The Paths Available:

It is well known at this point that we are facing an epidemic of loneliness. So much so that the UK and Japan both have a Minister of Loneliness and numerous Scandinavian countries are experimenting with communal housing. Third Spaces” (that are not home or work, like town squares and pubs) are on the decline and we now expect the internet to do all the work when it comes to building community. But real community necessitates physical presence. Our friends are the people with whom we breathe together. Social media actually worsens our loneliness by presenting unrealistic ideals and reminding us how alone we are. It is time to re-embrace physical community and the healing that comes with it.
We are social mammals and being alone means being frightened and insecure. That core insecurity, and the fear and sadness that comes with it are often misunderstood as individual dysfunction and given diagnoses and medical treatments: treating the symptoms rather than the core problem. The Place will provide you the opportunity to be embraced by a community, guided by wise elders, that will allow you to feel the safety and connection that is necessary for healing and growth. The Place will remind you of the importance of connection, help you relearn how to be in relationship with the world, and provide you with the tools to build a life that feels real.

Steeped in the rich history of Western Psychology and Eastern Philosophy, The Place’s unique approach represents the next stage in our understanding of human needs and health. Balance and harmony are the goal rather than the reductionist approach to “managing symptoms” or treating a particular “mental illness” that has become the primary modality for most treatments both in and outpatient. We focus on the whole person, body, mind and soul, embracing behavioral, mental and spiritual approaches that will help you find YOUR OWN harmony and balance. Nutritionists and medical professionals will work with psychologists and embodiment teachers from a variety of disciplines to help you become the expert on what you need to be well. We use holistic deprescribing to help you re-imagine your relationship to what goes into your body and how it affects you. You will take charge of your own care and feel empowered by your new-found understanding of yourself.

Our evolutionary model will provide you with  the opportunity to learn from and work directly with the best healers from around the world. Humanity is diverse, our needs full of variety, and the pathways to healing and self discovery plentiful. The providers that join our community, whether temporarily or for the long run, are all deeply passionate about this work and thus, deeply passionate about you. They will be your therapists, your guides, your mentors, your role models, your partners in this journey. From nutrition and psychiatry to therapeutic modalities ranging from IFS and EMDR to art therapy and embodied movement, we have an eclectic and complimentary assortment of offerings for you to choose from.

The land is the container for everything we do and every aspect of its design is intentional. We’ve developed an optimized and sustainable organic farm, and the placement of all of our facilities are a model of the human form - from head, to gut, to toes. We borrowed from many traditions to design spaces cognizant of energy, air flow, calm, creativity, and more. Each space is its own chamber for inner growth, including rooms that change daily to rooms that you can always count on looking the same. Focusing on luxury, light, nature, and comfort, the spaces across the property are hand designed and manufactured by us, for you.
