Retreat Leaders
Natalie Cutsforth
An Intuitive reader, healer, mentor and facilitator of life changing transformation with clients all over the world, Natalie make mystical practices accessible, teaching energy awareness and sacred ritual while weaving in her unique understanding of the divine mysteries. She’s also a lavender farmer who deeply believes in doing her part to care for the Earth. Let her help you decode your inner-mysteries, and activate your vision to add meaning to your soul path. She hold retreats because intentional time of self-care while listening to your inner-guidance stimulates profound ah-ha moments and leads to deeper life fulfillment. This is the inaugural retreat on her farm which she purchased in 2017 and took possession of immediately after the Total Solar Eclipse that directly passed over this property. Her partner and her have worked hard to heal the land from neglect and now it’s time to share it with you. Expect to be on a working farm with rugged and beautiful aspects.

ABOUT THE FARM
In Natalie’s words, “Set in the high desert of central Oregon, my 20+ acre farm was extablished over 100 years ago with water rights from the Deschutes river, just half a mile to the west of the farm. When I purchased this farm in the summer of 2017 the property was so rundown the owner sold it “as-is” because it would not qualify for a loan.
I’m nostalgic when it comes to old farms with silvered barn wood and rustic features that have survived many generations. I knew it would be a lot of work and had love blinders on BUT the land called to me.
10,000 years ago the Cascade Mountain range had a volcanic eruption that set the lavaflow bedrock for this land. Thousands of years later the farm fields are natural sediment areas that became fertile soil as the water ran down to what’s now the Deschutes River.
Part of what drew me to this land was its ecological diversity for this region. There are three-hundred year old juniper trees out back. Native bunch grass and moss on lava rocks that is black when its dry and turns bright green with moisture. I call it mood moss because it reminds me of a mood ring.
The lower lying pasture, has a horse shoe shaped sandy area that is surrounded by juniper trees, away from the road. This is where we’ll meet in a yurt for our retreat.”

ABOUT THE FARM
In Natalie’s words, “The big flat farm field is where we planted 1234 lavender babies in 2022 and rye grain in 2021. In front of the house to the south west is our first lavender patch 400 plants, planted in 2020-2021. We have a long barn that was originally build to house chickens. Plus a fruit orchard that we hope bears fruit for the first time this year – trees planted 2018-2020.
My partner Ramson created a VERY large medicine wheel shaped garden when we moved here, fenced in to keep the curious deer out. The raised beds built on the lava flow are shaped with lava rocks gathered from the land. He keeps adding more garden beds each year. In 2020 we got chickens for farm fresh eggs. The coop Ramson built is so fancy people think its a tiny home. Several years back we acquired a magic school bus from a friend. It is another work in progress but making its way to become our adult-play house.
The flood irrigation will be flowing for two days of the retreat. It makes for a beautiful bubbling brook down to the lower pasture when we water the field near our meeting spot.
As you consider your retreat here, know that this is a working farm. There will be many natural rugged imperfections 🙂 piles of materials we use for the garden, firewood piles, farm equipment, a greenhouse, burn pile, tumble weeds and more. This is part of the old farm’s charm providing earthy grounded energy you get to exeperience.”
