Now You Can Exhale — A Visionary Oasis of Wellness and Reconnection with Nature Through Klarhet

In a world that often pulls us away from our roots and inner selves, Klarhet stands as a refreshing sanctuary – a place where you can truly let go, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the simple beauty of nature and your own wellbeing. This innovative eco-resort, nestled serenely amid the landscapes of the North Shore, is the inspiring creation of a passionate couple whose personal journey has been one of profound transformation, Kirk & Nicole Leand.

At the heart of Klarhet’s inception lies a vision to redefine the travel experience itself. Born from the founders’ extensive travels over decades as well as their shared devotion to health, sustainability, and living in conscious harmony with the earth, Klarhet invites guests to embark on a journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation. “Our goal is to inspire a new way to vacation focused on three areas my husband and I are passionate about: health/wellness, food, and sustainability,” the Leands share with clear conviction.

Yet, the path that led to Klarhet’s creation was not without its immense challenges and heart-wrenching turmoil. The profound loss of their daughter became a crucible of intense pain, ultimately fueling a period of necessary healing and personal transformation for the founders. “The last four years have been a whirlwind of pure joy, wild inspiration, and debilitating exhaustion at times,” said the Leands. It was from this alchemy of brokenness and rebirth that Klarhet took form, emerging as a sacred space where guests could experience their own renewal.

Upon arriving at Klarhet, one is immediately struck by the unique accommodations: beautiful geodesic domes that harmoniously blend architectural ingenuity with a deep connection to nature. “We fell in love with the dome after being completely consumed and thrilled by the tiny house and minimalist movement many years ago,” the Leands explain. Large bay windows invite the outside world in, offering stunning vistas of the surrounding wildlife and the vast, starry skies at night. Yet, these windows also serve an ingenious practical purpose as passive solar heat sources, reducing the need for active heating in the winter months.

Sustainability is woven into the very fabric of Klarhet’s ethos and operations. From using eco-friendly bath and paper products to composting food scraps on-site, every effort is made to tread lightly on the earth. “Our main focus is on the cultivation of a regenerative farm and food forest,” the Leands note with evident pride. This commitment to regenerative agriculture ensures that Klarhet can provide for its own basic needs in a truly sustainable, closed-loop fashion. Innovative energy solutions, such as a compost-powered heating unit and power generation from a natural water spring, further exemplify the resort’s unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship.

Yet, Klarhet is far more than just a collection of eco-friendly practices – it is a bold invitation to step out of the relentless rhythms of modern life and into a space of deep connection with nature, oneself, and loved ones.

Through carefully curated experiences that foster an intimate rapport with the natural world, guests often find themselves undergoing a gentle yet powerful transformation. The simple acts of breathing fresh mountain air, walking barefoot on the earth, and savoring farm-fresh, nourishing food can have a life changing impact on one’s overall wellbeing. “We have completely transformed our health through these simple practices,” Nicole attests.

Klarhet’s wellness offerings are designed to nurture this journey of healing and self-discovery. From farm-to-table culinary experiences and cheese-making classes to plans for integrative nursing and naturally minded wellness practices, the resort provides a multifaceted approach to holistic wellbeing. And at the core of it all is a deep reverence for the restorative power of nature itself.

Of course, creating such an ambitious, pioneering venture has not been without its fair share of challenges. As self-proclaimed “novices” in many aspects of the endeavor, the Leands state that “we have been complete novices at every stage of this project’s development, and it often showed.”

The local community, too, has embraced Klarhet with open arms, recognizing the positive impact the resort has on the region. “We received unanimous approval from the county board to bring a source of regenerative agriculture to the area,” said the Leands.

Looking ahead, the Leands have ambitious yet inspiring plans to expand Klarhet’s offerings even further. A new community and event space, classes on natural gardening and cheese-making, and additional off-grid stay options are all on the horizon. “We are adding a farm-to-table food truck featuring food cooked over fire and traditionally prepared bites,” Nicole reveals, her excitement palpable. Above all, the continued development of Klarhet’s regenerative farm and wellness experiences remains a core priority, reflecting the founders’ commitment to their vision.

Yet, when asked about their favorite aspect of this incredible journey, the answer is simple and divinely intrinsic: the connections formed with their guests. “The support and the incredible conversations we have had with our visitors and the locals who buy our eggs truly inspire us,” the Leands said. These interactions have created a sense of community that transcends the physical boundaries of Klarhet, touching the lives of all who encounter this special place.

Perhaps the most humbling and rewarding feedback, however, has been witnessing the tangible impact of Klarhet’s vision on the lives of its guests. “Guests expressing a clear understanding of our vision and intention, noting the positive impact it had on their personal experience and how it will change their lives moving forward, has humbled us beyond words,” stated the Leands. It is in these moments that the true essence of Klarhet shines through – an example of leading the next generation of inspiration, reminding us all of the beauty that can blossom when we choose to live in harmony with nature and ourselves. Klarhet stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when vision, resilience, and a deep love for the earth converge.
