About Us

The southern view at Elkenmist

Our Story

Elkenmist is a lush green forested farm land where elk and mist invite humans to become alchemists. Or at least to transform some of their baggage into beauty and transmute some of their garbage into gardens.

The humans here aspire to symbiotic relationships with the land, plants, animals, mushrooms and each other.

We invoke intention through time and patterns that rhyme to bring the bounty of the beautiful world we all know is possible.

We let go of what no longer serves us. On good days. When we are feeling brave.

We welcome enthusiasm of all kinds to emblazon its wild fire in the hearts of all those who have wood to burn.

We attune to techniques of ecstasy that we may harmonize with our purpose and resonate with our higher selves.

We drink water from a spring, fresh from the ground with gratitude.

We sweat offerings in the sauna and cold plunge our bodies that we may temper our being.

The creek at Elkenmist

Come through the mists, to Elkenmist.

On over 100 acres of farmed & forested land abutting national forest, Elkenmist is a back to the land community based on permaculture, personal growth, and modern animism.

We are a community of humans, sheep, chickens, horses, cats, and sometimes pigs, cows, turkeys, guinea fowl, llamas, and others. We share the land with native creatures, and visitors who wish to Connect.

We host public & private events and retreats, small & large groups. Contact us for more info!
