Coaching & Facilitation Venue · Near London, Ontario
A private setting for
the work you do best.
Fernwood Hills is a private forest property in Komoka — forty forested acres, ten minutes from London. Coaches, facilitators, and retreat leaders use the Studio Loft and Farmhouse for VIP intensives, mastermind retreats, and group coaching programs. 5–20 people. A real space for deep work.
Check availability →The setting changes the work.
Coaching in a private forest property is different from coaching in a hotel meeting room. The quiet, the scale, the distance from anything urban — participants show up more open, and that matters for deep work.
Your space for the day.
Deep forest, a real room, a full day with your clients. Participants arrive differently when the drive out of the city has already moved them — before the first question gets asked.
Both indoor spaces, all day.
The Studio Loft for movement, breathwork, and experiential work. The Farmhouse for meals, closing circles, and gathered conversation. Use one space or run a full two-space program — your booked spaces are reserved for your group.
Best for
- Coaches, consultants, or facilitators running group intensives and mastermind programs
- Groups of 5–15 where depth of conversation matters more than scale
- Programs that use the forest environment as part of the coaching container
- Coaches building a recurring quarterly or annual gathering rhythm
Not ideal for
- Groups expecting Fernwood to provide coaching or facilitation staff
- Programs needing a full conference room with projection and whiteboards
- Groups of more than 20

1,120 sq ft for somatic work and group programs.

- Somatic, movement, and breathwork practice
- Circle work and experiential group formats
- Vaulted ceilings, natural light, forest views
- From $295 half-day · $495 full day
The Farmhouse
Deep-work conversations and group meals.
Original farmhouse with long harvest table, a full kitchen, and a residential atmosphere that puts clients at ease. Run the closing circle here, share a Manna-catered meal, or use it as the morning anchor for a two-space program. The warmest room on the property.
- Long harvest table — all voices at the same level
- Full kitchen for group meals or Manna catering

- Outdoor deck and trails between sessions
- From $295 half-day · $495 full day
How Coaches Use It
Formats that work at Fernwood.
VIP Intensive Days
One-on-one or small-group intensive days with existing clients. A forest property, a real room, a full day. Combine indoor sessions with trail walks between blocks — the forest is part of the program.
Mastermind Retreats
Quarterly or annual gatherings for mastermind groups of 6–16 people. The Farmhouse long table keeps everyone facing each other. Breakout space in the Studio Loft. Fire pit for the evening session.
Leadership & Executive Workshops
Leadership development days for corporate clients who want something more deliberate than a hotel meeting room. The forest setting does something a conference table never will — people arrive already a little different.
Somatic & Body-Based Coaching
The Studio Loft's 1,120 sq ft of open hardwood floor is purpose-built for somatic work — movement exercises, breathwork, embodiment practices. Vaulted ceilings, natural light on three sides, forest views.
Group Coaching Programs
Day-long sessions for program cohorts. The Farmhouse seats 25 comfortably for round-table discussions; the Studio Loft holds 20 for experiential formats. Run both spaces simultaneously for split programming.
Retreat-Style Workshops
Public or private workshops with a retreat arc — morning session, forest walk at midday, afternoon integration. Manna catering handles the food so you handle the program.
The Land
Forty acres of forest between sessions.
Many coaches structure their days with trail walks between blocks — not as filler, but as part of the process. Carolinian forest, a meadow, seasonal ponds. Participants come back from a 20-minute walk different than when they left. No program materials required. The land does the work.
The Food
Manna by Fernwood Hills — in-house food prepared in a simple, thoughtful way that fits the scale and feel of your day. Seasonal menus, family-style or buffet service. No fixed price list — menus and pricing are worked out as part of your booking. We can accommodate vegetarian and some other dietary preferences; just mention it when you inquire. Outside caterers are welcome too — bring your own, no corkage. About Manna →
Multi-Day Programs
Stay the night for a deeper program.
Mastermind retreats and VIP intensives that run across two days work especially well with an overnight stay. Participants settle in, the evening session around the fire is often the best of the whole program, and the morning is slow and deliberate before the drive home. Overnight stays are separate from retreat attendance and capped at 2 guests per booked space.
