An adventure getting there. An adventure sinking into the beauty and magic once there. An adventure locked in your spirit-memory forever after returning. Every time I go I am deeply moved in some way that changes my life in a heathy, positive way. It's Eden.

I attended the Social Venture Institute at Hollyhock this past September and loved the experience. The setting at Hollyhock is idyllic and is the perfect counterpoint to the intense experience of the Social Venture Institute. I place I will return to for the rest of my life.

Each time I leave Hollyhock I am replenished,... More

Hollyhock was a beautiful experience inside and out. I was rejuvenated, inspired and happy when I left. Their commitment to keeping the setting natural, including earth-friendly farming means their food is delicious because of it! They took good care of me and the place.
