Item Description

Immerse yourself in a peaceful nature and garden sanctuary. This offering is a one night and one day yurt retreat for up to two people in the mountains of Lincoln, Vermont at Metta Earth Institute.

Metta Earth has a 20' yurt nestled in a forest glade with a view of the mountains and is a beautiful, light filled, circular space. It can be set up for a variety of guest needs, and can be outfitted with a cotton and wool futon double mattress, handmade pillows filled with sheep fleece, and organic sheets and towels. This space also can be provided with 2 meditation cushions, 2 ecoyoga mats, 2 wicker chairs, beeswax candles. At night the yurt paths are lit with solar lamps, but you might like to bring a flashlight as well.

The yurt has a large Jotul wood stove with a view of the fire. Access to bathrooms with hot showers, wireless Internet connection, and phones in the Metta Earth House is included.

Meals are vegetarian and are lovingly prepared with seasonal, local and organic foods. Much of the food comes from our ¾ acre organic garden and farmstead, while the rest is sourced from local organic farmers in our bioregion. We are happy to co-create menus, if desired, and are able to accommodate for many special dietary needs. Three meals for two are included in this offer.

Metta Earth Institute is a Center for Contemplative Ecology and is located in the heart of the Green Mountains in Lincoln on 158 acres of stunningly beautiful land including meadows, forest, gardens, and streams. The Metta Earth Farm includes a small herd of Milking Shorthorn cows, a growing flock of Icelandic sheep, a greenhouse, and chickens. Walking, nearby swimming in a pristine river with waterfalls and deep pools, hiking in the mountains, and biking are all possible recreational activities during your stay.
