Forest Shore Dome
Forest Shore Dome is a Geodesic Dome within the forests of Nova Scotia’s South Shore, with ocean views and the intention to create a relationship between us and nature. It is a place to leave the ‘busy’ behind. Slowing down, re-grounding, and reconnecting - heart, body and spirit.
The forest & ocean, ruled by the moon and the seasons - time does not exist here, as we know it, in our normal day-to-day.
You set the pace here. With the intention of having all your senses awakened while falling in sync with the pulse of the nature around you, minimalist luxury is the caveat. You will have the best of everything you need, and nothing of what you do not.
We designed the dome to be a hemisphere that offers an opportunity to experience all four elements - earth, wind, fire and water - within the sacred geometry of the its' structure.
Loading the wood burning fireplace while the vintage claw foot tub fills with hot water may become your ritual. Whilst the wind moves through the trees, and the waves reach the shore, becomes your meditation.
The ocean is only a short walk down a winding forest path, and is often best enjoyed with a hot coffee or loose leaf tea.
Every item, from the organic Egyptian cotton and Flax linen bedding on the king size bed, to the organic wild harvested body/bath products and local fresh roasted coffee, has been intentionally chosen for their love of people and planet. Transparency is everything.
You may just see some of our resident wildlife - deer, foxes, porcupines, rabbits, chipmunks.
If you're a bird lover, you will see or hear all manner of birds, most notably bald eagles that nest at our shore. There are owls in the forest, loons & ducks on the water, gulls & hawks soar our shoreline. Woodpeckers, hummingbirds, blue jays, robins, goldfinches & our lovely crows have been some of our seasonal favorites.
The hosts live on the property, though the guests will have complete privacy while at the dome or walking the paths to the ocean. That being said, there’s a very friendly resident white cat, an even friendlier black cat, and a couple brave & curious chickens, that have been known to make surprise visits to the forest. You may even spot our pair of ducks or geese in the meadow.
