Deep Rest in The Farmluxe Garden
A One-Day Meditative Floral Retreat
Farmluxe Garden, San Juan Island, WA, USA
July 25, 2027 · $899 USD
After many requests for a one-day retreat, we are delighted to offer this intimate experience in 2027.
Created for both women and men, who long for the beauty and restoration of a retreat but aren't able to step away for five or six days, this is one beautiful afternoon and evening set aside for you.
A day to step away from the noise, wander through flowers, listen to beautiful live music, create with your hands, eat an extraordinary meal beneath the evening sky—and, perhaps most importantly, have absolutely nothing expected of you.
OUR ITINERARY
Your retreat begins at 2:30pm.
FARMLUXE GARDEN TOUR
You'll arrive at the farm and be welcomed with seasonal appetizers and beautiful floral beverages before joining Misha for a leisurely tour through the gardens. This is your introduction to the flowers and to this special place—but after our garden tour, the pace of the afternoon begins to change. The talking quiets. The schedule softens. And we begin to slow down.
A REFLECTIVE GARDEN STROLL
After our garden tour, we’ll let you explore quietly on your own. We’ll give you a small reflection card and from there, the time is yours. Take a journal, wander through the flowers, sit beneath a tree, smell the roses, watch the bees or find a quiet spot overlooking the water and stay awhile.
SOUND, STILLNESS AND REST
We’ll gather in the garden for an outdoor sound bath followed by a gentle guided meditation, then leave plenty of time with nothing scheduled at all. Have tea, write, find a blanket beneath a tree, wander back into the flowers or simply close your eyes. This unhurried stretch of the afternoon is there on purpose.
FLORAL ARRANGING WORKSHOP
Next, we’ll make hand tied bouquets in our floral arranging workshop. You’ll be able to stroll the cutting gardens with a bucket and snips, and cut whichever blooms speak to you. Then you’ll make a beautiful bouquet to take home.
A MEDITATION WITH THE FLOWERS
Later, you’ll take a pair of clippers into the cutting garden and gather whatever catches your eye. Back in the garden, with live harp and soft guitar playing nearby, we’ll show you how to turn what you’ve gathered into a floral mandala. There’s no right way to make one and no floral experience is needed—just an hour spent quietly working with flowers.
A QUIET SUNSET SUPPER
As evening arrives, our private chef will serve dinner in the garden, with small tables and quiet dining spots tucked among the flowers rather than one long communal table. Sit on your own, with the person you came with or with other guests if you prefer. Our musicians continue to play as the sun drops toward the water. There’s no closing circle or final workshop afterward; dinner is the closing ritual.
We'll conclude at 9:00 p.m., hopefully beneath the colors of an unforgettable island sunset.
THE EXPERIENCE
Our one-day garden retreat is designed around deep rest, beauty, creativity and quiet reflection.
Unlike our traditional women's retreats, this experience will be intentionally more meditative than social. Much of our time together will be spent in peaceful silence, with only the sounds of the birds, harp and soft guitar.
Throughout the day, the gardens will be filled with beautiful live meditative music from a harpist and acoustic guitarist, creating a gentle soundtrack as you wander, rest and create.
There will be no pressure to make conversation, meet everyone, share your story, explain what you're feeling, or perform in any way. You are welcome to come alone. You are welcome to be quiet. You are welcome to spend an afternoon simply receiving.
We want the entire experience to feel like one long exhale.
A PLACE UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE
The setting is as much a part of this retreat as anything we have planned for you.
You'll spend the day immersed in our extraordinary private floral gardens overlooking the ocean and surrounding islands—a place created and tended with tremendous care and filled with an abundance of flowers at the height of the summer growing season.
From nearly everywhere in the garden, beauty surrounds you: masses of flowers in the foreground, the ocean stretching out beyond them, islands in the distance and, as evening approaches, the changing light of the setting sun.
This isn't a retreat taking place in a hotel, conference room or rented event venue. The garden itself is part of the experience. You'll have the rare opportunity to experience it slowly and intimately—to wander without crowds, tuck yourself into a quiet corner, lie beneath the open sky, cut flowers directly from the gardens and simply spend time somewhere extraordinarily beautiful.

At the heart of every retreat is a love of blooms, a reverence for the earth, and kindred women coming together.
