My Why

The Short Version:

I created must love nature because I know intimately how spending time in nature restores clarity, emotional regulation, and self-trust. Loving nature taught me how to love myself — and I believe that when people are given enough space in the natural world, they remember who they are. This retreat was born out of my relationship to and reverence for nature and rest.

The Long Version:

must love nature exists to offer a glimpse of what becomes possible when the noise of modern life is removed. I believe people deserve space to slow down — space to think clearly, feel fully, and reconnect with themselves.

Where you rest without guilt.
Where your nervous system settles.
Where your thoughts stretch out.
Where nature reminds you that ease is not laziness — it’s design.

The goal isn’t to convert anyone to a new lifestyle.

It’s gentle exposure.

A few days of clarity.
A few days of simplicity.
A few days of remembering that tenderness is possible, ease is attainable.

I want guests to visit this retreat to rest and get clear. I want them to leave renewed, restored, more aligned.

And hopefully:

They walk a little taller.
Laugh a little louder.
Move through life a little lighter.

It’s experiences like this that plants a seed. One that grows long after they return home.
