Appalachia is not just a place of residence for Amber and Joshua Niven- it's a cherished part of their heritage. This is where they first crossed paths, fell in love, and began building their family. Their deep connection to the region is rooted in a desire to share the tranquility of the mountains, the profound history ingrained in the landscape, and the extraordinary people who make it unique. Whether you choose to stay at their retreat, attend a workshop, enroll in a class, or dive into their book, Amber and Josh extend an invitation for you to discover that, in their world, "It's all Good in the Woods."
