Sharing our thriving life with you.
We are Markus + Micah. We live in a tiny house by the sea, grow our plants, cook plant-based food, travel, and design wellness retreats and mindful programs so we can all live meaningful lives.
Intentional Living
What We Do

We left our standard lives, jobs, and society’s conditioning to create a slow and self-determined life that we love.

Our life is simple, delicious, spacious and focused on the essentials based on our personal values.

We create holistic wellness retreats and programs that honor movement, nature, mindfulness, and meaningful connections.
