lopez island
a fall REtreat
October 2nd - 4th, 2026
About this experience
There’s no place like the San Juan Islands - let's explore the beauty of these islands by the Salish Sea that we call home! Enjoy a tranquil and wholesome weekend on Lopez Island at a peaceful farm stay as we step into fall.
Our fall retreat includes energizing and grounding practices with Mariana, daily sauna time, an astrology and a writing workshop led by other island creatives, accommodation and locally sourced meals throughout your stay.
Take time to slow down and enjoy the calm surroundings, hang out with the farm animals, explore the nearby trails, sunbathe or cool down by the pond.
UPDATE: The retreat is now FULL. I am truly sorry I cannot accommodate everyone at this time. I am already planning two weekend retreats for next year to ensure everyone who wants to join has the opportunity. Please join the waitlist.

Our location
Midnight’s Farm sits on a 100‑acre diversified property with pastures, a pond, a market garden, a composting site, and a large barn. It is much more than a working farm - it's a regenerative hub offering high-quality meat and produce, ecological innovation, educational experiences, and a quiet, immersive retreat in the stunning Lopez Island.
To create a deeper connection to nature and our surroundings we will be camping on the farm’s expansive property near the sunny fields by the pond and the private yoga studio. Option to borrow camping gear is available upon request. For those who desire a more comfortable yet still rustic feel, the farm offers a charming 2‑bedroom, 1‑bath guest house (2 queens + 1 twin) that can operate as housing for up to 5 guests- with the option to share this accommodation with a friend, partner, or other participants.
