Here’s your invite to escape the job, the care-taking, the computer, and all the adulting. Here’s your chance to head to the hills and get back to yourself. 

Mid-life can be a breakdown or a breakthrough. We have a choice: desperately squeeze ourselves into a tighter, younger, and more confining box, or finally call BS. Stop buying into not being enough. Stop being so mean to ourselves. Stop scrolling for ways to “fix” ourselves. Finally stop giving our power away.

Instead of playing by all the “rules”, let’s write our own. Let’s slow down enough to feel what feeds us and what moves us.

Here’s how we’ll make it happen:

Twice-daily movement medicine classes will shed crusty layers of stress, declutter the mind, and build strength. Afterwards, we’ll feast on the local summer bounty created by our private chef. Beautiful, delicious, and healthy meals will be served…and you don’t even have to do any dishes! 

With guidance from some of my favorite local experts, we’ll learn about hormonal health and herbal skin care, and I’ll teach you how to DIY your own woo-woo with tarot. We’ll hike on the Appalachian Trail and return to a restorative massage. There will be plenty of downtime for naps, reading, or simply listening to the river. 

We’ll set up camp at Paint Rock Farm in Hot Springs, NC, which sits atop a spectacular bluff overlooking the national forest and the French Broad River. You can  make yourself at home in a beautiful glamping cabin overlooking the river or across the mountain meadow among the wildflowers. We’ll gather in an artfully restored tobacco barn for classes, family-style meals, and lounging on the patio for happy hour. 

If you crave less screen time and more dream time, we’ve got the Adirondack chairs, the campfire, and the fireflies to (re)spark your awe. Come for some deep breaths of mountain air, to commune with an awesome group of women, and to find your inner mountain mama. 

*This event is open to cis, trans, and queer women. Non-binary and minority genders are welcome—basically, if herbal skin care routines and managing estrogen levels interest you, come on down!
