Friends with the Forest is a grassroots initiative and haven for creative souls seeking inspiration, joy, and connection with nature. Our team purchased 10 acres of land located in Bryson City, North Carolina, the gateway to the Great Smoky National Park, as the foundation for our  transformative animal rescue/educational retreat center with a healthy plant-based food truck!

 

Our compassionate collective aims to transform lives and foster a deep appreciation for life. Through our retreats, events, and education programs, we hope to ignite the power of imagination within each individual, encouraging guests to explore their inner potential. Join us on this enchanting journey to discovering your best self!
