At the heart of our mission, Nicole and Joe are dedicated to fostering harmony between people and nature. Through transformative off-the-grid experiences, sustainable floriculture, and immersive art, we create spaces designed to inspire connection, reflection, and creativity.
Our dome rental, permaculture practices, meditative consulting, and open-air gallery offer a sanctuary where individuals can unplug, recharge, and rediscover their place in the natural world. Guided by principles of sustainability, beauty, and community, we strive to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the earth and its rhythms, empowering others to live more intentionally and in tune with the environment.
From a peaceful retreat in our off-the-grid dome to hands-on learning about permaculture, a reflective vision quest, or an exploration of art in our open-air gallery, we offer a chance to disconnect, unwind, and reconnect with nature and creativity—inviting you to find balance and inspiration in the natural world.
Joe is an entrepreneur, community engagement advocate, and passionate permaculturist dedicated to fostering sustainable practices and land preservation. Currently, he serves as a part-time member of the Solebury Township Land Preservation team, working alongside local residents, government officials, and conservationists to identify properties for conservation. Through monthly meetings and strategic recommendations, Joseph plays a key role in preserving the natural beauty and biodiversity of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His work in land conservation is a testament to his belief in the importance of protecting and sustaining the environment for future generations.
In addition to his conservation efforts, Joseph is a real estate investor with over a decade of experience. Since 2014, he has been self-employed in this capacity, bringing a creative approach to property investment while also focusing on sustainability and community-oriented initiatives. His role as a contractor with Bennett Compost further reflected his commitment to agriculture and food systems, where he worked with a team dedicated to growing food, maintaining gardens and orchards, and providing opportunities for incarcerated individuals to gain valuable skills as they reintegrate into the workforce.
Joseph’s diverse background also includes training in Gestalt practices through the Pennsylvania Gestalt Center, where he focused on personal growth, reflective listening, and workshop leadership. He has worked as a psychiatric rehabilitation counselor at Project Transition, where he provided individual counseling and support to individuals in need. With a holistic approach to community engagement, land preservation, and sustainable agriculture, Joseph continues to make meaningful contributions to his community and the world around him.
