Calm by Firelight: A Weekend of Sauna & Stillness in Port Austin
Friday, September 26 – Sunday, September 28 2025
A limited, private, RSVP invite to 1–3 nights of slow camping, guided sauna, and quiet restoration in nature
Step into the quiet.
Let the warmth of the fire and the rhythm of the water guide you back to yourself.
Calm by Firelight is a gently held weekend designed for rest, reconnection, and simplicity. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing less with intention.
What’s Included:
⛺️ Camping Made Easy – We Provide the Tent (You may also bring your own or whatever else makes you feel comfortable in nature)
Things to Bring:
- your own sleeping bag or linens
- a pillow
- a hammock or tent

There is also a 6 person cabin available for you to stay with us at Port Crescent State Park Campgrounds.
Just bring your linens. You may also choose to camp out at our place in Star Forest Stay off Kennedy Rd. where we will have a couple tents setup.
This is a limited private retreat to help provide proof of concept in a partnership with Port Crescent State Park Campgrounds.
RSVP is limited to friends, family and our communities formed with the Greater Impact House and The Otter Creek Lodge, Monroe.
