About the Bliss Woods Homestead
Nestled in the enchanting woods of Sugar Grove, just off Kedeka Road, Bliss Woods Homestead has been my sanctuary since November 2021. Every year, the magic of this place grows, and I’m thrilled to invite you to experience the tranquility and beauty that surrounds me.
The homestead features a spacious 20-foot bell tent, a custom-built aerial yoga rig, a vibrant vegetable garden, flourishing flower beds, and a charming chicken coop—all set against the breathtaking backdrop of 360-degree wooded views.
The tent comfortably accommodates 6 to 10 participants, making it the perfect space for a variety of offerings, including meditation, reiki, sound healing, sister circles, crafting workshops, and more! With screened windows, you can enjoy fresh air and stunning views of my friendly chickens and the wildlife that visits, from graceful herds of deer to sandhill cranes and curious foxes.
Our new aerial yoga rig, affectionately known as the Yognasium, supports up to 7 participants at a time—6 students and 1 instructor. Classes are held outdoors, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature, though please note that programming is weather-dependent.
At Bliss Woods Homestead, you’ll also meet my delightful flock of 7 hens, representing various breeds. I even have a treat dispenser for visitors who wish to feed my feathered friends! This expansive 17-acre property features a large vegetable and fruit garden, an herb garden, and plenty of open space to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.
For your convenience, there’s a bathroom inside the home, which is also shared with my lovable dog, Koda. While he will be contained during events, please consider this if you have any dog allergies.
Join us at Bliss Woods Homestead, where nature and serenity await you!
The Story of the Bliss Bell Tent
