love, Laugh

You step out of the domes just as the first light of the day invites the birds to sing. Under the roof of El Lounge, you move together as one through your yoga poses, surrounded by nature's symphony. You sit to have your morning matcha or favorite drink feeling the stillness within you. Later in the day during free time, you hear laughter coming from the ping-pong area as your group allows their inner child to come out and play. At night, if you want a quick fire, you come to this area and light it up.

BAREFOOT PLAYGROUND

Explore and bring natural movement and agility back to the feet

Shoes off! You believe in connecting with the Earth in a playful way; present with each step you take. At the top of the barefoot playground you go on a journey; from rocks, to wood, bamboo, pebbles, grass and sand, to then hang from a ninja course and balance on a slack-line. Guiding your group, you see them become aware of themselves and connect with each other.As they play, laughter abounds and everyone relaxes.

See you at the playground!

FIRE PIT

During dark moments, the stars shine bright inspiring everything under the sky

You experience the brilliance of the stars, remembering how bright they've always been; listening to the sounds of crackling fire and crickets. Feeling grateful that the logs are piled up right by the firepit you look up... There's the big dipper! You allow yourself to receive the energy of the moon and connect to its cycles. Someone in the group brought their guitar and the rest sing along, sipping on hot chocolate (cacao) on a chilly night, sharing stories and adventures, and maybe melting marshmallows into s’mores. Was that a howl?

OM DOME

This transparent dome is our greenhouse! It is built on a hexagonal slab and has solar-powered fans

The intention of it is to experience creation: from seeding intentions to nurturing dreams, and stewarding growth with awareness and wisdom.

Observe what plants are growing in here. Can you name the herbs? Are there any ripe vegetables?

LAWN, TRAILS & BEYOND

Enjoy the natural beauty of Georgia

Beyond the domes... the horizon awaits. There are over 12 miles of trails on the conservation and you decide to take the map on your phone (just in case), yet follow your intuition. 'Slow down', you tell your group. Be open to see... deer, raccoon, turkey, owl, rabbit, turtle, hawk, cardinal, or armadillo! How about the diversity of mushrooms, ferns, poplar trees, oak, pines, and butterflies. What gift did nature have for you?

A few stay to play disc golf, others are playing with a ball, a few took the bikes on the trials. You return to read a book by the willow tree and then set for your next workshop.

Note: during 2023 we released some land on the north side and we are currently opening new exciting trails. We will update the map when those open.
