Property & environment

Elevated,private, and quiet by design

Scroll to explore

Halo Ridge is located at 8100 Forbidden Plateau Road, in the mountains above Courtenay in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. The property is private and residential, the kind of place where it is possible to hear yourself think.

Why does the setting matter?

Distance helps. Being away from the routines, places, and pressures attached to a difficult period makes it easier to see that period clearly, and easier to practise something different.

Elevation and forest give the days a different pace. Quiet here is part of what makes the program work possible.

Privacy is structural. A private residential property means fewer eyes, fewer explanations, and a genuinely confidential place to do hard work.
