Where: Lake Toxaway, NC Mountains

When: Friday September 11th - 13th

🌀 Join us for a transformational RETREAT where each moment is created to hold you gently, reconnect you with your inner wisdom, and help you step into the life you’re ready to create.

Let Nature Hold You.

Early September is a potent threshold — the soft space between summer’s expansion and autumn’s releasing.
And on the night of the New Moon in Virgo, a natural doorway opens. It is the moon phase of beginnings, visioning, resetting your energetic slate, and reclaiming your intention.

This retreat is your invitation to pause…
to listen…
and to consciously shape what comes next.

We will release what feels heavy, honor what wants to stay, and plant the seeds of who you are becoming.


You will experience:

  • 🌑 A powerful New Moon Intention Ceremony. A guided ritual to clear old patterns, call your energy back, and set aligned intentions for the season ahead

  • 🧘‍♀️ Soul-nourishing yoga, breathwork, guided relaxations & optional meditations

  • 🎵 Sound healing sessions to vibrationally cleanse and recalibrate

  • 🔥 Time in nature, curated moments of silence, and connection

  • 💫 Support with a certified fitness instructor, alignment specialist & yoga teacher— whether you're curious about posture or deepening your yoga practice, this is your space to be seen and supported

  • Stream-of-consciousness writing and other processing tools 

  • Opportunity to book one on one massage, reiki, somatic healing with Jules

  • Check-in from 4:00 PM Friday (opening circle at 5:00 PM) · Check-out 11:00 AM Sunday

    When the New Moon arrives during the transition between summer and fall, the mountains amplify its energy — and Virgo brings clarity, grounding, and the desire to refine your life with intention. It’s the perfect time to clear mental clutter, return to your center, and anchor the routines that support your next season needs.

    ✨ Return home with: more space in your heart and mind, a renewed sense of direction, and a deeper connection to what wants to emerge in this next season of your life. 

    “Rested, we are ready for the world but not held hostage by it.
    Rested, we care again for the right things and the right people in the right way.”

                                             — David Whyte

    May this weekend be your invitation back to that kind of rest — not escape, but renewal.


    Spaces are limited — this moment between seasons is brief, and the energy is potent.
