Ground Yourself, Grow, and Thrive
The retreat is designed around renewal, well-being, breath, holding space, going deep within for self-care as we train ourselves for navigating complexity in this time and space. Inspired by the beautiful Blue Ridge mountain’s recovery from last fall’s hurricanes and floods, we will be embracing the energy of change, recovery and transformation.
