Support Our Vision: Contribute to White Heron Retreat & Honey Bee Farm
At White Heron Retreat, we are in the nascent stages of creating a unique sanctuary where personal growth meets nature’s wisdom. Our vision is to support individuals overcoming life’s challenges and will feature a thriving Honey Bee Farm and training center. We are committed to provide 100% pure local wildflower honey extracted and bottled on site. We invite you to participate.
Why Your Contribution Matters
Build a Haven for Healing and Renewal:
Your contributions will directly support the construction of our immersive training facility, outdoor gathering spaces, nature paths, and greenhouses where individuals can rest and rejuvenate in a nurturing environment. Guests will embark on personal journeys of transformation, finding the strength to reconcile the past and embrace the future.
Foster a Sustainable Future with Our Honey Bee Farm:
Integral to our retreat is The Honey Bee Farm, a vital component in supporting the health of our local ecology. Your contribution will help to provide hands-on educational opportunities for all levels of instruction and age groups. Our Master Bee Keeper has worked and taught in the tri-county region for almost 20 years.
Promote Holistic Well-being: By investing in our vision, you help us offer diverse programs that blend spiritual healing with practical life skills. Our retreat will provide creative workshops and activities that address overcoming adversity, work-life balance, and personal growth, all supported by the tranquil backdrop of nature and the gentle hum of bees. This is a place where new friends are made.
