/Vision
Burnout culture is real. Our goal is to help create balance by providing a space to unplug, train, create, and nourish. We embrace you wholly as an artist and human. We take a holistic approach to training, focusing not only on working hard but also on advancing skills through play, building community, cultivating creativity, reconnecting with nature, and taking time to nourish and rest.
UNPLUG

This remote area is a digital detox with no cell phone reception or internet*

*Limited service is available by taking a short drive to the mountain top aka “The Phone Booth". We will plan to make several trips for this purpose.

Story
Salt City Circus was founded in 2021 by movement artists Rachel Belling and Kate Law Hoflich who share a passion for movement and coaching. What began as an idea sparked from a hot tub conversation about change, growth, community, and a love for the outdoors quickly turned into an adventure.
​
Just months after their conversation these two set out on the journey of building a space with a supportive community and creative growth. A space where both artist and human are nourished. A space to unplug from hustle culture and tune into something deeper. A space surrounded by trees, thistles, and mountain air. Salt City Circus retreats are this space and so much more.
