A Soulful Garden in Atlanta
You Don't Have to Leave Your Life to Transform It
The Connection Cottage is a soulful garden in Atlanta where strangers become family between sunset and midnight. We gather on the full moon. We heal on the weekends. And nobody has to fly anywhere or pay $8,000 to feel something real.
People Are Tired. Not the Kind You Fix with Sleep.
There's a deeper exhaustion running through people right now. The exhaustion of scrolling through crisis after crisis and wondering, what difference can I actually make? The loneliness of being surrounded by people but feeling truly seen by no one. The ache of knowing something sacred lives inside you but having no space to let it breathe.
Cliff felt all of it. After years in corporate America and a growing spiritual practice that felt disconnected from his daily life, he asked himself one question: what if transformation didn't require a plane ticket? So he lit a bonfire in his garden on the full moon and invited people to come sit around it. Something shifted that night. Strangers became family between sunset and midnight. And by the next full moon, word had already spread.
What grew from that first fire is now the Connection Cottage: full moon gatherings, wellness weekends, workshops, and deeply personal one-on-one journeys that welcome you home to your Self. Playfully, safely, and surrounded by people who actually give a damn.
"You can create heaven right where you live. Your home can be your launchpad. Your garden can be your temple. That's what H.O.M.E. means to us."
"Home is a feeling we develop through ceremony, through dance, through conversation, through community. And then we take it with us everywhere we go."
Experiences Held in Love
Every offering is an invitation to feel completely accepted for who you are, exactly as you arrive. Healing can find its home right where you stand.
Full Moon Gatherings
Yoga, intention setting, joyful ecstatic dance, and a closing heart circle, all under the full moon with community, fire, and more food than anyone planned on. Each gathering supports a local nonprofit and explores moon wisdom from cultures around the globe.
From $25
One-Day Workshops
Full-day immersions built around embodied healing, creative expression, and the kind of growth you feel in your bones. This isn't a lecture. Expect to move, create, feel, and leave different than you arrived.
$550
Wellness Weekend Journeys
Our signature offering. Four weeks of preparation, a curated two-day immersion, and integration sessions after. Every detail is designed around you: what you need, what you're carrying, what you're ready to release.
From $2,000"After the journey, I saw life through a different lens. It wasn't overwhelming, it was beautiful. My internal compass has been fine tuned to point me on my right path."

H.O.M.E.Heaven on Mother Earth
The Connection Cottage was born from a simple conviction: you shouldn't have to leave your life to transform it. You can turn wherever you are into a sanctuary. You don't have to travel far to arrive somewhere new.
We create experiences that welcome you home to your truest Self. Through ceremony, dance, conversation, and community, we develop a feeling of belonging so deep that it travels with you... into your work, your relationships, your hardest and most beautiful days.
You carry the cottage feeling with you. That's the whole point. We don't create a magical escape you can't replicate. We ignite something inside you that stays lit long after the fire goes out.
"The incredible sense of emotional safety. The ability to feel completely, unconditionally loved. I've flown back three times because nothing else compares."
