At The Florrest, we enjoy high-quality water straight from our 700+ ft deep well. Naturally filtered by Earth, our water is further enhanced with a spin filter system with purge and a reverse osmosis system in both kitchens. Beyond the technical process, we set intentions for purity and healing, ensuring the water is not only refreshing but also energetically nourishing.
Yes, you are welcome to bring in your own facilitators for the day, including yoga teachers, bodyworkers, or other practitioners. We simply ask that you inform us in advance and have each facilitator sign a waiver so we're aligned and aware of who will be on the property. This helps us maintain a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for everyone.
The Florrest is designed to host up to 15 guests for overnight stays. In the unlikely case that you anticipate needing additional accommodations, here are three options to consider:
Offsite Lodging – You’re welcome to book additional housing nearby through Airbnb or other local rentals to support any overflow guests. These bookings are fully coordinated by you.
Tent Camping / Glamping – You may choose to work with a glamping company to set up tents on the property. If you go this route, please connect with us before confirming any bookings so we can approve the setup location and the number of additional guests. All on-site overnight stays must be pre-approved.
Hiring Local Collaborators – If you’re bringing in facilitators, chefs, or support staff who are local to the area, you’re welcome to do so without needing to provide them housing on-site.
Whatever you decide, we ask that you keep us informed so everything remains in alignment with the land and the flow of your retreat. We’re here to support a smooth and intentional experience.
