Founded by a former tenured graphic design professor who sought the benefits of nature and the forest in this area to rest, reboot, and reimagine creative passion while on sabbatical–transformed into a way of life to support the creative flow for others in any phase of career or life. This hidden oasis features a lovely terrain of rolling foothills of Appalachia with a variety of ecology and interesting geology with access to about 600 ft section of the Buffalo river and rocky river bed. You’ll find the pace of life from morning to the clear night skies in this unique area away from light pollution to be conducive to thinking and making. Make friends with the chickens, donkeys, cats, peafowl couple, black rabbit, or the tripod Pyre. Browse the library full of art, design, architecture, and culture books or meander the trails here or nearby such as the historic Natchez Trace Parkway.
