We are thrilled to find ourselves keepers and custodians of STARRY LAKE our very special Dark Sky Oasis– 200 acres ( 80 hectares) of forest, rivers and streams with a secluded private lake in one of the darkest sky zones of the world, in the province of Ontario, Canada. We are located on a quiet county road that has earned itself a place as a “scenic route of Ontario”.  Starry lake is an amazing nature sanctuary. Visitors have described it as a “Private Provincial Park”.  I tend to call it a marvel.

Starry Lake is a perfect location for the work at the heart of Vital Arts…. It offers a totally private retreat where we can all be washed and wrapped in nature’s wonder.  The night sky is truly out of this world, reflecting the awe inspiring vastness of the universe we are all part of.  The expansive property and varied landscape allows for many kinds of process and contemplations- joyful play, and still reflection is all possible in the bubble of serenity that Starry Lake is. 

Reach out if you are interested in attending a retreat or program at Starry Lake.

Starry lake is also available to rent for events and gatherings that are in keeping with our vision to create a clean, enhanced ecology for well-being and growth.

The 3 bedroom main house is an easy stroll down a private forest road or through hiking trails to the lake and two fabulous off-grid glamping cabins. The house has all the comforts of modern amenities- showers, electricity, a full kitchen and yes, Wi-Fi, if it’s needed.

‘The Hummingbird’ and ‘Sun Ray’, the two off-grid cabins have screened in porches to enjoy summer breezes and cozy wood stoves for winter. There is everything needed for comfort, with cooking on the BBQ or propane stove and drinking water  from our crystal clean wells. There’s a fresh, cute outhouse, and the lake offers fantastic swimming.  The cabins are glamping at it’s best- with privacy, serenity and incredible night sky that may be the one thing to keep you from sweet slumber.
