The treehouse at Dragonshead is moving from an idea toward a real, living tree.
On the morning of July 3, 2026, the team, using reference photos provided by Geshe-la, looked back toward the valley from the direction of the Dragonshead vegetable garden and photographed, compared, and pinpointed candidate trees.
Looking out from the main building’s entrance, standing on the second rung of a ladder, the line of sight passed through the courtyard, lawn, and hillside, finally resting among that stand of trees.
This was not a simple “tree search.”
It was about finding an anchoring point in which a future short-term retreat space could settle.
The treehouse retreat cabin is different from a stone cave.
It is lighter, more approachable, and easier to enter.
It faces busy people, offering a few days for them to temporarily step away from daily affairs and, amid the treetops, valleys, and stillness, regain focus and direction.
In the on-site records, the team observed the tree itself, surrounding terrain, the main building’s viewpoints, and access paths from various angles, and completed preliminary distance measurements using Google Earth.
These details will form the basis for subsequent design, safety assessments, and spatial planning.
The beginning of a treehouse retreat cabin might be like this:
First, confirm a tree.
Then, confirm a path.
Finally, let a person truly enter and quiet down.
The winds, tree shadows, and slopes of Dragonshead are providing the most natural answer to this matter.
In the future, this place will be more than just a treehouse,
but a spot where people can pause briefly, find their footing again, and return to the world with renewed clarity.
