Community is at the heart of it all…
Minutes from the heart of Charlottesville, Virginia, Oakencroft was created as a place for people to gather with intention. Our sustainably built meeting spaces were designed to host conversations, retreats, lectures, and moments of shared inquiry centered on conservation, sustainability, and climate change—but above all, to serve as a setting for collaboration and inspiration.
This is where our Discovery Sessions and Retreats at Oakencroft take shape. These gatherings range from structured conversations and workshops to slower, more reflective experiences rooted in the rhythms of the farm. Sound baths, farm walks, hive-to-honey experiences, and seasonal explorations invite learning through presence—offering space to think, listen, and reconnect, both with one another and with the land.
This section of the blog will share moments from those gatherings, reflections on community-driven work, and insights that emerge when people come together with curiosity and care.
