A 2-Night / 3-Day New Year Wellness Retreat

Step into the new year with intention. The Dry Reset — a rejuvenating Dry January weekend designed to restore your body, calm your mind, and reconnect you with what truly matters —without the noise or the numbing.

Over two nights and three inspiring days, you’ll move through breath, stillness, and intention — with nourishing meals, guided yoga, and mindful experiences that awaken energy, clarity, and joy for the year ahead.

Trevor Grant

Trevor Grant has been performing his magical SoundEscapes sound journeys here at Nature Space Resort since we opened. Trevor says "I have been fascinated by sound for as long as I can remember, be it the wind in the trees, a metal railing echoing in a great hall, a rock band in full flight or the most delicate tap of a cymbal, it all speaks to me. As a percussionist I get to explore and release all sorts of frequencies, from primal beats of a drum to the gentle sparkle of tiny bells, Adding the breath of wooden flutes creates a palette of sounds that allow for a full range of expression. For me, music is a multi-sensory experience, something that is not only heard, but felt. My hope for my SoundEscape sessions is for people to experience sound and music in a deeper more attentive way than usual and to bring attention to the important role our sonic environment can play in our daily lives."

Charlene McFadden
