Health & Wellness Programming 

At Under a Tree, we believe that wellness is everywhere. The transformation that can occur for people when they live in - or visit - places of wellness involves not only the “hardware” (the details of the built environment) but the “software,” which refers to the programming that activates the space.

We pride ourselves on our long history of expertise in crafting unique, authentic, diverse programming that enriches the lives of guests and/or residents and helps to differentiate projects. Pertaining to mind, body, spirit, and heart, our programming touches the realms of: outdoor adventure, multigenerational activities, nature immersion, hydrothermal experiences (including hot springs), food & beverage, social wellness, sleep, holistic retreats, recovery, sports performance, local & regional traditions, animal therapy, mindfulness, and more.
