Natavi Orion

Natavi Orion is a music maker, community weaver, and queer artist opening hearts and building resilience through his work. Practiced in shamanic arts of the Americas and pagan traditions of indigenous Europe, he works with sound, the elements, and magic to create rituals of personal and collective transformation. His music and performance is a storytelling, exploring the intimacies and intersections of spirituality and being human. Natavi’s prayer is one of peace on Earth and of the birthing of a time of balance and reintegration into the harmonic cycle of Life.

“Great place overall. Beautiful grounds, excellent service and friendly staff and well-maintained rooms/property. Also the food was awesome, creative and unique. Great experience, very relaxing and tranquil overall, if your looking for a retreat from the city!”
