Take Time for You
From the moment you are greeted at the dock you'll know that this is not your typical retreat. You've entered a whole new world -- this is real life for us -- we thrive on living the wild Alaska life and sharing it with our visitors: our family, and our friends, and our guests... you! What if the retreat you attend in 2025 could set the tone for extraordinary years ahead?
Imagine a place where you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with your inner self—an opportunity to reset your intentions and revitalize your mind and body. Imagine doing this in Alaska. Step into Alaska life while taking time to meditate, journal, recharge, eat healthfully and sleep restfully.

In Alaska, I found a wilderness that touched my soul and filled me with awe and reverence for the natural world.

Hello, we are Bryan and Trees Holland. We spent the past five years living on a sailing catamaran. In 2022 we sailed her up the inside passage and discovered Alaska. We spent that summer anchoring in spectacular, secluded anchorages, winding our way through fjords full of whale, seal, otters and fish. We loved it so much we came back the next summer. We invited friends and family to share in the wonder, beauty and discovery of Alaska. It captured our hearts. In 2023 we found ourselves in Hoonah doing a major boat repair.
From the moment we set foot on the soil of Hoonah we felt the energy of a very special space. As opportunity arose, we purchased a cabin and a lodge with the intent of sharing what we love about Alaska in a transformative environment.
The Tlingit people who live here let us all harvest from their traditional lands. We are ever grateful for their grace and goodwill. Their culture practices such care in the way the land is used, and they practice a spirit of wealth through giving that should be the envy of every American." - Mark Browning
Bryan and Trees have been partners for nearly 40 years. They have raised four amazing kids, shared a real estate business, sailed the seas on our catamaran and served on the board and as retreat leaders for a non-profit in Africa.
