Rising Moon Studio itself does not host retreats—we are the sacred space where you can come to host them. While Empria, our owner, occasionally offers gatherings and seasonal events, the studio is primarily a container for facilitators, guides, and creatives to bring their own retreats, workshops, and offerings to life.

We don’t offer in-house catering, but we’re happy to share a list of local caterers we love and trust. You're also welcome to bring your own chef or cook on-site—our full kitchen is available for use during your rental and is well-equipped for preparing beautiful meals.

The main studio areas are on one level and are accessible by a short step up. However, some parts of the property (like the sauna and hot tub area) may require assistance for those with mobility challenges. We’re happy to chat more about accessibility needs—please reach out.

This is a sacred space for adults to rest and reconnect. While we love little ones and animals, we ask that the studio remain a child-free and pet-free zone during events, unless otherwise specified.

Both! We have permanent Glamping setups here on the land, but we also offer mobile Glamping units that can be brought to festivals, weddings, and gatherings across Alberta. Click here for more information on Glamping!

Both our Tiny House and Glamping Tent can be booked through Airbnb. 

The Tiny House is a private off-grid escape, complete with its own sauna, cedar hot tub, outdoor shower, and cozy indoor touches—perfect for solo rest or a peaceful romantic getaway. The tiny house features a loft style bed and requires mobility to access. 

The Glamping Tent is a seasonal stay nestled into the trees, with access to the wood-burning sauna and cedar hot tub (bookable upon request).
