Welcome to Center for lost arts
Center For Lost Arts is a place of retreat & conscious community.
Our main retreat spaces are Eva's Roost & Tiny House of Paul.
Instructions on how to book directly with us can be found HERE.
Guest Retreat Spaces Eva's Roost is a zen-style cottage nestled in the hillside overlooking the pond & forest. The extra large windows connect you to the natural world while you write, play music, practice yoga, sit and read or simply be. Spacious, rustic and cozy. Head out the back door to listen to the birds, sit by a fire, watch the moon, look out at the pond or take a trail into the forest - carve out some time & space as a human being, not a human doing. Reconnect with yourself, a friend, or a loved one and with nature. ~~~~~ Tiny House of Paul is a tiny home designed & built by Paul, with many of his signature touches. It is centrally located near the greenhouse and woodshop, yet feels like a small world all it's own. A large westward window affords a beautiful forest view. A screened porch and outside deck provide space for grilling, relaxing in whatever way you desire. Guests need to feel comfortable with steps to the loft for sleeping. You'll find a small firepit in the trees behind the tiny, plus you have access to the trails, gardens & pond habitat on this beautiful 20 acre property. Long term guests are accepted. |
Mindfulness Meditation & Mindful Living Bonnie Burton has been creating inclusive & welcoming spaces for people in one form or another her whole life. Currently she oversees retreats and guest bookings at Eva's Roost & Tiny House of Paul. You can find out more about her offerings or book a one-on-one Mindful Living session at: www.soulintheworld.org ~~~~~ Cobden Village Shops Bonnie is the owner & curator of Cobden Village Shops, supporting local makers, vintage & antique collectors, repurposers, artists, growers, producers & others who are committed to environmental & social responsibility. We have some vendors who practice "lost arts," but are always looking for more - soap making, weaving, metal working, rug making, woodworking, candle dipping, dress making, stained glass, guitar making, pottery and more. If this sparks your interest & you are looking for a small "shop" of your own or you wish to consign your art or artisan wares, contact Bonnie at: cobdenvillageshops@gmail.com ~~~~~ Cobden Village Shops is located at 220 S. Front St in Cobden, a mile up the road from Center For Lost Arts. |

Bonnie & Paul come from different backgrounds with their own passions and skill sets. They share a common commitment to the environment & to each person finding their gifts to offer in the world. Currently, Becca lives on the property and works for the Nature Conservancy. She has a wealth of knowledge about ecology and a deep passion for social justice issues. Her work with the people of St. Louis, Missouri are close to heart. Recently we had some young people learning from Paul, who constructed a strawbale structure on the back of the property. They are no longer working here, but the basic structure including foundation, walls, roof, windows and exterior stucco was all completed by them, under the guidance of Paul. They've added their own twist to give the structure a very organic feel. Work on the strawbale house will continue in the future, and in the meantime, guests and visitors are welcome to check it out - going inside or admiring if from afar.
