Chapter 01 · Restoration

Once a dump yard.
Now, alive again.

TIEEDI is not built beside a forest. TIEEDI is the forest—restored water, regenerated soil, natural homes and a tribe learning how to live with the land.

Chapter 02 · Choose your dwelling

Sleep where the
forest can find you.

Every dwelling has its own relationship with the forest. One meets the canopy. One listens to water. One opens directly to the mountain air.

Chapter 03 · Ways to be here

Do less.
Feel more.

No checklist of things to do. Only invitations to notice, make, gather and live a little closer to the land.

Live with the land

Harvest a meal.

Follow food from living soil to the shared table. Harvest what is ready, meet the systems behind it and cook with the tribe.

Chapter 04 · Stay with the tribe

Arrive a guest.
Leave as kin.

TIEEDI is not a property you occupy. It is a living community you briefly become part of—through meals, stories, work, laughter and chance encounters.

“It felt less like a stay and more like a reminder of how life is meant to be—simple, mindful, and deeply connected to the earth.”

Before you enter

A few useful
forest truths.

Immersive first. Confusing never.

What should I expect from the terrain?+

TIEEDI is a living hillside forest with stone steps and uneven paths. Dwellings are around a five-minute forest walk from the road, so comfortable walking shoes are essential.

Can I bring my pet?+

Yes. We are as pet-friendly as the forest allows. Please keep pets close around resident dogs, rabbits, hens and the wild lives sharing the landscape.

What food is served?+

Nourishing vegetarian meals built around seasonal, locally grown ingredients. Shared meals are an important part of staying with the tribe.

What do you ask of guests?+

Please avoid smoking, alcohol and single-use plastic. Use light thoughtfully at night and enter with curiosity and respect for the forest.
