We are about ~45 min from Sioux City, IA and ~1h 15min from Omaha, NE β€” close enough to escape to, far enough to truly get away.

The Founders

Carolyn and Russ Uhl

Carolyn and Russ Uhl

Carolyn and Russ are business professionals who have built careers while holding tightly to their love of hiking, camping, adventure, travel, and the great outdoors. Together, they learned a truth that too many people discover too late β€” that balancing a professional life with genuine self-care is not optional. It is essential.

In a world that is fast-paced and technology-centered, that balance is increasingly hard to find. New Harmony Life is their answer to that β€” a place that recognizes our innate need to reconnect with Earth's ancient elements, offering the space necessary for you to find yourself, again.

Fostering the connection of mind, body, and spirit with nature, New Harmony Life is designed to be the perfect atmosphere for grounding, relaxation, and rejuvenation β€” available and accessible whenever life calls you back.
