Welcome to Manitou

Refuge in the turmoil of a world turning upside down, grounding in the embrace of Nature's fullness. Where we're called to beauty and stillness in ourselves, released into the acceptance of what life brings. Nature has a way of bringing us back to being, honoring our true nature and capacity to heal, ease stress and be grateful.

Manitou music, healing walks, workshops, camps and retreats for all ages deepen our interconnectedness to ourselves, the land and one another in glorious rediscovery! 
​“Those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth
​will find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.”
 
​—Rachel Carson
