Misha
Farm rhythms, wellness, and community
A retreat at Misha brings farm life into the picture: Gingerhill Farm Retreat is a five-acre working landscape shaped by regenerative growing, with a food forest at its heart. The emphasis is on health and community, and guests can join daily routines and celebrations alongside international visitors and local residents. A yoga studio and fitness center make room for movement, while a shared kitchen and coffee and tea are among the practical comforts. Food preferences are unusually well covered, with vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, Ayurvedic, organic, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free options listed, as well as meals that include meat. The setting suits a retreat built around wellbeing and time outdoors rather than a clearly defined meditation lineage. Retreats are paid, with rates starting at USD 1,997. Ask the host which dates, meals and activities are included in a particular stay.
