Heartwood Cove
Regeneration | Creativity | Connection.
Heartwood Cove is the next evolution of Heartwood Retreats. The new location is a breathtaking, off-grid sanctuary on a boat-accessible island off the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia. Surrounded by ancient temperate rainforest and the biodiverse waters of the Pacific Ocean, it is a living incubator: a place to reconnect with nature, build community, heal and grow, spark creativity, and model sustainable living for generations to come.

The Path to Heartwood Cove
Over the past five years, we’ve poured our hearts into shaping Heartwood - a thriving retreat and event sanctuary in the forest of the qathet region. We’ve built a dream art studio, a beautiful dining hall and library, a professional music and podcast studio, a media room and pool hall, four cozy guest cabins in the forest, a wood-fired hot tub spa, and an expansive event kitchen and stage - all surrounded by lovingly landscaped grounds, towering cedars, and a cascading waterfall.
Our Next Chapter: Heartwood Cove
We are now inspired to step deeper into service and hosting through the vision of Heartwood Cove - a stunning, boat-access, off-grid ocean side property. With 20+ acres of old-growth forests and pristine coastline, this new property has space to grow! This next evolution will continue to balance hospitality and education, with the heart of our mission rooted in creativity, community, healing, wilderness preservation, and regenerative design.
The Invitation
We are opening the circle for financial backers to join us to bring this vision to fruition:
Non-equity contributions help secure and develop the property.
Backers unlock exclusive membership perks.
No ownership, no liability - just meaningful access, legacy recognition, and the opportunity to co-create something truly extraordinary for generations to come.
Visionary and Founders Path Backing Opportunities
We have larger backer/sponsorship opportunities for those who want to be more deeply involved. If this inspires you, please contact us below. We'd love to connect personally to share more about these options and ideas.

Your Contributions
Your contributions are dedicated to bringing Heartwood’s vision to life - beginning with Heartwood Cove and extending into our wider mission of creating a sanctuary for renewal, art, and ecological learning. In the unlikely event that this specific property is not secured or sustainable, all funds will continue to support the establishment of Heartwood’s retreat vision at an alternative site, ensuring that your gift still builds the future we are creating together.
