Your legs will climb mountains, your knots will be soothed, and your nights will be restorative.
‍

Benjamin Fahrer will be a valued guest on this retreat, leading a special workshop, We Are Water: Restoring Relationship, Building Resilience. A farm designer and builder with 25 years of experience in land stewardship, Benjamin was influential in the conception of Aro Ha and the design of its gardens and farm. His work centres on ecological assistance and the magnetism of water: how it flows across the land and how to design in harmony with it.
‍

Through talks and a site walk, Benjamin will invite you to watch water travel across the land and learn to move with intention. You’ll explore the core principles of working with nature, growing food, stewarding land, and building bioregional sanctuaries. No farming experience needed, just an open mind and heart.
‍

If you’re ready to immerse yourself in the full Aro Ha retreat experience, while gaining a deeper understanding of the land, the water, and your own relationship to both, this offering is for you.
