Nurture: A Return to Self
Join me for a two-night women’s yoga retreat - May 17-19, 2024, - at Elohee Retreat Center, nestled in the beautiful mountains of the Sautee Nacoochee National Forest.
Embark on a soulful journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation with the "Nurture: A Return to Self" retreat. This immersive experience is crafted to provide a sanctuary for women seeking a profound connection with their inner selves, fostering healing, self-love, and a renewed sense of purpose. Elohee Retreat Center is nestled in the beautiful mountains of the Sautee Nacoochee National Forest. Amidst the serene embrace of nature, the retreat center offers a tranquil haven for self-reflection. Surrounded by lush greenery, rolling hills, a 100 ft waterfall, and the soothing sounds of nature, this setting is intentionally chosen to create an environment conducive to inner exploration and nurturing.
Why Nurture: A Return to Self?
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we often find ourselves disconnected from our true selves. The demands of work, relationships, and responsibilities can lead to a sense of fragmentation. This retreat is a gentle yet powerful invitation to nurture your essence and return home to the core of who you are.
You will:
Engage in daily yoga, mindfulness practices, and activities that cater to your mind, body, and spirit and that create space for introspection.
Nourish yourself with wholesome meals crafted to support your overall well-being.
Immerse yourself in the healing embrace of nature. Guided walks, meditations, and reflective practices amidst the natural surroundings provide a nurturing backdrop for your journey.
Forge connections with other amazing women on a similar path. Share experiences, insights, and mutual support in a community that values authenticity and growth.
Integrate moments of rest and rejuvenation into your retreat experience.
Guests arrive Friday, May 17, 2024, at 2 pm. We will begin at 4 with a welcome circle, introductions, and intention setting. You will experience twice daily yoga, meditations, breathwork, circles, journaling, and other activities to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. The retreat ends at 1 pm on Sunday, May 19, 2024.
NO Yoga or Meditation Experience is necessary to participate in this weekend of serenity and sanctuary. All are welcome!
Accommodations and Pricing
The Thanksgiving House was the original structure at Elohee. With six bedrooms and four bathrooms, it sleeps up to thirteen people. It offers two community rooms with fireplaces, a kitchen and dining room, as well as a meditation/yoga room. The outdoor patio has a fireplace and overlooks a 100-foot waterfall and a small pool.
The Thanksgiving House is nestled in a Rich Cove Forest niche which supports a wide range of trees and plants. Red maple, oak, basswood, and poplar are only a few of the types of trees growing here. Spring wildflowers and medicinal herbs flourish here. Mosses and rotting logs make the damp forest floor suitable for a wide variety of salamanders and one of the most diverse ecosystems found outside the tropics.
The Thanksgiving House is situated next to a 100-ft. waterfall, and about a 10-minute walk from Bald Mountain. It has 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 indoor fireplaces, 1 outdoor fireplace, and a meeting space that comfortably fits 10-13 people.
