LITTLE LODGE
An immersive experience of eco-therapy and positive solitude.
Little Lodge is a weekend-reset to kickstart your spark - your aliveness. Learn all about eco-therapy and positive solitude by experiencing it. One night in a cabin, and two days packed with your introduction to hands-on, dive-on-in eco-psychology.
Saturday April 26 - Sunday April 27, 2025
You want to work on your therapy to-do list.
That has never been the problem. But talk therapy for an hour every two weeks? Nah - you might not be seeing the shifts you want.
We have found that people need proper time and space away to get on it and really muck around in their inner world! Enter positive solitude therapy. Your answers lie within. We show you how to hear them. And hear them and hear them and hear them! This is ecotherapy at its best.
Life can be relentless - especially when stuck, or going through a major life transition or shift. Let’s get to the lake and make some big psychological shifts together. We will guide you through the ecopsychology, and nature will support you every step of the way.
Little Lodge is a whole weekend of (eco)therapy:
You will make major shifts on your most pressing concerns.
Come gather your inner most truth.
After the weekend, you will live more aligned with your authentic self.
Put simply, get un-stuck in areas that are most important to you.
Insight. Meaning. Creativity. Aliveness.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
We got you covered! These skills are built right into the program, and there is ample time for you to borrow gear AND clothing from our gear library.
-
About 90% of our participants are 2SLGBTQIA+, however, we find it's more about being queer as an outlook on life, whether you're straight, bi, disabled, BIPOC, or neurodivergent - Emberwood really vibes with all people who like to trust their intuition, think outside the cultural norm, love learning deeply about themselves, and find meaning in the world. If you like scientifically-backed woo-woo, come on down.
-
Payment plans available by email request. Many people pay with a payment plan.
-
All meals provided, catered to your dietary needs. We can cook gluten free, vegan, low FODMAP and more. There is food out and available at all times. You are welcome to bring more of your own. We are happy to discuss bathroom hacks, be in touch! We are ED informed and have a no diet-talk norm.
-
God no. ahah, no no. Emberwood is all about going very slowly in nature or sitting. Many trips can accommodate wheels, and we offer shuttles down to the lake in the car. We are fat positive, and pro health at every size. This trip is nothing to do with exercise lol.
-
Folks often carpool. Come to the Warmth Workshop night to set up your carpool in person.
Leadership by expert eco-therapy guides
"Howdy, I’m Fergus, one of Emberwood’s founders and your guide. I'm an extrovert, but I'm all about solitude - it's the only way I can really hear my truth without all the confusion of others' needs and life's complexities clamouring for my attention and getting in my way. I am looking forward to passing on how the benefits of positive solitude therapy can work for you too! It's the only way I make major life decisions now, solitude gives me such clarity and insight."
"Hi, I’m Jude. As a therapist and outdoor guide, I really believe in nature as therapy. My experiences of ‘solos' is that they are the quickest, most reliable and most joyful way for me to remember who I am, find out what I want, and heal old patterns. This modality lets me be in touch with - and enjoy - my inner world, which is something I believe all people deserve. We don't have to be scared of who we are or what we want.
