ABOUT STAR FOREST STAY - A NEW BRIDGE TOWARDS HEALING

In late 2022 Alexander Vlachos and Karianne Spens-Hanna found a cabin home in Port Austin, MI. The intention is to have an additional grounding space close enough to Detroit but far enough to understand the immeasurable solace and healing that nature provides. Star Forest Stay in Port Austin is a place that will offer private guided retreat programs.

In order to raise awareness of the space, Alexander and Karianne are offering private community retreats.

Limited Private Retreats and Camping will be planned every August (Summer), September (Early Fall) and February (Winter).

The private lightly guided retreats will maintain the efforts of providing accessibility and remain sober, drug, alcohol, vape + smoke free.
