Step away from the noise and into the stillness of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Join us for a guided forest bathing retreat—a 3-hour journey of mindfulness, breathwork, and nature connection designed to restore your body and spirit. 🌲✨

Science shows that time in nature reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and lifts mood. As you meander through peaceful trails, you’ll quiet the mind, awaken the senses, and invite your nervous system to shift into a state of rest and repair. 🧘‍♀️💚

Led by a certified nature therapy guide, the experience ends with a wild-foraged tea ceremony among the trees—nourishing both body and soul.

Happy Monday, Wellness Crew! 👋

We hope you enjoyed the Easter weekend! It’s been gorgeous here in the mountains, with plenty of sun, warmth and things in bloom. We’re so grateful for the enduring beauty of Asheville and how unique and special our area is. 🌻☀️

Speaking of unique, every year an elusive and oh-so-special species shows itself for a short time only, right here in WNC: the Blue Ghost Firefly 💙✨

We’re so excited to be offering not one, but two special experiences that will allow you to immerse yourself in the magic of twilight for a truly unforgettable experience. For the first time ever, we will be hosting our Blue Ghost experiences on private land, which means (yep, you guessed it!) no crowds! Enjoy a more private and intimate audience with our mysterious friends with either a Guided Night Hike or Overnight Retreat. 😍

Our Guided Night Hikes will allow you to marvel at Mother Nature’s beauty in this private forest as the sun sets and sparkling fireflies emerge. Your guide will offer mindfulness-based practices along the way to help you settle in and immerse more fully in the magic of the moment. We’ve just added two new dates due to high demand, May 12th and 13th, and we do expect to sell out! Please contact our team for up to date availability and booking! 🏃‍♀️

Want to sleepover with your new forest friends? Our Overnight Retreats offer a deeply immersive experience, with a nourishing family-style dinner with your fellow participants, guided Forest Bathing, an overnight stay in a cozy cabin and a continental breakfast before you depart. Forest Bathing is a deeply immersive and mindful way to connect with nature. This practice invites you to slow down, quiet your mind, and awaken your senses—allowing you to fully sink into the magic of the forest as the Blue Ghosts emerge around you. There’s no right or wrong way to forest bathe—just bring an open heart, an adventurous spirit, and be yourself.

These events are not ones to miss, contact our team for more information, availability and booking! We can’t wait to see you in the forest! 🌲

Hey Wellness Lovers!

This past week has been so full and so fun, with us welcoming so many awesome groups for some epic vibes! 🙌

We’ve seen so many of you for both public and private Goat Yoga classes - you know we (and the goats!) love making new friends. We’re loving the Spring energy on the farm and are excited for more fun and laughs as we move through the rest of the season. 🌸☺️

Forest Bathing at The North Carolina Arboretum is especially beautiful with everything in bloom - join us for our next mindful and meditative walk on May 3rd. It has to be experienced to be fully understood and appreciated. 🌳

Private Yoga and Massage have been super popular this week - it’s a perfect pairing for a trip to remember! 🧘

We are so excited for what’s to come over the rest of April and into May - our Blue Ghost Firefly experiences are selling fast, but there’s still time to grab your spot for a Night Hike or Overnight Retreat! Not to mention the return (woohoo!) of Public Yoga Hikes - we are so ready to get back out there! 🩵✨
