The Hostel in the Forest is dedicated to inspiring love and respect for nature, others, and the self through education, art, and community living in harmony with the Earth.

As a space that promotes and teaches environmental sustainability, it offers a hands-on approach to a sustainable lifestyle. While not affiliated with any particular religion or denomination, the Hostel serves as a spiritual retreat and its educational programs are designed to integrate the ecological, social, spiritual, economic, and emotional aspects of the human experience.
