💌 Welcome from Melissa

Welcome,

If you’ve landed here, you’re likely feeling a calling from deep within.

I listened to my calling to become a healer. I listened to my calling to come home, and to utilize my family’s 5th generation home and land. This is how Stillness & Soil was born. It is my intention for you to leave this retreat with a renewed sense of wholeness, and a clearer vision of what you would like your life to be.

I graciously offer you my home; a space where your mind and body can relax. I offer you time to remember how good it feels to be fully present. I want you to remember how good it feels to be a part of the land, to be fully seen by each other, and to fully inhabit our own body.

It is absolutely vital that you listen to the deep callings from within.

— Melissa Anderson LAc.
