Purpose
Welcome to Zennest, a sanctuary nestled in the sweeping red rock vistas of Southern Utah. Our purpose is to inspire, educate, and empower individuals to cultivate mindfulness, sustainable living practices, and innovative thinking in order to create a better world.
Zennest Transformation
Zennest underwent a significant transformation in 2020, led by developer Les Ottolenghi. Fully renovated and restored, Zennest was Les’s passion project and off-the-grid escape during the Covid-pandemic. Les purchased the cabin in the spring of 2020 and spent the summer and early fall bringing it back to life and completely modernizing it.
Mindfulness
At Zennest, we believe mindfulness is key to living a fulfilling and balanced life. That’s why we offer a variety of retreats, workshops, and events throughout the year. Our Mindfulness Retreat is a popular immersive experience that allows attendees to engage in guided meditations, yoga, and workshops while surrounded by nature’s beauty, promoting a deep connection with the self and the environment. We also offer ongoing workshops and classes to help individuals incorporate presence and well-being into their daily lives.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of our values at Zennest. Living sustainably is important not only for the health of our planet but also for our personal well-being. Our Sustainability Symposium and Workshop is an annual event that brings together environmental enthusiasts, experts, and curious minds to learn about the latest sustainable practices, conservation techniques, and the steps we can take toward a greener future. We also offer hands-on workshops and educational resources.
