Stay Wild

From lakeside cabins to orchard treehouses, yurts deep in the woods or converted circus wagons overlooking nothing but wildflower meadows, this book is a journey through Canopy & Stars’ one-of-a-kind, low-impact and secluded getaways, stopping off along the way to contemplate how and why we should all live a little more wild.

We’ve all daydreamed about stepping out of our lives and moving to the country. In our heads we quit our jobs, wave goodbye to the city, and live in harmony with nature. Very few of us ever actually do it, but this book demonstrates that even small-scale explorations and brief escapes into nature can stimulate a sense of wonder that so often gets lost in our everyday life.

Thanks to our innate evolutionary connection to nature, the benefit of time spent in and around the outdoors can be felt with little effort on our part other than the intention to make room for it. Scientific research shows that escaping the city to immerse yourself amongst the trees can reduce your blood pressure and stress levels, improve your metabolic health, and boost your immune system.
