About

Two acres of moss, Douglas fir, and a river you can hear from the fire circle.

Whose Land sits on forested hillside east of Seattle, where community gathers for bluegrass jams, men's and women's circles, and musical guests. Facilitators rent the dome and fire circle for workshops and ceremonies. People book weekend stays to slow down.

This is a place built by hand over four years. Every beam supporting the dome, every stone in the fire circle, every trail through the trees.

The Builders

Alissa and Patrick bought this land in 2021 and have since spent every summer adding to it and creating new spaces. Along with support from their community they have dreamed up ideas, did the physical work: framing the structures and building trails, and hosted the first gatherings.

Alissa is a therapist by training. Patrick works in tech. Both of them recognized there was a need in the community for a place to gather and slow down. Both have enjoyed witnessing the magic this land has, and the gifts it offers when people come to visit.

What started as a personal project became something bigger: a place where facilitators can gather, create, and hold meaningful experiences. Designed to hold the nuance, care, and presence this work requires.

Our Philosophy

People need fire, forest, and each other. This isn't theory. It's what we've watched happen here for four years: musicians who show up and play until late, facilitators who return because the space holds their work, strangers who become friends around the fire.

The land teaches patience. The dome holds twelve people comfortably. The fire circle seats twenty-five under the open sky. There are no screens here, no distractions, just moss-covered trees and the sound of the river.

We built this for the kind of gathering that needs quiet, privacy, and a container. The kind of work that happens when people slow down enough to actually meet each other and themselves.

Land Acknowledgment

Whose Land is situated on the ancestral and present-day lands of the Snoqualmie Tribe. We honor the Snoqualmie people as the original caretakers of this land and respect their enduring relationship with it.

This acknowledgment is an ongoing commitment to humility, learning, and responsible stewardship in everything we host here.
