You didn't come into this world. You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean. You are not a stranger here.
Alan Watts
This is a space to return to the simple, grounded sweetness of being — an invitation to gather, unwind, move, breathe, rest your feet in the soft soil and tend the inner landscape of You.

space
Hidden in the hills of the Driftless Zone, The Willows is a farmhouse, a nature nest, and a home for healing. This land has been filled with love by a Pakistani-American family for three generations. The house holds its 19th-century charm and has been adorned with colorful art and stories from around the world. The wonders of The Willows include sprawling forests, horses, gardens, a huge library, cozy corners, tree swings and hammocks, a spacious indoor yoga room, and big wise willows.
rooms
There are queen bedrooms in the main house and the separate cottage. All bedrooms have shared bathrooms with showers and access to the outdoor shower on the balcony. There is also space in the yard for those who would like to tent. The Willows is earthy and artful, and all of the bedrooms have a unique charm.
food
Our team is full of food and herb nerds and we are passionate about nourishing bodies well! There will be lemon water and a snack before practice in the mornings along with three home-cooked, whole-food meals every day. Please inform us of dietary restrictions when you book so we can accommodate.
