Connection is Key — Help Us Grow a Living Sanctuary in Northern California

At Oaxxanda Berry Creek, we believe connection—to nature, to ourselves, and to each other—is essential for well-being. With your support, we’re building a serene, community-powered retreat where people can learn, heal, and reconnect with the land. Every contribution helps us plant trees, establish gardens and trails, host community workshops, and create a welcoming space for all.

Your gift plants more than a tree—it plants belonging.

Why Your Support Matters

Ecological restoration: Tree planting and drought-smart gardening that nourish the land for generations.
Education & wellness: Accessible workshops, sound healing, and nature skills that uplift community.
Local resilience: Low-waste, regenerative practices, and partnerships that keep value in Northern California.
