WELCOME
Welcome to TAMAKA (aka Tipi Land). This sacred land is held as a place for healing, rest, recreation (such as fly fishing and ping pong), and communion with Self, friends and Nature. We are located a short walk away from Steelhead Falls, as well as a place of more private Deschutes River access known as “Folley Waters”.

TAMAKA (Tipi Land) – A serene sanctuary for rest, healing, and connection with Nature. Nestled at the edge of the Steelhead Falls Wilderness Area, this sacred land offers a peaceful retreat for solo travelers, couples, or small groups. Guests can enjoy hydrotherapy with a wood-fired sauna and cold (or hot) shower, explore nearby trails, or unwind in the communal Tipi for yoga, meditation, and quiet reflection.
​
With options to stay in your own camper van, pitch a tent, or sleep in our 26’ Tipi as part of a personal (or group) healing retreat, your experience also includes access to some kitchen amenities setup in the garage (a running sink w/ hot water, a full fridge for your exclusive use, electric tea kettle, toaster oven, dishes and cutlery), a medicine wheel, wired speakers for listening to music in the garage, ping pong, and star-filled nights by the fire. A “digital detox” is gently encouraged—there’s no WiFi, no cell towers, and no wireless tech—just clean air, pure spring water, and organic frequencies. From Tipi Land it is an 8 minute walk to the river through BLM, or a 15 minute walk to the Steelhead Falls trailhead. While Tipi Land and the Steelhead Falls wilderness area is a destination in and of itself, Smith Rock State Park is only a 22 minute drive away:-)
​
In its highest vision, TAMAKA offers sanctuary and refuge for a person who wants a solo healing retreat experience, nature immersion, EMF detox and reset. These retreats can be self-guided or supported in a myriad of ways by Kat's healing gifts and technologies. To customize a healing retreat, please reach out to Kat!
