Oakhaven

One day, we will own a tract of land, preferably with some water on it. On that land, we will acquire for ourselves a number of structures, all of them built from the pre-fab style of yurt housing.

Greenman House

A small office, Greenman House overlooks the parking lot, and acts as a check-in spot for guests, as well as a reception office for Oakhaven in general. The path leads up to the Bed & Breakfast.

Bed & Breakfast

A rustic guest house, set up as a bed and breakfast. It will consist of several of the yurt portions interconnected, built up over time. The ideal is to provide each room with a wonderful view of the gardens that surround the house, and the forest beyond.

The Paths

From the back of the Bed & Breakfast is a series of paths, leading through the forest. Along the way, the Paths lead to a series of small pavilions, each one set up along a theme, surrounded by a small gardens. Some might include:

  • Faerie Glen: Faery-themed, with a garden planted with plants that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. In the forest nearby is the Faery Caern.
  • Sybil's Cave: Set up for divination and trance-work, with a central table and storage space. Herb garden planted with various herbs that aid in the sight, vision-work, etc.
  • Garden of Contemplation: A space set up with comfortable cushions and mats. Garden planted with flowers and other calming herbs.
  • Ritual Pavilion: Space set up for outdoor ritual while still being protected by the elements. Permanent quarter altars, with garden herbs aligned by element outside of it.

The Stones

A circle of stones, with a firepit in the center, for somewhat more primal ritual experiences.

Pentacle House

A combination of five yurt houses all connected together into the shape of a pentagram, with a shared deck occupying the space between them, the Pentacle House will serve as the covenstead proper, housing the Master House, Apprentice and Communal Housing, a Temple and Library, a Workshop (with connecting greenhouse) and Guest Quarters.

River House

A space down by the river, the River House will be used for our Sabbat festivals, featuring plenty of sleep-over space as well as ritual space indoors and out. The River House will also be able to be rented out to retreat groups.

Mysteries House

A small retreat tucked away into some woods, the Mysteries House is suited as a retreat for meditation or introspection. Within the coven, the Mysteries House serves as a place of purification and meditation in preparation for Initiations.
