WHAT TO EXPECT

Retreat Highlights

  • Expert Facilitation

    Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

  • Collaborative Energy

    Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

  • Somatic & nature-based wisdom

    We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

  • A Supportive Space

    Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

The work

  • A group of women and a man kneeling on the grass and holding strings that connect to a central point, engaging in an outdoor team-building activity on a grassy field with large residential buildings in the background.
  • Group of people doing yoga outdoors on mats, with mountains and trees in the background.
  • People on yoga mats and an instructor are in a bright room with wooden floors, large windows with white curtains, and minimal decor, with some people lying on mats while the instructor leads the activity.
  • A park at sunrise with leafless trees and green grass, featuring concentric circles of a spiral pattern on the lawn and several benches on the left side.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Check-in for the retreat and lodging begins Friday at 4PM. We meet for dinner as a group at 6 PM to kick off of the fun. At dinner, attendees receive a detailed agenda for the retreat experience. We conclude our retreat agenda Sunday at 12PM.

    We have a dedicated building that holds all of our retreat sessions. We can also use the surrounding nature area for outdoor sessions and reflection work.

  • We offer two retreat packages. The tuition for the retreat itself remains the same for both packages. 

    The lodging fee varies depending on whether the attendee chooses a retreat room or a hotel room on property for the duration of the retreat. The lodging fee also includes all meals during the retreat and access to a shuttle that can take attendees around the property.

  • The retreat is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains at a higher elevation. It can be quite cool in the evenings.   

    Attendees usually bring comfortable clothing they can move in, layering pieces for the evenings, sneakers or hiking shoes as the retreat campus is spread out, a reusable water bottle for hot and/or cold beverages, and a small flashlight.

  • 20 people. We cap at this number to keep this retreat an intimate space.
