Sabbaticals at the Farm
A month of space to restore, create, and breathe again
Dear Potential Visitors, Therapeutic Providers, Artists and All,
Welcome to your Sabbatical Sanctuary. After eight years of living on this land with my children, I’m opening it for what it was always meant to be: a place of reflection, rest, and realignment. Whether you’re a therapeutic provider, artist, remote worker, or simply someone seeking spaciousness, The Refuge offers 30-day sabbaticals in a tranquil, fully-equipped setting on a small five acre permaculture demonstration farm tucked away just outside of Charleston, SC yet in the middle of it all.
You might be asking, "Who This Is For?" Well, it's for anyone. We could all use a month of space to restore, create, and breathe again. However, I have listed a few suggestions below and I'm open to your suggestions as well.
Sincerely,
Katie Donohoe aka Farmer Katie

A Few Suggestions
Therapeutic Providers & Artists
Come stay for 30 days and design your own rhythm. Host small retreats or private sessions, or simply work on your own creative or professional practice. We provide quiet spaces, flexible scheduling, and optional event support. You retain 70% of your revenue from any workshops hosted during your stay and 30% is donated to the Growing Minds Project 501(c) which maintains the farm as well as a scholarship fund to provide "Pay What You Can" sabbaticals for families in grief.
Corporate Sabbaticals & Sponsored Retreats
We partner with HR departments offering sabbatical stipends or wellness grants. Enjoy your stay solo, or invite family or friends to join you at the end of your four-week stay. We offer:
- Seamless onboarding for HR teams

- Opportunities to gift a sabbatical to someone else in need
