Have you ever heard of Indiegogo? Indiegogo is a crowdfunding platform where innovative projects come to life with the support of people like YOU! Crowdfunding allows us to reach out and develop a community of supporters who believe in our project. In exchange for backing our project, you get your selected tier of reward (called a Perk), which in this case can be a 1-4 night stay in the Spherical Treehouses up to 50% off.

Why use crowdfunding?

Simple, it is no risk for you and no risk for us. If our campaign target goal is not met, then no money is ever transacted over Indiegogo, and we look to other ways to fund the project or focus ourselves on other initiatives that our guests want. If it is met, then success and the Spherical Treehouses will start production! It’s a smart way to test the Ontario market. Are people in Ontario seriously interested in having something so unique and innovative in their own backyards, under 2hrs northwest of the GTA? We think so!

These Spherical Treehouses are eco-friendly, architecturally stunning, and are designed to blend seamlessly with nature, offering guests a unique and immersive experience. Your support will help us build 3 treehouses and expand upon our already existing sustainable, off-grid oasis of unique stays where people can unwind, explore, and reconnect with nature.

Join us on this exciting journey and be part of something truly special. Support our campaign, pioneer a new extraordinary experience in Ontario, spread the word, and help us make the Spherical Treehouses a reality! 🌳✨

You can be a part of bringing these to Ontario!  Continue reading below about our journey from 12 years ago, building up to next week’s soft launch on Indiegogo - An online platform where you can pre-book stays and fund this exciting project.

We finally made it home the Thursday after the property was officially listed on the market. We really needed to thank God as there was a crazy storm that weekend, and the open house didn't happen.  It felt meant to be as we were the first ones to arrive and see the property. We took a day to think about it and visited again to walk the property. Something was pulling us here, and we never would have realized just what it was until now. It is nothing short of a magical place, one that has over the years brought us such joy and happiness. And now doing the same for others as well… funny, from our first hike, we stumbled across a hidden area of majestic maple trees off the side of the small moraine hill and stopped. A tree-sphere belongs here!   …12 yrs later, that same spot is one of 3, which have been designed to seamlessly integrate a spherical treehouse! Will it be the one you choose to visit? 

An inspiring story has come full-circle, …well, almost... It’s now your turn to be part of the story and, together, let us build the next chapter hand-in-hand with the trees here in Ontario!

Two years ago, before selling our downtown Toronto condo, we were searching for a new place to call home. We felt we needed to be about an hour from Toronto because of work. Remember, this was 12 years ago when remote work wasn't common. While staying in spherical treehouses on Vancouver Island, we faced a big question: Where would we live when we got home? Surprisingly, managing my design clients on the road was easy, even from a treehouse!

Johnny and I decided to widen our property search area, and we found it—a 72-acre property with diverse landscapes in Priceville, a place we had never heard of. It was just listed, and an open house was happening that weekend. We looked at each other…well, we kind of spent our travel reserve fund, so maybe it was time to head home… or to a new home? Honestly, we were surprised BC didn’t claim us and that we did come back to Ontario.

Driving across Canada was a wonderful experience, and we enjoyed every minute of it. Thankfully, our Jeep was new, as the terrain coming out of BC is crazy. We took our time and talked a lot about our ideas to bring the spherical treehouses to Ontario and other things we could design and create in this new idea of a future… The ideas started to flow!

It became our cocoon. We did not want to leave. We honestly kept asking for another night and then another, but then eventually, everything was booked. It was my birthday celebration (Milena), and so we traveled out to Tofino to some additional unique adventures Tom recommended. He did not disappoint! But we missed the spheres and found ourselves back again in two weeks for Johnny’s birthday. Our first experience was in Melody, which had a fold down murphy-style bed so you could sleep in the center of the sphere and made from (at the time) a new fiberglass mould of Tom’s. Our second stay was in Eryn, one of Tom's original wooden spheres. It was just as exciting!

The most impactful thing for us, other than just how incredibly awesome the spherical treehouses looked and how the interior space transformed from lounging/dining to sleeping/resting, was the natural rhythm of the sphere. Almost buoyant like a boat, but in the trees where the breeze is your current.It was an incredible feeling to be in harmony with the natural environment. Our sleeps were the best we ever had, even to this day. We woke one morning and peaked out the side window and noticed a deer lingering below. Wild! It had no clue we were above looking down. A beautiful encounter without scaring her away…

Tom Chudleigh designed the Spherical Treehouses based on the concept of biomimicry, which emulates nature's designs to create sustainable and efficient structures. An innovator deeply connected to nature, Tom hand-crafted these beautiful structures with high-end woodworking. Initially, he envisioned placing them on water but eventually found their natural home among the trees.

Tom, an engineer and boat maker by trade, crafted his first sphere by hand, using strips of wood, as a gift for his beloved wife, Rosie. Johnny, who spent much time with Tom in his workshop, was utterly inspired by his dedication and brilliance. I, Milena, observed as they chatted, seeing every meticulously crafted piece…. When working with a spherical shape, there are no straight cuts, making it a true labour of love…

Our story began 12 years ago, homeless and traveling BC. We came across the most incredible experience of our lives: Free Spirit Spheres. Inspired by their originator Tom Chudiegh, we laughed in awe at the magical qualities of his Spherical Treehouses and spent the coming nights being lulled to sleep by nature’s pure rhythm. To live suspended in the trees gave us a new perspective on life.It sparked in us a vision, which was the origin of what we now call ReLive Retreat…. Thank you Tom!

Check in with us each day over the next week as we unfold an inspiring story that is coming full-circle…
