Welcome to the Wellness in the Woods Community Hub

Part retreat space, part community experience, full nature immersion

Experience the true essence of nature in our simple, shared living space.

At Wellness in the Woods, we believe in stripping away distractions and modernization to embrace the natural world.

Our cozy, rugged home provides a warm and safe base, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the surrounding forest and water.

Here, simplicity becomes a pathway to profound connection with the wild. 

🍃 What Is the Community Hub?

The Wellness in the Woods Community Hub is both a physical space and a living experiment in aligning life to nature’s rhythms.  

While not a short-term rental, it serves as the home base for Angela Herzog’s trauma-informed offerings, including her 4-tiered Soul-O Retreats, forest walks, somatic sessions, and women’s circles.

🌱 A Shared Eco-System

 A tree thrives in a forest. So can your soul.

The intricate interplay of all living systems within a forest teaches us how to be in relationship.

That’s why the Wellness in the Woods Community Hub is creating an intentional shared living space.

We believe that part of recovering from the toxicity of productivity culture is remembering how to be in community in a way that feels safe and reciprocal.

Shared space invites deeper conversations, teamwork, and respectful awareness: of how to listen, how to share, and how to simply rest and be, side by side.

Just like the forest, we thrive on interconnection and reciprocity.

🌿 Find your place of belonging within the hub’s shared eco-system.

🏡 The Space:
Simple, Shared & Soulful

For retreat guests, it’s not about luxury or polish. It’s about returning to the wild and joining a shared eco-system.

🛏️ Two guest rooms (double + queen beds)
⛺ Tent space for nature lovers
🍳 Shared kitchen + bathroom
🌊 Water access just across the road (Lake Kagawong — a great swim spot!)
🔥 Shared fire pit + cozy porch (perfect for sitting, reading, or outdoor meals)
🛶 Two basic kayaks available
🅿️ Free parking for vehicles + boat trailers
🌿 10-min drive to Bridal Veil Falls
🚢 1 hour from the Chi-Cheemaun Ferry
🐾 Two sweet, friendly cats live on site (cat lovers welcome!)

We ask that you bring your own linens, towels, and food and arrive with the same spirit of kindness you’d bring to a friend’s cabin.

🌿 What Makes It Special?

✔ A quiet alternative to resorts or commercial Airbnbs
✔ Wild Nature all around: trees, trails, night skies, lake
✔ Optional somatic support or  guided forest walk add-ons
✔ Flexible visits, from one night to a few days
✔ Sliding-scale pricing to keep it accessible

This isn’t about checking in and checking out.
It’s about re-wilding your soul.

💭 A Note from Angela

“This space is the fruition of a vision I’ve held for years, not just as a therapist, but as a white woman learning how to live in right relationship with land, seasons, and others. I’m opening this intentional space so people can return to the simplicity of the wild. This is my experiment in community, re-wilding and reciprocity, and you’re invited.”
