Each room in The Lodge at Zoetic has its own unique personality. Each and every space was carefully designed to inspire wonder. Every corner carefully crafted to invite you to connect with yourself, others, art and nature through both inspection and introspection.
A gentle warning, you may occasionally find that Zoetic’s modest collection of surrealist animal objects and paintings will look as deeply into you as you are looking into them.
The 30-acre forest surrounding The Lodge at Zoetic opens up with every careful footfall. As you discover, you begin to understand that the untamed forest resides in another dimension altogether. It’s hard to know which is more enchanting, the curiosities of the natural world outside the lodge or the art inside. We let you decide.
When the idea of Zoetic was first coming into being, I only knew what I wanted it to do for the people involved - guests and staff - even if I wasn't sure at the beginning how I would accomplish those goals... I wanted to create a space, away from the city, away from advertising, concrete, nagging desires that were never yours. Someplace we all could retreat to for a period of time, to forget and to remember. To forget for a while the identities, the labels, that weigh upon us in our day to day. To slough off the stale skin of the past and to remember what we already know deep inside: that when we quiet our minds and our bodies in a deep way, open our minds, hearts, and consciousness, we know what the right answers are for ourselves. Zoetic creates the conditions for you to come to connection and ultimate comfort in your own mind/body. -Dara Prothro
