We are co ~ creating regenerative spaces for life to thrive.
Let's all BE Caretakers
We are a Sanctuary located at Boolambayte, near Bulahdelah. We are working to co-create a place for people to restore and connect to their health and wellbeing in all areas of their lives, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We are open throughout the year for Eco Friendly/Leave No Trace BYO Gatherings/Events, Camping, Farm Tours, Workshops & Retreats. We also hold space for Playgroups ~ all suited to Free Range Humans looking to reConnect with Mother Earth ~ Father Sky.
Here at Stoney Creek, we are always working with Nature, and recognise the importance of observation & connection, and restorative practices that regenerate the land. We are here to learn and share ways of living that are respectful of all life and the environment in which we live, work, rest & play.
We have a Leave No Trace policy here at Stoney Creek. This precious land is home to many inhabitants and we ask that your footprint be Conscious Light & Eco Friendly.
Please BE Responsible for the Energy You Bring. This is Worimi Country. We pay Respect to the Ancestors of this Land Past, Present & Future. We extend that Respect to Traditional Custodians of Land everywhere ~ We Honour the Original Caretakers for their Ancient Knowledge & Wisdom.
We are located 25 minutes along a country road to some of the most pristine beaches/coastline in the world. Cafes Bulahdelah 10 minutes away & Seal Rocks/Pacific Palms 25 minutes.
The tallest tree in NSW, The Grandis Tree is near by to visit.
We have a community barn, library, gallery, dining, workshop space available to guests, visitors & volunteers. We have an outdoor kitchen/bathroom sink, composting toilets, and outdoor shower.
